Hot Dogs & Churros

I know the title is pretty random but it’ll probably make sense later on (hopefully). 

So this past Saturday my mom and I went grocery shopping and ran a few errands. To ya’ll it may seem mundane but to me it was much needed therapy time. You see, my mom and I have very different work schedules and we don’t get to see each other as often as we’d like so we use our “errands run” as an excuse to catch up, talk about what is happening in our lives , and get coffee on the way.  After what seemed like forever at Sams Club we decided to just get some hot dogs and churros and sit down for a bit.

This may seem like it’s not that special or important but I can’t stress enough how important it is to spend time with a loved one. Just to sit and talk and see how they’re doing because forever isn’t promised. Life is going by so fast and I don’t want to go a single day without letting the most important people in my life know that they are loved and appreciated.

My goal for you today is to reach out to someone you love and care about and see how they’re doing. Make sure that you’re not the only one talking but also listen to them. As family or friends we tend to make a mistake that we don’t even realize we’re making. As much as we like to share our problems and worries we forget that the person we’re talking to also needs to vent and they need us to listen. Remember sometimes we’re not looking for answers to our problems, sometimes we just need to lean on someone and know that we’re being heard. 

So go on an errand with a loved one and maybe share a Hot Dog and Churro…

Love always,
