I just wanted to share a reminder that you actually are really great just the way you are.

As we approach the new year and corporations continue to deploy marketing tactics disguised as self improvement that are actually designed to target and prey on on our insecurities (all for their own financial gain)—I just want these words to be in your mind. You are great exactly as you are.

Negative thinking is a part of the human condition. We can’t force past it, we have to acknowledge then try our best to manage as best we can. Wanting to improve yourself is awesome. Radically accepting exactly who you are is perhaps even more awesome.

Love you all, really mean it. Thank you for being here. When I begin to spiral into my own negative thoughts I feel so much gratitude being able to come here and read your words. It means so much to me. 🦋

My sister got me this daily meditation book I thought I’d share today’s. Really love this message goes along with all my feelings completing hard + soft.

Now off to tap in for the big ball melt 🩵

FYI - there’s a bunch of Pilates items at Aldi this week if anyone’s interested! My Aldi had weighted rings, wrist weights, blocks, mats, etc! All super cute and relatively cheap. I bought the blocks and rings last time they were at Aldi (thanks to someone else in the community sharing 💜) and have loved them - bala style at a fraction of the cost for those of us on a budget 😅

Help Us Rebuild After a Devastating Apartment Fire

Hello friends, family, and kind strangers,My name is Kayla Caloca, and I recently married the love of my life on July 18, 2025. What was supposed to be a beautiful new chapter in our lives has quickly turned into a nightmare we never could have imagined.On September 25, 2025, our 2-bedroom apartment—where we were having some construction work done—caught fire. I saw sparks and went to check, but before I knew it, flames were everywhere. We lost everything in a matter of minutes. We were blessed to escape with our lives and are beyond grateful that our beloved cat survived, but we are now left with nothing but the clothes on our backs.Right now, we are staying with a family friend while we try to figure out our next steps. We never thought we’d find ourselves homeless just a few months into our marriage, but here we are—starting over from scratch.We are asking for your help to cover immediate needs, including:💔 Temporary housing until we can resolve things with our apartment management and insurance💔 Basic essentials like clothing, food, and toiletries💔 Pet care costs for our sweet cat, who is still shaken from the fireAny amount—no matter how small—will help us find a safe place to stay and begin rebuilding our lives. Even if you can’t donate, sharing this page with others means the world to us.From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, support, and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.With love and gratitude,Kayla and Ryan Caloca
