The Grumbling Tummy

So cool to think about how far The Grumbling Tummy has come for me. I started as a girl who just wanted to loose weight, a girl desperate to love herself, a girl dying to let go of the person she was to be the person she could be. Starting The Grumbling Tummy was one of the best things I have ever done, because it wasn’t just starting an Instagram it was deciding to follow my dreams and to give myself a chance. Day by day, post by post I cleansed my mind of the toxic thoughts and beliefs I held about myself and gave self love an honest shot without even knowing it. I still get scared, I still have moments when I feel unhappy but then there are moments like last night when I get invited to these events and I get to meet amazing people and see amazing places and it hits me that I get to experience this just because I decided to give it a shot. So, while all the social media can feel fake at times, the experiences and people are real... and that’s what it’s all about. ✌🏽

Makes me just want to lay next to the fire wrapped in a fuzzy blanket sipping hot coco... hide away from the world for just a little ☁️

Turn your face toward the sun and all the shadows will fall behind you 🌞

Me when I remember that what is meant for me will never miss me and what misses me was never meant for me 🌞 happy weekend!! ❤️

Weight will come and go. Life is short. Buy the shoes. Eat the wings. 💁🏽‍♀️

Incredibly excited to have the opportunity to collaborate with !!There is something about an analogue watch that does more than just tell the time, it reminds me how precious time and life truly are. 🤷🏽‍♀️ maybe that’s just me though!

Mood whenever I’m in close proximity to nature 😍🤣🤓

You either get bitter or better... telling you guys about the time I found out my ex had been catfishing other girls while “in a relationship” with me 😂 link in bio 👀

... getting cheated on. *warning... a lot of screen shots below.* I have been debating this post for almost two years now. Honestly, I am surprised I am even getting myself to write it. I decided to let screen shots do most of the talking on this one, because believe me they speak for themselves and who doesn't love a good screen shot. [ 693 more words ]

Currently the tops of the tree are in full autumn color but the bottoms are still green and lush. I find it so beautiful to be able to witness change mid process... I think the changes we go through as individual are equally as beautiful as the trees. The only difference is the rarity that we as humans take the time to appreciate our own evolution while it is happening.

If anyone has any hikes in New England / New York that they recommend lmk!! 🤗

So happy to be home 🌞

“It was when I stopped searching for home in others... and lifted the foundation of home within myself... I found there were no roots more intimate... than those between a mind and body... that have decided to be whole”

You are the 🇴 🇳 🇱 🇾 one responsible for your own happiness.

Although a hard and often difficult truth to accept, it is the most rewarding. You are the only person responsible for your happiness/ sadness/ every other emotion. The decision to not be effected by external factors is yours. Your life and your happiness are in your hands and yours alone. Stop giving this power to someone or something else.

Last week was the first and already on week 2 I’m late. If that isn’t a perfect example of my life lately I don’t know what is. I have been running all over the place trying to go where the wind takes me and make the most out of every experience. However, I do want to find a sense of accountability, and I can’t sleep and its 4:00am so what better time than to share with you the wisdom that has been blessed on me this week! [ 64 more words ]

I’ll let you in on a little secret... there’s a whole world out there waiting for you, great cities and art and music and food, genuine beauty... and you can have it all. You just have to go.

First day of work was awesome! I love starting new chapters in my life because they inevitably bring about personal growth. I can’t wait to see what this new chapter holds 🤗

I think it’s beautiful that the moon uses the suns light to glow and the sun never asks for anything in return 🌙 🌞

I’m a lady in the streets but a freak at the farmers market 🤤 😂

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Some people believe in God, I believe in the power of the universe. I believe that life is happening for us, down to every tiny detail. The answers to our questions are hidden in plain sight of our everyday lives. The key is that we be present enough to take notice. I came across all these quotes because they were meant for me and now you are reading them because in some way they are also meant for you. [ 273 more words ]

Hi Guys & Gals! I am sorry it has been so long and far in-between my posts. I have been on a bit of a self-exploration/ soul-searching journey for the past few months. It has been a wild ride so far and I am still strapped into the roller coaster going full speed. I think in some way we are all strapped into the roller coaster that is life. [ 324 more words ]

“You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said or done to you. True power is sitting back and observing things with logic. True power is restraint. If words or actions control you, that means everyone else can control you & how you feel. Breathe and allow things to pass.”

I am loving living in NYC because I’m getting to try so many new things, meet so many new people, and have fun adventures! Today’s adventure was a yoga crawl in Astoria 🧘🏽‍♀️ ... and also taking the subway for the first time! 💁🏽‍♀️

Couldn’t stop smiling the whole walk back from yoga class. I got some weird looks... but then a girl walking by smiled back at me and it completely made my week 😍😁
