The year is quietly coming to a close with holidays looming and yet, if we don’t pause, we’ll miss it. Reflecting on our past year is in our best interest for many reasons.
Why not take what experiences we have in our lives and savor, learn, GROW?
To me, it’s a wise person that takes a still moment, whether morning, noon, or night, and just sits in it.
I’m here today to share a behind-the-scenes story with you while my reflecting is fresh and REAL.
As a gentle reminder, I am sending you over to my newer site as I am in the middle of switching brands from Prodigal Pieces to Livin’ Real with Larissa. All of my past content will eventually be directed over, so not much is changing. However, for now, I have to juggle two places until I appease the google gods that I am still worthy of interest. At the same time, I’m working my tail off to build this new site to bring even more to you.
To make this work faster, leaving a comment here, and over there as well as pinning and sharing from both makes the process even faster. This single mama truly appreciates your support, prayers, and patience.
Good things come to those who wait! Or, at least, that what I’m told and am sharing in my new life’s adventure.
Everyone wants to be where the party is, right? If they think the party is here, then all the merrier.
So… click/tap the text or image below to join me in this conversation of reflecting.
HEAD HERE TO LIVIN’ REAL WITH LARISSA
I’ll see you there and want to hear from you too!
Also, before you head over, be sure to sign up for my FREE newsletter. Until next time!





I wish you luck with the changeover, and know you will breathe a sigh of relief when it’s finished!
Thank you. I need a twin to do all the thing while I try to keep up!
I can sense the new positivity in your writing as you grow into this new phase. I’ve always felt that the experiences I’ve had, good or bad, are necessary because they’ve brought me to where I am today. No regrets, no hate, no guilt. Just the sum of my “learning” how to be the best and happiest version of me. I’m a good deal older than you, but I’m still learning and grappling and wondering why we are constantly tested and challenged to nearly breaking. I can’t answer that, but I can say these hardships make me pinpoint, appreciate and savor the wonderful things in my life. And there are many. You remind me that this is a necessary part of living and pursuing our best lives. Thank you!!! ❤️
It’s crazy though as I’ve always been an optimist and why seeing my old posts (see HERE) made me sad in a way. Just like you and no matter the age, constantly wondering why. We’ll know one day. Instead of sitting in pity, we are moving forward, Rebecca! Sending hugs and prayers your way.
