I'm in need of any and all prayers 🙏, good juju, and any positive energy you can send out my way please. 💗
🙏I wanted to put this request out there to all my prayer warriors and all other warriors because I know how the power of prayer and our amazing God can bless us. How the simple task like the power of positive thinking and putting out positive energy for others can make such a big difference, especially when you are tackling heavy things.
🎂Tomorrow is my 46th birthday and being another year older is a gift not a guarantee..
So, with that being said instead of celebrating this year-- ironically I will be having the biggest/most complicated surgery of my life and would love your support through prayer and good well wishes this year.🏥🥼🩺
🙏 Please pray/think good thoughts for my skilled surgeon(s), doctors, nurses,
food/cleaning staff and any other staff/people that may be associated with my care. Please also pray for my strength, strength for Todd, and our family/friends that will also help me through this surgery and my recovery. 🩺
( 📝I don't want to go into all the medical details regarding my surgery over social media as this is a very private matter to me and hope you can understand that)
🎂😍 I also wanted to make sure to say "Thank you" ahead of time to anyone who graciously takes the time out of their busy day to wish me a "Happy Birthday".🤔 You may wonder why I haven't responded/liked/loved your wish to me,
I promise I'm not ignoring you, and I am so beyond grateful 💕 for any and all of it, but I won't be able to respond. My surgery will be first thing very early in the morning 🥱😴 and after I will be admitted inpatient at the hospital for 3-5 days.
🥹My road ahead will be challenging and difficult and it will definitely push me to my limits both physically and mentally-- especially with all I deal with already on a daily basis with my severe chronic pain and other chronic health issues.

I have been zoning in on my self-care and concentrating on things that provide me joy during this difficult time in our lives.

While in survival mode, I really want to work on sharing more of me, personal things, and share more of the things I love and create in my journal pages and planners.

The first picture is my @sterlingink A5 daily that I use as my Bible study planner, this is my monthly layout for February and I love how it turned out. I'm not using kits in this planner, it's just washi and minimal stickers. I plan on sharing some more of how I set this up as well, it's my go-to every day!!

The rest of the pictures are some of my @papermintystudio collection which i love and hold close to my heart, and my A6 Sterling Ink notebook that I have been playing around with, using it for "To do" lists and taking notes, ideas and such. To my surprise I am really loving this size!! I've seen so many of my favorite people on IG using this size so I thought I'd give it a try.

I'm really hoping that Sterling Ink makes my wish come true with the daily planner, making it available in the A6 size and in the color Fairy Floss--- because I would absolutely LOVE it!!!
I also would love the fairy floss color to be offered next year in all the other sizes as well like the A5 because if you know me, pink is my jam. I am loving my Sterling Ink Passport, A5 vertical, A5 Daily, and notebooks!! 💓😉💓 by @friedajeanplans

Happy 9th Wedding Anniversary to my Amazing, Smart, Kind, and Loving husband Todd Bruggeman 💗💗💗

You and I have been through so much together!
(9 married, 14 years together)

It surely hasn't been an easy path for us as we continue to go through more trials and hardship. However, we always seem to get through it with our continued strength and most of all our love for one another.

I know we will somehow get through this difficult and trying time just as we have the others. I am so thankful that at least this time we will be in MN and have the love and support of our family and friends.

🥂Cheers to many more years of fun adventures, countless belly laughs, singing together, and being the BEST Auntie and Uncle ever!! I love you more than words could ever express or say.. 💗💗💗

Thank You for being My Rock, My Best Friend, and..
"All of me loves all of you" forever and ever until our final expenses. 😘😉😂 by @friedajeanplans

Happy Birthday to My Most Bestest Friend who turned into a sister @sonyabunde 🥳

Near or far we've been best friends for over 30 years and I couldn't have asked God for a better person by my side.

I'm so excited to be back home in Minnesota so that we can continue to have more adventures and make more memories together.

I love you more than words could ever say, and can't wait to celebrate all that is you after the holidays!!! XOXO by @friedajeanplans

It's hard to believe my Gramps has been gone for 15 years, everything changed when he left us, and I miss him so very much.

He always knew how to make me laugh, and taught me so many jokes and one-liners like: "Holy smokes the church is on fire" 😂.

I miss you and love you so much Gramps and I hope you're having fun playing cards up in heaven, don't forget to save me a spot at the table. ♠️♣️♥️♦️ by @friedajeanplans

Here's what my week looks like in my @makse.life flagship planner this week. Instead of "To do" lists I changed it up and it's filled with some memories of the days instead. Remember it's okay to switch things up!! Be creative, love your planner and goals!!

I've also filled these pages with these stunning handmade creations from the amazing @papermintystudio I love how it turned out!!! I absolutely love everything Nani creates and her designs come from her 🧡 and I'm here for all of them!

I hope all of you have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by, every follow, like and comment is special to me so thank you!! 🧡🧡🧡 Hugs and love from me to you! by @friedajeanplans

I hope everyone got what they wanted yesterday and on Monday at the @makse.life launch!!! Unfortunately, I was in bed for two days with a bad migraine and felt terrible that I didn't get a chance to post.

This is my favorite time of year, being an affiliate was a big dream goal for me and I can proudly say I've been a loyal and loving Mäksēlife planner for years now and Sierra's system and Clubmakse have changed my life.

One of the most special items this year from launch is the charm for me, a big reminder for us all as we navigate through this thing called life.
On the back of the charms package words of wisdom from the beautiful Sierra @plannerfriend :
"Who you become in the process of working towards your goals is as important, if not more so than crossing the finish lines of achievement."
When I saw this golden nugget it hit home hard, tears flowing hard, because since June I've had a lot going on medically and mentally.

We recently moved our entire life from Virginia (near D.C.) back to our home state of Minnesota. What we thought was going to be a 3 year move turned into 8!! I have been completely miserable out there missing my friends and my family and my health has only gotten worse.

So, in mid September we got the news that we were finally getting to move home, and we both couldn't have been more excited!!! However, that also comes with moving and packing (which was all done and paid for the last time we moved) and it had to be done ourselves, in a very short time, and came with lots of challenges and a lot of work. My BIL cancelled last minute to come out and help us because he got covid' and we had to scramble to finish ourselves (which led to packing till 5am several days/nights) and we had to hire someone to pack the rental truck because my husband couldn't do it himself.

💛As promised, I had to share my new cream Planner Folio with this beautiful yellow floral cover because together---->they're pure perfection!! 🤌💛💥

💛I absolutely loved this cover from the past years and never had the chance to get it, so I am super pumped that Mäksēlife brought it back and even better--->as a removable and reversible cover!! Now I can have it forever and so can you!!!!

💛These covers are not only gorgeous, but very durable! Each one has three layers of sturdy goodness and it's not cheap plastic either, these covers have been something the Mäksēlife team has been working and testing for years to make perfect and they nailed it!!

💛I love all the covers so much and I want them ALL!! Stay tuned to see the others I picked up!!! 👀
(Shhhhhh, I may or may not have to pick up a few more on launch day 🫣)

💛What's your favorite Mäksēlife cover?!?!

One of my FAVORITE new items this year from @makse.life is the Planner Folio covers!!! They come in Navy and Cream, and of course I had to get both!!

They are very soft and feel like high end real leather the inside of the pockets even feel like a soft blanket material it's unreal!

So many pockets to include everything you need (I'm gonna fill mine up and will share) from stickers and stencils, to pens and markers this thing will hold it all and don't worry it has an elastic closure so you can sticker up that planner, add your accessories, and it will still close!!!

My only hope is that they come out with more fun colors like PINK (my fav) and black (my other fav) to go with all my fun new covers!!!

Mark your calendars and set those alarms you don't want to miss out!!!

Clubmakse early launch: October 21st
Mäksēlife official launch: October 22nd
Time: 10am Pacific/1pm Eastern
