Exciting News + Pantone Color of the year Part 1

January 17, 2017 By Ruthie Ridley 38 Comments

Happy Tuesday everyone!! I hope you all had a really wonderful weekend! Mine actually ended up being a little unexpected!! There were some low moments and some really high moments of my weekend! For starters two out of three kids got sick! One with a trip to the Emergency department.  Luckily nothing serious!  We were meant to have a family day on Sunday at the Zoo, but instead I was at home in bed and on the couch all day with Judah.  He had really high fevers and was just miserable.  Thankfully he is feeling better and an upside is the girls got to have an entire day with their dad at the Zoo which is rare and so special! On Monday I had to work but Ben took the kids to march in the MLK parade downtown Sacramento.  I was so proud of them all! It was so fun and memorable for the kids!

Last week I shared about my nursing career! Along with being a nurse I am a worship leader at Jesus Culture Sacramento.  A really exciting moment for me this weekend, was getting back the demo on a song that I will be singing on the next Jesus Culture collaborative album.  EEEKK!! I have been waiting to share this really exciting news with you all, because to be honest, it doesn’t feel real and we are at the beginning stages of making this all come to life!! The live recording will be going on at JC Sacramento throughout the end of this month and February.  My particular song will be recorded on February 12th.  If you are in the area make sure you come out!!  I can’t believe I shared that! It makes it that much more real!! Be on the look out for a post re-capping the recording! I can’t wait to share all of this with you!! Also, if you are in the area in March, I will be leading worship at our annual conference here in the Sacramento region! You can get more info and register for tickets here.pantone-color-of-the-year-2-ruthie ridley blog

 

Now that you know alllll about me (JKJK)!! On to this outfit! How fun is this hem frill!?!?!?  I spotted this killer sale item at Zara last week and had to snag it! Not only is it so fun but it is green and I am loving green at the moment.  It doesn’t hurt that greenery is the Pantone Color of the year as well! I paired this dress with this super fun choker and these white sneakers! I thought, let me change it up a bit! I always have a heel on because I am 5’1″ but I decided that this look needed a pop of white and some sneakers!

So, talk to me! What are your thoughts on my big news and the Pantone Color of the year this year!?! Check out last year’s post on the Pantone Color of 2016 here!  Hope you all have an amazing week!! Thank you as always for stopping by the blog! Much love,

I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but why not 🤪. I left the worst ones out 😅

Online hate is wild to me. People behind a screen saying whatever they want not realizing it actually affects real people.

I posted a simple cute video of Ben and I going from regular clothes to our work uniforms. it went viral, which is a chance you take so I got a lot of love which I’m thankful for but a lot of hate as well.. these were all strangers, people who don’t know that we’ve been married almost 18 years, have a beautiful family, genuinely love each other, and love what we do and the people we serve 👮‍♂️ 👩🏾‍⚕️ 🩺 

You expect it to some extent but I didn’t realize how much words could still affect me…I’m 41 almost 42. It really doesn’t matter how old you are words still hit.

I’m not sharing this for sympathy just a reminder before you leave a mean comment on someone’s page whether it’s a stranger, someone you know, or someone with a big platform think twice. Words matter & they  impact people more than you think.

And don’t worry I got a new wig this week 😝💀🤣

This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my Nursing 🩺👩🏾‍⚕️ license after leaving my job in 2020 and spending five years at home with my kids creating content full time. To say I was shocked to be reentering the workforce is an understatement. Sometimes life shifts and you just have to roll with it 😮‍💨

I am SO thankful I had the opportunity to go back to work but it was hard. I felt like I failed in my business & I was down BAD 😝 But I realized something….God makes NO MISTAKES.

I LOVE my current job & I STILL get to create content, but now it feels more authentic and true to who I am😌

I am dancing because I can & because I am thankful. Your life can change SO much in a year, overnight or In a MOMENT. Trust God with your life. He will NEVER let you down 🤍
The Cop 👮‍♂️/ Nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️Comb The Cop 👮‍♂️/ Nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️Combo😝!!! You already know life is crazy, there is no “work-life balance” & we have stories to exchange for dayyys!!! 

If you’re new here, then I’ll give you a little bit of a backstory but also if you’ve been here for a while because a lot has changed in the last year 🤪. 

I became a nurse at 19 after graduating high school early, raised in a very purpose driven Jamaican home. Nursing was never just a job for me. It was provision, connection, and a way to serve people from all walks of life.

In 2020, I stepped away from nursing to pursue content creation full time, and it truly felt like a dream!!! The biggest blessing was the time it gave me with my family. Being present, raising my kids, and soaking in every moment 🥲

Then almost exactly a year ago, May 15, God called me back to nursing, and I couldn’t believe it. The transition was not easy, but it has been one of the greatest blessings. My heart is so full, and I have never felt more aligned in what I do.

God knows what He is doing. He makes no mistakes 🤍 Where are my nurses, law enforcement, and first responders at 🙋🏾‍♀️

Just stopping your scroll this evening to say GOD Just stopping your scroll this evening to say GOD IS GREAT. There are seasons where God takes years and decades to answer prayers (and I’m still waiting for some of those) and then there’s the moments where God answers your prayers hours or a day later. He’s amazing in the suddenly and he’s amazing in the waiting. Thankful for the journey✨Thankful for his faithfulness - thankful that even as I wait - He is still good😌

The way she spoke about healing, freedom, and using your own story to create change was both powerful and deeply moving. Her journey is a reminder that what we walk through doesn’t have to define us — but it can shape the way we serve others.
