I came across an old post I wrote back in 2020. The post was about seeing things clearly and how 2020 was the year of clear vision. Fast-forward to now, 2020 has nothing on 2024. This year has been an eye-opening year for sure. It’s like we’re seeing a lot of people’s (and organizations’) … More 2024: The Year of Reveal. (When Push comes to Shove!) Blogmas #4
I was sitting at my desk the other day, staring in a daze, and I saw something that I remember wanting for a long time. It was on my list for a while and now it was in my possession. It made me look at all the items that were previously on the lists … More Does a Sense of Certainty Equal a Better Outcome? (Manifestation & Faith) #Blogmas 3
         I’ve been thinking and wondering what the next chapter of my blog will be. Initially, it was about my life after grad school, and although things haven’t gone as planned, I’m glad that I recorded a lot of moments over the last five to six years. I hated coming back on here with negative … More Entering a New Chapter (Saying goodbye to the life I knew, and the fear of starting over.) (Blogmas #2)
It’s hard to believe that it’s officially the last month of 2024. This year has been one crazy year, and not the usual crazy. It’s been odd, but also enlightening. It’s like a lot of truths were exposed this year, and so many people are tired and overwhelmed. I’ve definitely learned a lot this … More Thinking of my next chapter… (It’s time for a Factory Reset) (Blogmas #1)
        I’ve been dreading this update for a long time. I know through my blogging journey I wanted to be very open and transparent, but towards the end I thought it was best if I pulled it back a bit. I was starting to see the pitfalls of oversharing, and I just thought I was … More What I’ve been afraid to talk about. (Finally Accepting My Reality: The Fall of my Marriage During the Hardest Time of My Life.)
        It’s been a year since I’ve started phase 2 of my mental health journey. After doing what I could do on my own I finally caved in and started counseling and antidepressants last fall. I can’t say that counseling was effective. I tried so much on my own beforehand that I covered 97% of … More Antidepressants trial and error. The downside of the effects. (Mental Health Update)
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about our intuition. For most of us we get this feeling deep inside of us before any decision we make, whether major or minor. When we apply for a job, or accept a job offer, or decide to date someone, or marry them, we might get certain thoughts … More Listen to Your Intuition! (It’s telling you something.)
It’s interesting how two people who are close to you can both see you differently. How can two people who know you so well see two completely different things? Usually, one would think that the people who are close to you would all see the same thing. In other words, if I asked my … More Words carry weight, but that doesn’t mean I should let them weigh me down.
         Last year was one hell of a journey! There were so many lessons and life changing moments. I’ve learned more about myself and embraced the need for change. I pushed back my fears and started counseling and learned that I cannot fight depression and anxiety alone. I started my new medication back in November … More New Steps, New Adventures and New Paths. (Chasing Happiness after Grief)
I know I’ve been away for a while and honestly; I wish I could say it was for any other reason than the same reasons from these last couple of years. It’s tough coming back on here without a different update. Between being lost in my grief and fighting depression it just seems like … More One Day at a Time . . .
