Priorities - moving towards your goals.

 Happy Weekend! 

I hope this finds you well. 

Today's thoughts are on prioritizing. 

Welcome to my blog haha while I am doing 30 other things. 

I am driven to complete my book but it is a very hard task. Have you ever writing a book and do you have any suggestions? I have the attention span of squirrel. Hence I have my book open on one screen and this blog on another, while my e-mail's open and my phone sitting beside me. 

How do I manage this? 

I come to the library to aid in maintaining my focus and it helps. Turning off the notifications on my phone. Saying no to getting together with people. 

Today, I cancelled plans for tonight because I want to work on my book and workout. I did not feel a connection to this person so I did not want to waste my time or theirs. His tone was not comforting, he was harsh in his words and it was going to be something to do fill time but nothing that would be satisfying. I decided to focus on my growth. This has become so much easier overtime. I use to feel bad and just meet people but now I have set my boundaries strong and healthy. If it is not in-line with my goals or future growth then I say No. I do this without guilt. It is not just about my goals but when you have people in your life working towards similar goals and growth you all show up different. I do not  want to waste peoples time. If it is not going to develop into a good reciprocal relationship or friendship then it is not fair to waste another minute of our precious life. I used to feel this was very selfish, but I do not feel this way anymore. I feel that we are all placed here for such a short time and that we need to decide what we want and go for it. Finding our purpose and aligning with the right people for us. You wont find the right people while staying around the ones who are not. I believe that people, situations and circumstances are there for us to learn from and if we listen we find our purpose. So many people are on autopilot that they miss the signs. I was like this for a long time but now I know my purpose I am driven in a different way. 


This flow was far from what I originally thought I was going but this is how my brain works post-trauma. I appreciate your support and if you made it this far I would love to hear your thoughts. 

Back to my book. 

Currently on Chapter 3 💟

Six Years Ago Today

 Today, 6 years ago I wrote a poem which will be featured in my book. It was written in my car on napkins and was a goodbye to the life I use to know.  I was full of fear and tears and needed to express myself.  I was moving to Calgary Alberta in hopes of a new life and a new start. I read the poem an it emerges a lot of emotion. I remember how lost I felt, how hopeless everything was and how I felt even the police who were supposed to support and help me only disappointed.  I was moving the first week of May. I was starting a new job May 6th and was terrified. My mother came to help me move. She arrived and we spent time packing and cleaning. This time of the year helps to empower me, helps to to believe in myself, and appreciate my journey. This journey I felt was the only way to escape my abuser. He was on multiple changes for abuse towards me. I had been so lost and scared that I stayed but I was also scared of the unknown.  I am grateful for my journey as I...

Sunset Thoughts

The sunset’s golden light accompanies me tonight. Walking the quiet path with warm rays on my skin. No longer mindful but deep in thought, of love, laughter, tears and battles fought. The cool wind that rustles the leaves, my deep breath that puts me at ease. Another day has come to a close and down goes the sun as quick as it  rose.  Good Night 💛
