It's Been a Minute

IT'S BEEN A MINUTE


 It has almost been a year since I had decided that I was going to blog. 

Life passes and changes. I would still like to blog and would love to say that I will be more consistent, as consistency is something I harp about regularly, but I feel this will be an ongoing battle. My life has gone off routine and has had many positives and a few bumps.

Updates 

* I am still minimally working my online business as a side income. -If you are ever interested and wanting an extra income stream, please leave me a message. 

* I have been having some medical testing and going through some procedures; however, things seem to be quite positive. It is unknown what is causing some of my health concerns. This often leads me to believe that it is my body holding trauma and being use to living in the flight or fight. I live a calmer life, and remove myself from drama. I choose to surround myself with people who breathe life into me. I in hopes, make them feel supported the same.  

* I have a partner who is so good to me and has been understanding. We are looking for a house and the search has been interesting. Although I know and completely understand healthy relationships my nervous system has its own insecurities. Learning to manage this has been interesting. It's funny, I know and am cognitively sure in something sand the security; however, my body gets the anxiety and feels of fight and flight and the contrast between the internal fight is one I am not use too. I well not always tell you that my cognitive ability wins. I have been able to have these ongoing conversations with my partner and he can provide me reassurance. \

* Work has gone well and I have passed and qualified for the supervisor level. There are not positions at this time but I have still managed to qualify on my first attempt. 

* My book has not had a lot of TLC lately and something I am determined to get back into doing. Writing is way harder than I had ever expected. I thought it would be easier writing something that I am very connected too but making it make sense to others has been a totally different game. 

* I have traveled to the Bahamas and had a great time. I loved the trip and will blog about it another time.

*My self-growth and learning my boundaries, saying no, riding my circle of toxic people and learning to be increasingly vulnerable on social media has been gaining traction. 

* I have started a YOUTUBE channel and would like to start doing lives but I need 50 followers. I will add the link if you care to support and follow.

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 💛
