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.

A Quick Intro

 Good Morning,  April 5 and it’s snowing and cold in Alberta. 🥶 I thought I would come on and give a quick introduction about myself.  I am a 44-year-old female living in Alberta, but originally from New Mexico. My journey has had me reside in many different places, such as Illinois, South Africa, Alberta, Ontario, Colorado., Montana, etc.. I work as a social worker and I have worked in various areas.  I have a crazy cat named Luna who’s turning three this year   I love to hike and be outside. Thr outdoors is always my first choice. I’m a domestic violence survivor 💜 and I’m currently writing a memoir which I hope to be published by January. I would love for this to be interactive, so please let me know about you, and things that interest you   Signing off with much love and wishing you a beautiful weekend 🩷

The power of prednisone

  The Power of Prednisone Prednisone is the medication I rely on when I experience autoimmune attacks. These attacks can be brutal; sometimes the pain is so severe it sends me to the hospital. Other times, the flare-ups are moderate—meaning I am in intense pain and completely immobilized, but not quite sick enough for the emergency room. When this happens, I usually start taking five or six prednisone pills a day. If I only need them for two or three days, I can stop safely, but if I take them for a week, I have to slowly wean down the dosage. Usually, within a few days, my physical symptoms ease and I begin to regain my movement. That is the incredible physical power of prednisone. However, this medication holds a second, much darker power: it severely impacts my mental health. Under its influence, I become deeply sad, depressed, and agitated, feeling as though nothing is worth it. It completely shifts my perspective, stripping away my ability to feel good about anything, and it...
