It has been almost an entire year since I have posted on this blog. A lot has happened over the last year! I’d like to think I have been growing as a person, and I have been evolving in to the person whom I want to become. As with anything though, there has been upsContinue reading “It Has Been a Year”

Always have your guard up
If you have ever been to an NA (narcotics anonymous) meeting, you know, that it starts the same exact way every single time. We all state the we version of the serenity prayer then we take turns reading from our NA guidebook. One of the pieces of reading is “who is an addict” and thereContinue reading “Always have your guard up”
Humans are like lightbulbs
I have been doing a lot of praying, meditation, reflecting, and reminiscing on my life lately. About the path I am on, where I want to go, who I have been choosing to spend my time with. Thinking about my past and the decisions I have made, the relationships I have kept or ended. ThisContinue reading “Humans are like lightbulbs”
My “WHY”
Everyone has a “why” in life. You may not know you have one, you may not know what yours is yet, that “why” may have changed, you may have lost it over time, BUT you do have one. This concept of having a “why” drives you to your goals, deters you away from things that don’t help push you towards your goals or dreams, help define your character, helps make up a chunk of your being. It can be powerful if you allow it to be.
Dealing With Anxiety Attacks
For those of you who don’t know what an anxiety attack feels like…. Mine go something like this.

The Ripple Effect
Today, I want to share something positive. Not only because everyone has been so down in the slumps lately, but because I have been happy with the changes I have been seeing within myself. Dare I say….. I am actually feeling proud of myself. I have learned that the environment that surrounds you can have a huge impact on your life and has the power to change you as a person. How did I learn this?
Self-Worthy?
Self Worth. A tricky topic because it goes deep into yourself; a scary place for people to be. Lately I have been doing some soul searching and trying to find a piece of me that I feel has been missing. I know I lack self worth, but I didn’t know how to fix that, well because, I didn’t truly understand what self worth was.
Thoughts from a Heavy Heart
As I am writing this I am struggling, because honestly I am so emotional right now I don’t even know where to begin or what I even want to talk about. However, I feel a tug on my heart to share what I am currently experiencing,
My Five Year Plan
About five years ago I had made a five year plan; a plan for where I wanted my life to be, what I wanted to have accomplished, and how my overall life would look. Honestly, if you look at my current life and then look at my visionary life I made up 5 years ago…… it wouldn’t even look similar; I felt like such a failure.
“Magic” Fat Burners….NOPE
Since I was an overweight kid, and a girl at that, I definitely felt the body image pressure and have probably used every “fat loss” trick out there. I used and abused fat loss pills, fat loss drinks, crash diets, body cleansers, metabolism boosters, fat burners, phentermine, fat loss shakes, etc, you name it, I took it. Here is my thing
