I'm Back-Life Update!

Happy Wednesday!

I’ve missed you here! The start of 2024 didn’t go as planned so this week’s post is catching you up on the start of the year and my hopes for the rest of 2024.

At the start of the year we lost my sweet grandmother just shy of her 94th birthday and to say it shook me is an understatement. I’ve lost many important people in my life and they all hit me different but her passing was a shock to the system which made it worse. That being said my thoughts are with any of you grieving a loved one! Shorty after getting back home I unexpectedly needed to get a new car, another thing I was not prepared for. So I went through the car buying process myself for the first time and all while preparing for another move. Yes, we move A LOT. As I’m sure you all feel it rates continue to rise as a renter so we hopefully won’t be moving for a few years from our new place.

Travis started a new job that he loves. We also celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary. To say 2024 has been a RIDE up until now is an understatement.

We have some fun trips coming up this year and I’m hoping to have a new website here in time for our 8th blog anniversary!

What do you want to see here on the blog? Let me know!

3 Years Self-Employed!

3 years ago this Friday I quit my full time job in the middle of the pandemic and I’ve never looked back!

I won’t lie to you it hasn’t been easy and I still have days where I question if I did the right thing, but I wouldn’t give this up and the freedom I have for anything!

After years of doing what I thought I should and working for other people and one nasty email later I said good-bye to the corporate world and making someone else’s dreams come true and put my dreams first! 2020 was a tough year for all of us and it opened my eyes to how short life is and if you aren’t happy what are you living for?! Right?? I had thought about it for awhile but it wasn’t planned to leave my job 3 years ago but here we are! I’ve made it this far and I’m not going back! I work ten times harder to keep this as my reality then I ever did at any job I had!

So to my fellow dreamers out there, you can do it! This life of working for yourself can be your reality!

I’m cheering you on, you got this!

Happy Wednesday friends!

It’s been a minute but I feel like I’m finally getting everything under control…SLOWLY haha

This post might be a little long and a bit of a ramble but here we go life updates and what’s been happening-

Around the last week of Jan this year I started on a health and wellness journey, and committing to it! Now almost 4 months in this is something I can never see changing. I hit the gym 4-5x a week and it has improved my mental and physical health immensely, I know that’s not surprising!

To add to that I promised myself that this year I would go back to dance, I’m back to West Coast Swing Classes and will be adding ballroom dance back in as well. This is a long story as to my whole experience in dance so that blog post will come at some point. I’m just so happy to be back to what I love the most! Dance is a HUGE part of who I am.

I’ve also committed to taking care of myself this year so self care is a real thing. I carve out time once a month to get a facial and beauty services to take care of my skin and make me feel my best! This has been huge for me as well! I’ve never viewed these things as a necessity but this is something I now can’t live without!

As for business I’ve been on the up and up this year and I’m so grateful for that! When I quit my 9-5 job in 2020 I didn’t know if I would ever be in this place where I’m not chasing the bag and trying to do more and make more. While I of course have goals I want to hit this year I’m prioritizing working with clients that see the value in my services and who I get along with, GAME CHANGER!

This year I’m really focused on doing me and what makes me happy, just these things alone have helped me greatly. I feel like me for the first time in a long time and it’s just getting better! My word of 2023 is CHANGE and there has been so much of it already and I can’t wait to see what’s next but my focus: My Health, My Wealth, and My Happiness :)
