Pre-Holiday Update 11/18/23
It’s been quite some time since I’ve shared with you here on the blog. A lot has happened & besides it being difficult for me to keep up with posting regularly right now due to my symptoms, I haven’t been sure what direction I wanted the blog to go in, or what I think will resonate with readers. I want to stay authentic & true to myself & my mission, but I’d also like to make sure I’m making posts that are engaging for my audience.
I’ve also gone through some growth & changes personally. I feel like turning 38 in October really signaled coming into my own, finding my voice again & being unapologetically myself. Throughout the process of healing from the physical pain & internal trauma associated with the accident where I was struck by a car traveling 48mph while crossing the street in downtown Phoenix, I have had to learn how to advocate for myself in ways I never thought I’d need to.
Coupling all that with being a single mother to a high school senior, who is a young man getting ready for college. Trying to support his big transition towards independence & finding his path as a single mother, while dealing with my health issues has been quite the difficult task to say the least.
But despite all that, there have been so many moments of joy: seeing the confidence beginning to exude from my son, putting together elegant outfits & dinner party plans, meals at nice restaurants, takeout in comfy satin pajamas, support from my family, making new friends & God constantly showing me that He not only has my back, but He truly has great things in store for my son & I in the very near future.
Saying all that to say, even though many, many days are a struggle, I’m still committed to showing up as my true self with courage & vulnerability. (That second one is the harder of the two for me.😬) I’m looking forward to the holidays & sharing some great recipes & tips with you all, I hope you’ll join me here & on my social media platforms, where I post much more regularly.
I’d like to leave you with a scripture that I hope will encourage you:
“He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds [healing their pain and comforting their sorrow].”-Psalms 147:3 (AMP)
Be blessed & don’t be a stranger🤍
