This year has been a bit of a rollercoaster for me. Whether good or bad, there has been a lot of change and considerable overwhelm. Some experiences are still being processed and I haven’t been as present on this blog as I would like to have been. Thank you for your continued support and patience while I get back into the swing of things for the new year. As always, thank you to the super stars in my life that are consistently there through it all.
Here’s a recap of the major events of the year:
✔️ Quit my job in healthcare after 14 years

Definitely starting to feel more settled after the whirlwind this year has been. At the very least, my stress levels have dropped considerably and now there’s room to focus on the healthier habits I’d like to adopt. Change is rarely easy and it takes time to adjust but if you take things one day at a time, you’ll get there too. Looking forward to see what adventures the new year brings!
