Happy One Year of Self Employment to Me
Wow! This week celebrates one year of complete self-employment for me. Navigating those early stages of being self-employed is challenging, let alone trying to accomplish that in the midst of a national and global crisis. When I left my job I was not only leaving the comfort of a stable job but I completely switched career fields. There was definitely a mix of emotions in doing this. I had just spent a ton of time and money getting a degree in the field I was leaving, was this normal? Being the first one in my family to attend college this felt even more uncomfortable. It was ingrained in me to…

What You Give Your Body You Get Back
Hello Lovelies! So, it has been a nice hot minute since we have chatted. Had this marvelous idea that would write during the extensive travels that happened the last couple weeks, let us take a minute and laugh at that. That was a great thought but there was no real way to achieve that when it was all I could do to finish the day then crawl into bed.
