Another New Chapter

It was one year ago that my life changed in an instant. Those words I heard still linger in the back of my mind. I can remember the day, the place, the time. You would think that 265 days would make a difference in how you relive that life changing moment, but it doesn't. So many things have happened within the last year that it feels like a whirlwind of events.

I was driving to the lake this weekend and had to ask myself, "Is this all just a horrible dream? When will I wake up and things will be normal again." But it isn't a dream. This is life. There's no point in living in the past. Only utilizing past experiences to become stronger and to make better decisions.

I have always believed that things happen in life for a reason. The people you meet, the jobs you have. Together they make the dash between your birth and death date on your tombstone. I left the SO in search for something more fitting to what my degree is in. I began that search a year ago and landed a new job with new responsibilities and opportunities to improve my communication skills along with learning new tasks. It was a privilege to work for Medi-Sota and Rural Health Alliance and I am so grateful for the experiences I've had with them.

However, I am excited to start another new chapter with a new job, new house, and a new lease on life. New rules to live by and on my own.

In a previous post I talked about closing windows and opening doors. This is one of those moments of closing one door and opening another door and window. So far the view is pretty great.

I hope you continue to follow me on my journey of Lasting Impressions.

True Happiness

If I actually had real followers on here I might get some feedback on what truly makes you happy? Think about it......how many people can honestly say they are TRULY happy. And if you say, "Yes" I want to know your secret. Everyone has a bad day or two or a shitty situation that they wished they hadn't had to go through. But I do believe there are really, actual happy people out there, And I used to be one of them, Or maybe I was just young and naive at the time as well. The paths we take, the experiences we make, and the people we meet will all contribute to happiness. But I also think that there are too many people out there who aren't happy but aren't willing to take the steps to find out what it is that is making them unhappy and then make the change. For my instance, I have been jumping from job to job thinking that I was missing out on utilizing my creativity that I love so much.  I didn't like the daily task of data entry and poor work environment...

Catching up

It's been awhile since my last post but life has seen to be keeping me busy. The holidays were fine as usual and I was able to celebrate with a few friends. I still can't remember to write 2016 on my checks. I'm getting into the groove of teaching 3 classes a week at Vital Fit Club, which Racquetball Plus. My life has literally come in full circle. Because of how everything ended in my last communications position I've decided to look at new career options.  My self-esteem is so low on being able to complete anything correctly I just need to find my new niche. Every year in January I always ask myself why I live here in Minnesota, where winter is half the year!?! Oh well. Someday I will live in a warm state. If I try some spiralizing I will post pictures. Hope everyone has a great week and take a few minutes each day to reflect, center your body, and take a few relaxing breaths. 🎎
