From now on when people ask, what do you do for a living? I will reply with “my best!”.

There’s been so much going on in my life lately, whether it’s personal, work related or just getting through life through all our chaos, I’ve been doing my best. It’s been quite some time since I’ve dived into all of the things so I’m going to break it up over the next few post.

I have been split down a path for my career. I wholeheartedly love real estate and don’t see myself only doing that. I’m not a robot sales woman, nor will. I become some car salesman just to make ends meet. I am a human being and for that I want to help people at their place when they’re ready. I want to meet genuine people who trust and want to work with me because I am different from the rest. I no longer buy leads or fish for the next client the way most due today. Not only is it costly it’s tiresome and it makes me feel less of a human being. With that being said, I have been leaning into other places in my life that provide income. I know my talents and skills – its an overwhelming amount to be honest. We could say that I’m dual career, but I will just say that I’m doing my BEST.

I’ve been exploring a lot mostly outside, becoming a baby birder, asking more questions, diving into nature, being true to my inner child and enjoying life where I can. Outside these days, I have been playing disc golf, skating and doing yoga. There’s always a hike or five, and maybe some camping as well. With all of this exploring and nature surrounding me, I’ve been able to reset and figure out things differently from myself. This ALONE has brought peace back to my practice and routine.

I’ve also been cooking a lot more, you may know that I was vegan starting in 2014 after finding out about my endometriosis. I have slowly change lanes into a pescatarian and now I’m happy to say that I actually can eat chicken. I’m still scared of red meat and sometimes the chicken doesn’t sit well. It really just depends on my flareups, but I’m learning as I go and hopeful for a healthy and balance body while still eating foods that I’ve cut out over the years.

Also check out my last thrift haul posted on Instagram. I thrift shop often, its a form a medicine for sure. I really do enjoy the hunt and thrill of finding something unique. I’ve noticed that the cost of clothing has gone up and the quality hasn’t. I’m not saying that I only buy thrift, but I do my best to lean towards that prior to buying something brand new. I do not buy shoes, underwear, hats that are used the rest I feel is safe enough to wash and or edit as I see fit.

Health wise, today is okay, some days are tragic though. My depression as well as symptoms with endometriosis have been quite the roller coaster ride. I have had 5 cyst in the last 8 months. I sometimes feel hostage to my own body. It sucks to say and hear but that’s where my minds takes me sometimes. I was going to have surgery tomorrow but now I am trying to get a second opinion. I get flare-ups like our North Carolina afternoon thunderstorms – random yet consistent. I have had several meltdowns this year (it’s only August haha). I am still pushing on, pivoting and working towards the better.

Thankfully, my friends and family are the BEST at helping me stay on tract, distracted, loved and full of life and love. Without them and their support, I am not sure where I would be now. Reach out to those you love, stop scrolling all the time.
