It’s been a minute.

My last post was “Thirty-five Days” and I have definitely gone through some changes since then. During the government shutdown of 2019, I had a lot of time to contemplate my life and my career. It was a difficult time. The reality is that life is full of difficult times. This was not the first, not the worst, and not the last.

It’s May 5, 2020 and I have been working from home since March 19th because of Covid-19. How am I navigating this situation? I must say that I am coping pretty well. I feel stronger and more resilient than ever.

Over the last year, some critical things have changed. The most important is my perspective. This year I made myself a priority. I know that sound good but what does it actually mean.

Well, I took some time to think about what I want for me. Not for my husband, kids, siblings, job, or friends but what I actually want for me. It took while. I had put my wants on the back burner for so long that it took a while to connect with myself and figure it out. I had to discard things that society tells us we want or need and listen to my own thoughts and desires.

Take 10. 

Breathe. 

Listen to your heart.
