New neighborhood means I need to find a new coffee shop...

It’s good to be back! You would think maintaining a blog would be an easy task, right? So much no… Life’s been moving at a high rate of crazy since the end of June. Going through the pains of selling a house right now in the current market is not for the weak hearted. Needless to say though, here we are almost two month post selling our first home and getting ready to move into our new house in September. Now that I’m a Clay County resident, I decided that with my new neighborhood, I needed to find a new ‘chill spot’. A tranquil environment to bring my laptop with me while also sipping some caffeinated brew. So naturally, when I started searching for coffee shops in Clay County, Spring Park Coffee came up on the list almost immediately.

Tasty cappuccinos on a hot day aren’t impossible. I had the entire dining area to myself and sipped to my hearts content and even threw together a few paragraphs to post to the blog page that’s probably in serious need of refurbishing at this point 😉 Seriously love the new house and can’t wait to move in! Lots of home reno ideas planned thanks to the ever influencing Pinterest that I can’t wait to post about and share! ~Keep on Smiling!

Some things never change...and some running recaps.

How on earth has it already been 6 months since my last post? SO much has happened since 2022 wrapped up and all good things might I add. Also, if you haven't tried taking a social media hiatus, at least temporarily from one platform or another, I really recommend it. I deactivated my FB earlier this year due to the annoying amount of time I spend scrolling so I just decided it was time for a break. It's all Insta, Blogger and Poshmark for me now. At least until I decide I miss FB which shouldn't be anytime soon ;) Having my breast implants removed has never been something I would talk about on my public page but since I’ve had the opportunity to talk to a few people about it I don’t mind blogging over it lol. I have felt all the positive difference in the world in my athletic performance and overall body health since having my plastic taken out. My skin cleared up and I haven’t had a single migraine since my surgery in November. I used to get the worst kind of debilit...

In My 2023 Era

I don't post anymore; we can start there. ...Just kidding. I'm here and I didn't get to put a recap on 2023 before the stroke of midnight on 12/32/31. Oh well. Last year was QUITE the year and then some! What. A. Year! I feel like the entire year itself passed in a flash. I have a calendar on my desk at work and I feel like the months were being torn off faster than I could make notes and cross days off one by one. I'm starting to see in my old age that the phrase 'time is a thief' is all too true. I was a fast year, a hectic year, but one of the very best I've had so far. There were big challenges and some tears but I'm grateful for the lessons and trial by fire as they get me ready for 2024. Read on for all of my weekend word vomit... ____________________________________________________________________________________ Every year I make a -Goals- list and I had a pretty lengthy one at the start of 2023. Things like furthering my academics, getting some...

Easy until it isn't - Part 2

November brought about another challenge that had been at least eleven months in the making. If you Google BII (breast implant illness), you will see several articles and YouTube videos come up about women who are electively choosing to have their cosmetic breast implants removed. Remember those vision distortions I mentioned earlier that happened in Richmond? This along with migraines, were a new phenomenon I was experiencing ever since I had decided to get cosmetic surgery in February of 2019. I was having them at least twice a week and on a typical day of getting one, I could expect to be out of commission and unable to work from 20-30 minutes at a time until my vision would come back. Looking at my phone, computer, TV’s or monitor devices at work were absolutely out of the question and a few times while working on inpatient studies in the hospital, I would have to take a long break to go for a walk or just sit in the staircase with my head in my hands until I could see again. We ...
