Ramping Up

May was a whirlwind! In the midst of getting laid off due to AI, the close of the spring semester for my child and myself, and the weight of carrying my household on a single income I gained more clarity than I have in years. If you’ve been following my Awakening series, you know thats saying a lot! For years, I lost myself in the mundane life of being an employee… working to make ends meet but living with no inspiration. Putting my own business and entrepreneurial goals on the back burner just to merely have the energy needed to work & exist.

As the dust settles, a new life is afoot. One where I understand that the only lives I’m truly responsible for sustaining are my own and the ones I create. A life where self-care is a requirement, not an option. A life where money works for me, not against me. A life where I’m comfortable going out into the community instead of isolating out of comfortability in my room.

The clarity I found was that no matter how much you try and control things… No matter how perfect you try to walk the straight line, as soon as you step off it, the facade you’ve built your life on crumbles. When you strip away your titles, sell off your things, and are left sitting in a mess of your own making… are you strong enough to get back up and keep going? Or would you sit by idly as everything you worked for went down the drain in a heartbeat?

This year isn’t the first time that I’ve had to rebuild my life after a major loss and I’m sure it won’t be the last. But for the first time in forever, I’m clear about what I want and what I don’t want in my life. So with that being said, look out for a ramp up in my presence and content. It’s time I truly stopped playing with my potential.
