Budgeted Blonde Goes Back to School!

"We need women who are so strong they can be gentle, so educated they can be humble, so fierce they can be compassionate, so passionate they can be rational, and so disciplined they can be free"- Kavita Ramdas

After taking quite some time off since earning my associates degree in general studies, I am returning this summer to take two online classes to prepare for my nursing degree. I love taking classes online, especially sciences! I love to go at my own pace, it teaches me time management and self-discipline! It can be a challenge, but I love it! This semester I am taking dietary studies, which is a one credit hour supplement for nutrition and oddly enough, I am a little excited about it! I think it will help with my own diet and nutrition towards my goals. I am also taking biology online, a little crazy but I need to get it finished so I can start my nursing degree.
My nursing school journey was halted unexpectedly, I explained this in detail in this post. I am hoping to start nursing again from the beginning this upcoming Spring of 2017. It was a hard pill to swallow to accept that I would have to completely start again after being 3 months away from graduating with my associates in nursing. But, it is a humbling experience that I believe I needed to go through in order to appreciate and learn from. I am currently waiting to hear back from a health system near me about a possible job back in the health field, fingers crossed!! If I get the position, it will be a day time 8-5 kind of job so nursing school will have to wait. But if not, then I will continue serving through school. Putting all these tentative plans in God's hands and praying that He will show me what is the right path for me. My patience has been tested for so long regarding my career and education, it has been a long road but I know that will just make me appreciate it that much more!

Prayers and positive vibes are appreciated while I wait for my next step! Hope everyone has a great Monday and a happy week full of blessings!

Macaroons and Memories

We didn't know we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun In the last two weeks, I've gone back to my hometown for appointments and family events. It is always interesting going back. When I'm at home in O-town, I always feel like I'm missing "back home" and want to return. Then I return and am reminded why we left; there is nothing wrong with where I am from, I just love where I am going! Centennial Park in Downtown Fort Myers My sister arranged with her photographer friend to have some family photos taken. My mom has been dying for them so we appeased her. After all, you never know when you'll have the chance again! We color-coordinated our crazy bunch and they will hopefully be great! The photog sent over some sneak peeks after and they look great so we are looking forward to seeing the rest! My sister and I My mama and her girls Since we live in the theme park capital of the world, we have annual passes to most of the par...

I'm Made of Glitter, Water, and Anxiety

So over the last few years I have struggled with admitting and treating my own personal demon of anxiety. I have many friends who have a similar struggle and agree that prior to becoming it's prey, we thought anxiety was a total joke. I mean, when I would witness an anxiety attack I would just think, 'come on, pull it together sister!'. But now that I tend to deal with it on the daily, it is a very real monster. To have your own brain betray you as such is a difficult thing to grasp. Going from a perfectly rational person to trying to prevent anything and everything that could possibly happen, you look at yourself and think 'jeez! What a nutcase!'. Treating my anxiety wasn't an easy task, especially since I began treating mine at the end of a relationship and while being completely alone. It was a daily struggle and I really didn't feel like anyone would understand without being judgemental. I also used substances as my release, we all know I love my wine....

Onto the Next One

I have posted before about my career and what happened that curbed my journey in nursing school. It has taken a long time, alot of research, and a good amount of courage and support to get my heart and mind ready to return as a student. Thankfully, I have the best motivation and I know I can definitely do it now. The first half of this year handed me my pride and visions of where I swore I thought I'd be at this point in life. Perhaps that is why it has taken me so long to feel prepared to return and accomplish what I set out to do 5 years ago. I am looking forward to continuing on but I am really going to have to swallow my pride and go back to square one. I have been in the medical field for nearly 10 years, I have done the CNA thing in the hospital, I have seen babies born, held the hand of a mom-to-be who lost her baby, I have talked to someone who was delivered news of a terminal illness, I have seen a lot. This is the pride I'll need to "suck" up as soon as I ...
