Blew My Own Dang Mind!

Celebrate what you've accomplished, but raise the bar a little higher each time you succeed!
After two long weeks on studying, I officially passed my certification exam to become a registered medical assistant. This is the what I had to do before I could be hired on with the hospital system here. I cannot wait to get start with them! It is only up from here!! It was nice and refreshing to study for this exam. As odd as that seems, I love the medical field and I missed learning about new information that I haven't dealt with such as the financial aspect of medical offices, coding, and administrative policies. I couldn't help but wonder why they didn't have us study any of this in nursing school. Granted, most nurses are training for the hospital environment, I think it would help and give a little insight into insurance, medicare and other things that would help us answer patient questions. I am ready to get back to work in the medical field, not looking forward to the early mornings but I will get used to it again.
It has been a super lonely weekend, well actually 5 days; Brad left Thursday morning dark and early. I finally return to work tomorrow morning and I am looking forward to being around my peeps again. As most, if not all, of you know, Orlando was struck with a terrorist attack on Sunday morning. Not sure how well known it is, but my older brother is gay. He came out about 5 years ago, it was different but my family got through it and we are stronger because of it. It is tragic but I am blessed to only know of the victims. Another devastation that isn't as great as a terrorist attack was the shooting of one of Voice semifinalist. After her show, Christina Grimmie was signing autographs and a man walked up and shot her both in the head and the stomach. After being rushed to the hospital, she passed away shortly thereafter. I bring all this sadness up to point out how preventable this entire weekend bloodbath could have been. There is not a reason that any of it had to happen.

I am not big into politics, I believe what I believe strongly and with personal reasoning. I do not have to defend my person decisions, don't intend to, but I do dislike listening to those requiring other to justify their beliefs. Let your neighbor be! Evil exists in this world, just as love and equally do. Unfortunately, it is unavoidable. As angry as I get trying to understand why things happen, I can't and won't ever. I can only trust God that He has our country in mind and has a plan for it. Sad as it may be, tomorrow will come and people will continue on with their routines. This tragedy will change lives but the world will continue on. I just pray when we get lost in our hustle and bustle, we keep in mind that life is short and tomorrow is never a guarantee. We need to learn from each incident and grow together but unfortunately, history is repeating itself.

I hope everyone has a great week full of productivity and positivity! This week I'll be posting about hair tips for breakage, makeup tricks and today's manicure!

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....

Tropic Like it's Hot!

Oh Florida summers... Goodness, is it hot?! Growing up in Fort Myers, you lived for Disney Original Movie marathons, ice cream, pool day and that rainy 3pm nap. That was life for us! After living in Central Florida for a little bit, I will say there is no better cure my Summer woes except for being in Fort Myers. Don't get me wrong, Mt Dora was beautiful but there is just something about my hometown! This week was the second at the new dermatology job, I'm slowly but surely learning the lingo. I have been in the medical field 10 years, but this specialty has a language all it's own! It's hard to keep your confidence, this position is more hands on involving anesthesia and sutures, but I'll get there! I will say though, I truly despise being the "new girl". Everyone asks the same question, patients and peers are a tad nervous since you're a stranger and all they have to go off of for your experience is your word. It's intimidating but adds to ...

We Don't Talk About That...

Mental health has never been a "hot topic" or a common dinner conversation, it is usually dusted under the rug and left to fester til another day. Honestly, I'm writing this for my own mental health, rather my sanity. Since this virus took over our lives, being forced to live completely out of the norm has made mental health become a little bit more of a subject but not by much. Being bored and forced to be in the same house almost 24/7 can cause you to focus on things you wouldn't normally think about. This is also true for myself. Up until now, I haven't really discussed with anyone but close friends and family what I have struggled with for a long time. To me, you talk about it and everyone will think you're looney. Well, I'm over it and tired of hiding it so here goes! When I lived in Orlando, I had extremely high anxiety for the first time. I was basically alone full time miles away from my hometown. I tried so desperately to avoid facing what I...
