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!

Thirty-Onederful!

Today I turned 31, it was a different birthday vibe than I usually have. Typically, I get really into my plans and can't wait for the day to come. Maybe it is because our plans changed drastically suddenly or because of the imminent threat of the hurricane looming in the back of my mind. But today ended up much better than originally anticipated! Of course, I needed the birthday Snapchat filter! Our plans were to go to Croom which is a motocross park ran by the state. The property used to be phosphate mines in Brooksville, it has since been used for motocross celebs and locals for enjoyment. Last minute, literally 5 hours before we were supposed to head north, the boyfriend tells me that due to the pain in the rump hurricane barreling towards the east coast they are closing the park. Talk about blonde emoji facepalm, ugh!! Now, I do not ride a dirt bike, heck I barely have the coordination to walk and chew gum at the same time. But I enjoy disconnecting, hiking, and relaxin...

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...

Love Your Lady Lumps!

Workin' on my fitness!  About a month ago,  I posted about my fitness journey and the inspiration that motivates me towards my goals. I've always been super teeny, petite and never really gained much weight until I was in nursing school and just before I was diagnosed with t1d. I had always wanted this fit, toned figure but wasn't educated in the slightest about how to go about doing it. I knew nothing about good and bad carbs, protein, how certain fats can be good for you, workouts, supplements, and schedules. After much educating, mostly through my favorite social media athletes (mentioned in this post ), I decided to make my goals and be motivated this year to actually progressing towards achieving them. I began a cycle of supplements today, which is what spawned this post in the first place. I've learned that fitness is all about your own journey. Every body and mind is completely different, we may have similar goals and ideas on how to get there but what may w...
