This Blonde Has Goals, How 'Bout You?

I didn't come this far to just come this far

Finally, it is Friday! The holy grail of week days! Although I am working some extra shifts at the restaurant this weekend, I am looking forward to relaxing! I have been precepting at a family practice the last few days, I'll be there until next Friday and then I'll receive my first float assignment! I cannot wait, there are a variety of offices I could be sent to and I am eager to learn! The sky is the limit, I'm looking forward to floating to different specialties and learning from talented providers! This is my favorite part of the medical field, amazing physicians teaching their passions.
Today was the first day was back in the saddle! It was like riding a bike, except for when I introduced myself as a server instead of an MA! ha! It was a memorable moment, one that I'll bring up later when telling people how I got to where I am. This fall I will take an online class that is needed to apply to the nursing program I am interested in. The goal is to apply and be accepted in the spring or summer next year, the sky is the limit! The steps to get into the program are similar to what I already did but it's a good refresher. Earlier this week, I wasn't viewing this as such but I'm feeling grateful that I have a second chance. The medical field is full of ups, downs, codes, policies, and procedures yet I wouldn't change a thing. Today made me realize how much I missed this field, whether it was the hospital floor or the clinical office, these patients are my passion. Hearing about their issues, big or small, and critically thinking to solve it and get that satisfied, reassured smile is what makes us do this everyday. I don't see it as a job, I don't see it as a hassle, it is truly my passion. With renewed motivation, I am prepared to head back into the field with more confidence than I've ever had.
You know, your twenties are about learning about yourself and figuring out what the heck you're supposed to do with the rest of your lives. The amount of pressure I put myself under in the past 5 years has been absolutely ridiculous and I blamed everyone else for it. In actuality, I was unhappy that I'm not where I feel I should be. After 7 years in the medical field, being 3 months away from graduation, and one stupid disease that I let take over my life, I have a renewed hope and strength for the future. God has a plan and knew what he was doing in each part of my life thus far, I trust the Man! He brought people in and out of my life who helped me along the way and taught me something, whether it be good or bad. He brought me to a new city full of opportunities, and he gave me the courage to take on hindrances head on. It would be so easy to let all the negative aspects cloud my vision and I have for a long time, but luckily, I get to refocus and make new goals.
I hope that everyone gets to experience something that makes them have an "ah ha" moment. It really has helped even the last few days, I can only imagine how much more it'll help continuing on. I pray that the weekend comes and stays for a bit to be enjoyed, that Monday won't really be the typical Monday, and that everyone invests their time in themselves just a bit. God bless!

Growth, Perspective, and Silence

"Some days, I can conquer the world. Other days, it takes me three hours to convince myself to shower"- the perfect Pinterest quote! This 27th year has been one of growth and reflection. I truly thought looking at 27 year-old people then that by the time I had reached this point that I would be an independent, sexy, confident woman with this spectacular job and a hardworking stud by my side! Some of this came true, but not much! I've got the stud, that's about it! That being said, I came into this year thinking that I knew who I was, where I was heading and that I had a great man to share it all with. One thing that people normally won't tell you is that when your relationship becomes committed and you're around the other person practically 24/7, they begin to see your flaws and, if you're as lucky as I am, they begin to help you become a better person. One thing that anyone who knows us will tell you is that when you meet the beau and I for the first ti...

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...

Save the Fave!

Sometimes all you need is a little sparkle and a whole lotta Jesus! Every summer and spring, I get a tad mani obsessed! Glitter, pastels, and accent nails take over from the matte, jewel tones, and dark colors of winter and fall! I love doing my own nails, mainly because I'm a control freak and I hate bubbles, smudges, creases, and any possibility that would cause me to tell the manicurist to redo each flaw. I think they would kill me, haha! I absolutely love sparkles and accent nails! I know this isn't a new trend and people have since moved on to nail ombrees but I'm still doing the accent, surprise surprise I'm not up on the new trends! Why change if I still love it?! One polish that is my summer go-to is this sparkle from Sephora by OPI, "Meet Me at the Disco". It is the perfect pairing to almost every spring/summer shade. Since I am a true Florida girl, spring and summer tend to be one in the same, as are the shades! We only really have three seasons:...
