New Beginnings

Happy beautiful Friday everyone!! I hope you had an incredible week, and are excited for the weekend!!

So far this Friday is off to an incredible start; at 7 am I went to an incredible sunrise flow at my new favorite hot yoga studio, Citizen Yoga, and afterwards I went to my favorite cafe (New Order Coffee) and spent the rest of the morning outside with an iced matcha and hot tea! Truly the perfect start to the day! 

I’ve been wanting to share this post for a while now, because a lot has been happening that I haven’t shared with all of you.  For the past month I’ve been battling a lot internally; I was depressed, my anxiety was taking over, and I felt like I lost myself completely.  I didn’t recognize the person who I became, and it was a scary feeling.  It was in that moment that I knew I needed to make a change, but I had no idea where to start.

If I’m being honest, it’s not often that I pray.  I believe in God and all of the wonderful things that He does, but it had been far too long since I truly opened my heart to Him.  The day that I lost myself was the day that I prayed.  After opening my heart, I almost instantly felt like a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders.  I smiled and laughed for the first time in a while, and since that moment everything fell into place.  My entire day was filled with the most beautiful signs, and I knew He was with me.  He gave me strength and courage, and slowly I began to recognize myself.  

During this time I was between a career change, and the next day I received a phone call scheduling a follow up interview for one of the positions that I applied for.  A few days after, I received another phone call scheduling a follow up interview for a different position at a different company.  Both positions were ones I had been dreaming about, and up until that moment I hadn’t heard anything regarding my application.  Everything was falling into place.

Fast forward to today: I was offered one of the positions and I have another interview for the other position coming up next week! I’ve been filling my days with friends, loved ones, and adventures, my health is finally back on track, and I feel like my mind is completely clear.  I have all of my content completely planned and scheduled for the rest of the YEAR, including some exciting fall, winter and Holiday content, and I could not be more ecstatic!  I purchased my yoga membership, signed up for a 5K in November, and I’m looking for more ways to get involved in the Detroit community by stepping outside of my comfort zone!  We changed around our wedding plans and everything could not be more perfect (wedding update coming VERY soon), and I’ve discovered who my true friends are during this entire process.

While this journey was a difficult one, I believe it was necessary.  It allowed me to make the changes that were crucial in my life, it allowed me to find my happiness, it allowed me to find my best friends and to surround myself with those who are so loving and kind, and it allowed me to reconnect with Him.  

Here’s to new beginnings, I can’t wait to see what happens!

Love & Good Vibes
