For as LONG as I can remember, I’ve been told all my life that I was clumsy . Since I was a child, I’ve heard those words repeatedly. Of course, I started believing and internalizing them for years, received them as being my own, and would frequently use them as part of my internal dialogue. Every time I did something that people considered as being, clumsy , I would reaffirm to myself how clumsy I was. Why NOT?? I’ve been doing it all my life. Recently, I’ve started becoming very annoyed at having those words either spoken to me or continue to pop in my head when things happen. This might not be your story. You might have been told something totally different, but I bet you can relate. Here’s what I want you to remember... because this is what I hold dear to my heart now...

Last year made me realize just how short life really is so I know that I will be incorporating less stress and a lot more self-care in the days and months to come. What does SELF-CARE mean to you ? It can mean different things to different people. My advice is to find what works for you and do that! For me, self-care means that I’m not just focusing on one aspect of my being, but that I’m trying to maintain a balance in my life by taking care of all aspects of my wellbeing. This can include so many different things and look so many different ways. If you want to learn ways to focus on your self-care, a google search will yield many ways in which you can practice caring for yourself this year. I know this to be a very important aspect in my own health so I’ve adapted it as part of my lifestyle. So here’s wishing you a healthy, happy and prosperous new year with lots of self-care sprinkled in.
Last year on JAN the 19 th my Dad Transitioned from this life. As a result of his transitioning, it forced a lot of our family dynamics to change. Today is the day that the Presidential transition takes place. The President-elect of the US will take over the administration from the incumbent president, signifying a transfer of power. Whenever this happens, there are always changes made by the President elect that we must adapt to. When we think about Transitional words or phrases, we know that they can be used to clarify the relationship between sentences. They often help one sentence move, or flow smoothly into another sentence. In reference to my examples of Transitions, they all have one thing in common… MOVEMENT . When I did a search for the word ‘Transition’, it was defined as a Movement, Passage, or Change from One Position to Another . This made me reflect on different transitional moments in my life and how there were times when I had to move even when ...
