Extra, Extra!

So it’s been almost A YEAR since I last blogged and truthfully it took me a while to figure out how to use the damn website again, lol! If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you know a lot has happened within the past year!

I got boo’d up throws confetti in the air!!!

I also finally came into my own and began to embrace life as an empty nester …just as my daughter is about to graduate college. 

Remember No Shopping in 2019?

Changing my spending habits enabled me to buy a house after selling my previous home in 2013 when I could no longer afford it on a PhD student stipend. 

Of all the changes over the past year, the most notable is that I solidified my belief that if I put my mind to something and align my actions I truly can achieve it.

So, why blog again now?

When I initially started blogging, I used it as a means to cope with the stresses of life; being at a standstill in my career, single motherhood, and eventually deciding to trade in my job to be a fulltime graduate student.  It gave me an outlet. Although my life has changed, I still need an outlet.  More importantly, I want to continue to share my journey in hopes that it will help someone else along the way.
