It's Been a Long Time...
Hiii!! *waves excitedly* First off, I did not mean to be gone for so long, if at all. I have draft posts from September and November 2020 that I never finished. To be honest, the pandemic, the loss of my Grandmom in October 2020, and a close family member being sick kicked my entire a**. Thank God for therapy, a supportive and loving husband, and amazing friends. Speaking of husband and friends: Thank you all so much for helping me and encouraging me to get back to this. I kept feeling this creative block and you all continued to support and encourage in such a beautiful and non-pushy way. I love you all.
With that being said, before I start with my usual posts I want to update you all on some things that have been going on, because 2020 was a hot mess but there were also quite a few blessings! I am grateful.

Protecting Your Energy with Boundaries
I was having a conversation with a good friend some time ago about how she and I often attract people who seek advice or want a listening ear. It's a beautiful thing to have others see you as someone you can trust. But, occasionally it can also become draining of our own energy if we are not careful and fail to enforce necessary boundaries. Being someone who *used to be* a people-pleaser, enforcing boundaries with others hasn't always been easy. Especially for those I care deeply about, like close family and friends.

Working on My Fitness, Y'all
Ya know... I have to be honest. Exercise is just something I never really loved. Throughout my life, I have exercised here and there. Never truly consistently and for longer than maybe 6 months at a time. As I have gotten older, though, AND after having a child, I am finding it quite necessary to work out just to feel better physically, keep up with my toddler and my daily tasks, and to be healthier overall and tone up! In the last month, I have been implementing small changes to get myself active again.
