Life Update

Well, I committed to start writing in the blog again this year and I’ve failed miserably. I started working full time, like for real for real full time. It’s been an adjustment trying to navigate the single mom life, full time work life and getting kids alllllll the millions of places they need to go. I’m slowly figuring it out but keyword….slow. I get to work from home all the time and I genuinely love my job. I’ve been so blessed to have the best bosses, the greatest coworkers and I love what I do. I really am so thankful.

I have also been trying to figure out how to navigate a friend going through a very serious cancer diagnosis. Lindsay is truly one of those people who brings a smile to everyone’s face. She’s just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. She’s my single mom encourager. I honestly can’t say enough about how incredible this woman is and I just can’t even understand why this is happening to her. She’s gotten bad news after bad news and I still cannot even believe the composure she’s handled it all with. There’s no doubt this woman is changing lives all over the place, she’s 10000% changed mine. If you have a minute and could say a prayer for her she sure needs it.

I’ve not been doing great with taking time for myself. It’s pretty much been work or kids and that’s about it. I finally took a little bit yesterday and went back to Contour Club to see my favorite person, Michelle. We were talking about how she started with just one room almost 3 years ago and now she’s in a full space all by herself with multiple treatment rooms. She’s worked her butt off and it makes me so very happy to see good things come to someone who so deserves it. Ok, so what I did yesterday was so cool. I went in a SALT BED. So, you lay on this warm jade stone mat and its enclosed like a tanning bed and medical grade salt is pumped into the air in the enclosed space. It was wild. It’s crazy because it didn’t smell or taste like salt but if you lick your lips it tastes like the ocean, ha! I also went into the POD, the one that steamy. It was lovely. I’m going to talk more about this on stories but I’ve been working with Michelle for 3 years and she’s seriously the best. Oh, she also has the coolest new machine that measures all these different spots on your body WITH A CAMERA. It’s wild.

I’m still VERY single. Everyone always wants to know about my love life and I wish there was something to report, ha! I pretty much gave up on the online dating thing. I know I should probably give it more of a chance but it kind of freaks me out. I’d say 95% of the guys on there and super odd anyways. I’m just waiting for Prince Charming to fall from the sky and sweep me off my feet.

This is all so random and I don’t know why I’m even writing this but I kind of just needed to say I’m ok. I used to go on stories and talk to everyone all the time and I just haven’t had a single second to do it. I miss talking to my Instagram friends, haha! Thanks for continuing to be supportive, I’ll get the work/life/blog balance figured out one of these days.
