It's 2017

My first post of the year. It has to be a good one! Something to motivate others and inspire them or maybe just an update of my life and where I am mentally. I do not know where to start.

After leaving this in draft for about a month- I finally decided to share my goals for 2017. I am in the midst this weekend of constructing my 2017 vision board. I am very satisfied with the progress I made on my 2016 vision board. Buying a bike, saving money, Grand Canyon, registering for my very first mission trip, 4.0 in grad school and of course finding love again.

My initial reason for this blog was supposed to simply be my travel journal and it turned into my vent stage about relationships, morphed into my online therapy sessions and minor praise breaks. I am not quite sure what 2017 holds or what goals I am aspiring to for lots going on family wise but I am in a state of peace. IDK- we will see.

Well I never wrote about my perspective of trying to rebound date. Let us just say it was horrible. I truly do not recommend trying to rebound date, while being celibate and on the tail ends of a heartbreak... Nothing good comes from Nazareth right? HA.. ok. Basically as I sat here thinking back to that time period I was sooo negative. Negative Nancy welcome to the party. These guys were showing genuine interest in me an

The importance of boundaries

As I sit here in DFW international airport reading "Don't Settle For Safe" by Sarah Jakes Roberts, I am compelled to write on the importance of setting boundaries. Boundaries keep us safe. Safety is a primary foundational component of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Basically, we need boundaries at our core in order to survive. Relationships are one of the hardest areas of our lives to create and maintain boundaries. Why is this? Our need for acceptance tugs at our inner being to disregard the natural boundaries that our conscience created for us. Whatever it may be- friends, significant others, parents or siblings we want to be accepted. But at what cost do we pursue acceptance? As I have grown and matured in all things called life, I realized that I had created boundaries that were too loose as well as disregarded others all together. I had to realign myself to think in terms of boundaries when approaching any situation. Here are a few of the questions I asked myse
