What's Missing?

It's almost December.
Another year has flown right on by.
And here I am.

I have a job.
I have PLENTY of clothes to wear.
I have plenty of food (Lord knows I do).
I have a job I can tolerate and pays the bills.
And a side job (thanks to that ZIN license)... that I'm forever grateful for.

But I can't help but feel like something is missing.

I'm working on this whole Personal Legend thing.
While that's in the works, it's a process.
That's just not something that's going to happen overnight.
And right now, I have writer's block, so that's on hold.

What's missing?
I'm not 100% sure.
I thought it was a relationship or a family or something...
But let's be honest.
We probably all know those are not things I was made for.

I've got some new frog stories to tell.
I figure I'll end the blog this year with some jokes.

And as for the rest...  I guess the new year will fill in the blanks.
Stay tuned....

Obligation

At the end of every calendar year, I tend to look back and reflect on the lessons I've learned and my plans for the future.  This morning, I realized that there wasn't much of anything new I've learned except the concept of "obligation."

It's the latest theme I've run across in the past couple of months.   An "obligation" as defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as an act or course of action to which a person is morally or legally bound.  It is also known as a duty or commitment. 
In thinking about the lessons I've learned, I always look back and think about my mother's life and how themes affected her and in turn have affected me throughout the years.  Obligation was a huge theme in every step of the way.  My mother was abused in all ways as a child and teenager and even as an adult.  She was taken advantage of and used.  And everything that happened to her, only made her stronger.  Yet, she never held a grudge against ANYONE, inclu…

An Unhealthy Injury

Most of my loyal readers (who I absolutely love && appreciate) know me personally.
They know that I've spent the last couple of months working on me - my overall health and fitness - both mental and physical.

It's been a long and difficult journey and only gets harder as the days go by and I hit plateau after plateau. 



I've learned that once I hit a bump, I need to just vary what I'm doing until that doesn't work and then it's on to the next thing... and so on and so on....blah blah blah....

About two weeks ago, I told my "support" group that it was about that time that I had to switch it up and try something different.  And so I did.  I decided to change my eating habits (again) because I'm dead set on losing 17 lbs by the end of the year. 



I went ahead and started adding limes and cucumbers to my water and I started the art of juicing.  I changed what I eat in the mornings and what I eat in the evenings and in a week, I was already seei…

Unexpectedly

Image
I firmly believe that the very best things in life come unexpectedly.



Let's explore my theory.
I spent almost an entire year in search of a better job opportunity.
In the midst, I went through a random breakup and had one hell of a living situation that I am very glad to be out of and so is my poor spine. 

In mid January, I decided (with the help of my sister and a goat I once knew) to let go of a rental home I had in Pennsylvania because it was serving me no purpose but an additional bill. 
Thankfully, Omar was generous enough to allow me to continue to crash with her while I figured my life out and prioritized what was most important.



I decided to focus on getting a job that not only honored my Master's degree but also gave me a bit of freedom and flexibility to grow both personally and professionally.
After a disappointing let down to a job I was almost sure I attained, out of the woodworks, I had an interview and received a job offer for the exact thing I needed at t…
