Welcome

This is the story of me. I want to share where I’ve been and where I’m headed because maybe, just maybe, it will resonate with someone out there. Living life can be so hard and trying to figure out all the right moves, navigate jobs and getting along with family is a lot for all of us.

I am a wife, mother to an almost 7 year old girl and corporate sales executive. To say my life is busy is an understatement. There are many days I don’t even know how I fit everything in. Besides work I am finishing my Executive MBA in June and I am the President of my HOA board, you can say I’m a glutton for punishment.

About 3.5 years ago I also realized that I was drinking A LOT. My everyday glass of wine had turned into 1-2 bottles and my drinking often started at lunch and went into the evening. I had a small child at the time and a job where my boss had it out for me. In November of 2018 I realized that if I wanted to go anywhere I needed to work on my drinking. I have spent these last few years cutting down my frequency of drinking and quantity of alcohol. I have an ultimate goal of kicking alcohol forever but it’s been a journey.

Through this journey I have spent time working on meditation, managing my sometimes crippling anxiety without alcohol, and looking at my general overall wellbeing. I have learned that perfection doesn’t exist so I always strive to be better. Some days it works, some days it doesn’t. I’m hoping that by sharing my story here it might help me on my journey and maybe help someone else along the way.

I hope you can follow my ramblings and enjoy taking a look at my photography that I’m starting to get into. I will be growing my health and wellness section as I look at happiness, balance and how I plan to live the second half of my life better, 44 never looked so promising!

Welcome to my wild ride of ups and downs, wins and losses and overall openness!

Much Love!
