I know it’s been awhile but life keeps you busy. I have been working on several things this year but I want to talk about this book before I start.
Just the name of this book give me strength to keep moving through my life. This is a book written by a friend’s sister. She has to be one the most courageous people to write about her life and how she made it through. It’s a kind of road map through struggles and how to forgive things that were difficult. I won’t spoil it for you. Click on the link to check it out for yourself. Ethelgoodrich.com
Now let’s get back to my update. I have been working on loosing weight. I have also been working on keeping my business legitimate. Finally, working on relationships that I want or don’t want in my life. There are a couple of other things like sewing, art, and advocacy, but I will talk about that another time.
My weight loss journey has been slow. I have been taking one of those shots but I struggle with proper diet and exercise. Apparently, some of the side effects is loss of appetite, muscle loss, and fatigue. So I am trying to build myself up with walking and I am attempting to consume more protein. This is hard with no energy to exercise and no desire to eat. I have lost 25 lbs. I want to loose another 40lbs. I started at the end of June last year but I am not down enough. I know more movement will help. So for it’s an uphill struggle.
As for my business I hired an assistant. They work once a week doing odd jobs for me. I want to give them more to do like helping me clean. I have also been working on keeping my books up to date which is really hard. Trying to be a bookkeeper, the operations person, and the marketing team, turns out to be exhausting. You have to consider that I also manufacture the majority of my items. This means that I am also the productions manager too, lol.
Finally, lets talk about relationships. I went a lovely retreat in Florissant, CO and have an amazing time. I took a workshop with Ebony on relationships and it explained that I should think more deeply on how valuable they are. For example, toxic relationship should be neutralized so that I am freed to spend more time on myself and not negative emotions. I have other relationships that are not mutually beneficial. I should be receiving a good amount from them.
So to conclude this update, I have been busy. I will try to post some of my interactions with these things below. I hope that I can keep up with all these things and keep growing as the person that I want to be. Love you guys!
