First off, my apologies if you follow my blog! I felt a little guilty neglecting it, but I added bits and pieces along the way, until I was ready to share. I’ve been off social media as well, but I did hop on months ago to share that I had a health scare, which was not easy to share. It’ been a full year since I started this blog, and I promised myself that I would complete it and post, once I was settled at my new space. I was recuperating, after my fall in July of 2022, and allowing myself to heal and reflect. It took a year for me to come full circle, and my new surroundings have contributed to that. I feel refreshed and renewed, actually enjoying writing and finally completing this blog series. The lessons that have come with this have helped me to better understand myself, and my place in the world, which I will be sharing.
Creativity can be difficult to tap into, when your health is not up to par, well for me at least. I felt as though I was battling myself, pushing myself as I was running on empty, kind of like a car running on an almost empty gas tank, hoping not to break down, and make it to the desired destination. As my energy had been lower than it’s EVER been, I wasn’t able to bounce back after a good nights sleep, as usual. This was different, and I felt symptoms, but I felt I was bigger than my body and would overcome it. It started to affect my progress, reaching my goals, moving forward, and work. My body felt as though it was running on empty, and I didn’t stop to see why, just continued to push, and push, until I was forced to stop. Health always comes first and I was not aware of how much my frame was suffering, considering I am health conscious. I felt as though I had failed myself, and felt guilty for feeling weak, and finally having to apply instructions to take it easy, and slow down, was half the battle.
I’m blessed to be alive, and I do not take a day for granted, however…I truly felt at peace when I faded to black on that day. The beautiful part was, I woke up to a renewed faith in humanity, and THAT was unexpected.
Please stay tuned for PT 2!
Take Care, Stay safe, and Stay tuned.
