I have many things on my plate. Which sometimes equates to feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.

And I continue to get up so I can keep going.

This is how I was feeling just a couple of hours ago. I didn't stay stuck there.

Have you ever felt the weight of constantly being on high alert? 🌟

Check out my latest blog post where I explore the concept of Hypervigilance.

Sometimes, understanding is the first step to finding peace. Read more here:

I posted another story on my website, "Growing Alone!" I am so excited for you to read it because I wrote it during a scary time for me. I hope I can share some more soon.

It's a quick read, but I hope you get a chance to check out the link below. I personally like the shorter reads because I can lose focus quickly.

I was reminded this week (Thanks to all that the New Year brings) of what it is like to release some of those things we get stuck on hanging onto.

I think I could have gone more in-depth with this one, but I hope you still enjoy this brief description of what this time of year brings for me. ❤

This life is rarely lived in a linear fashion, and so I want to tell you what happened.

My posts are meant to be launched every other week at the same time. That did not happen for my third story.

Last year, I was diagnosed with PTSD, although one of my favourite people stated that I have a great deal of C-PTSD symptoms (and she is trained to know). This past year, I spent a great deal of time dissociating from my experiences.

What this means is that I experience a "disconnection between my thoughts, memories, feelings, actions or sense of who I am."

Often times, I find myself trying to turn off my brain by watching T.V. (although I am happy to say this is shifting).

This week, if I wasn't doing the plethora of things that coincide with holiday festivities, then you could find me binge-watching something (specifically Emily in Paris on Netflix).

So, my sleep patterns were so off, that when I awoke yesterday to do some editing and submitting, I was so grumpy that every noise and chatter made me angry.

This is not my normal personality, which triggered my emotions further, making it difficult for me to focus enough to publish.

I went and spent some much needed time with friends (and a few strangers) thinking this would help me, but still I found myself feeling way off.

Reset.

Today was a new day filled with another much needed friendship time with someone who has become one of my favourite people on the planet, and we laughed so hard I almost peed my pants, tears were strolling down my face, and I my stomach hurt from it all.

Reset.

My friend and I have, for the past few years, either met in person or online to build and create our vision boards, and set goals for the next year. We talked so much and laughed so hard that we could not get it all done, and now have dates set for the following week to work on it further. I can't wait!

Reset.

My third post has been released! Please click and follow the link below to read what I had to share. I hope you can stick around for more...and I will be working on posting more frequently in 2025!

Happy New Year from me and Growing Alone. ❤

I finally pushed the button!

growingalone.com is finally published!

I launched her this morning!

Please like, share and follow for updates. And you can read my first post at growingalone.com

Follow this link: https://www.growingalone.com/post/leaving

I hope you like it, but if you don't, that's okay too.

Please be patient as I learn how to change all the things on this website to make it my own. I have no freaking clue what I'm doing...but I no longer wanted to live from a place of fear.

😍❤️

Nature’s Elements Wellness.

Run.

Do not walk. It would take you forever.

This is the place I chose to celebrate.

My life.

Who I was.

Who I am.

And who I want to be.

And I celebrated with the best people. With the best weather. And best of fun. So many laughs and memories for the bank. ❤️

It was an incredible place to be! And I nailed the cold plunge! 2 minutes and 3 seconds on my first try. 😍🔥

I know what I have had to overcome.

I know my experience.

I know where I’m going and I know how to get there. So leave your judgement at the door. It’s not welcome here. 💪🏻🔥❤️
