The last few years have been heavy for me, like extremely heavy, but that’s another story. Don’t get me wrong, they have also been some of the most wonderful years of my life, but nonetheless, heavy.
In the last three years, I gave birth to my second son, Owen, in May 2017. Then I had my busy 4th of July season at my fireworks store. Two weeks after fireworks season, I started a second business, a group exercise studio. In February of 2018, my husband and I separated. After a very long, tumultuous year, we got divorced in January of 2019. There have been a countless number of ups and downs in between. 
Yesterday, February 22, 2020 was a HUGE day for me! After years of riding this roller coaster, which has been my life, I finally felt like my old self again! I know I will never be the same and I’m ok with that. I’m stronger, wiser and I am unbreakable!!! I also know that you can’t always ride high in life, but yesterday I felt this sense of calm that I haven’t felt in years! It’s true, I felt like the weight had been lifted!
I am starting to prepare for my busy season coming up (the 4th of July is only 133 days away) and I am excited about where I’m at right now and where I’m headed. I worked at my fireworks store yesterday and was genuinely smiling, glowing and dancing around with nothing but joy in my head and my heart….new songs coming soon my Zumba peeps! 😉
I am writing this to anyone who feels like they’re stuck in their own black tunnel right now. Trust the process. Take the time to heal and find yourself. The dust will settle. You will not feel broken forever. Do not give up hope! For a long time now, I’ve just been treading water and going through the motions, but not anymore! I am not looking back. I truly believe that it all happens for a reason and I am SO excited to see what the future holds!❤️
I'm Feelin’ PHAT!
