What Are Your Goals for 2025???

 

Good Afternoon Lovies. 

I know in my post earlier today, I said I do not want to hear people telling me their resolution for the new year is this "new year, new me" crap... and I meant it. 

What I'd love to know is what are your GOALS for the coming year? What do you intend to accomplish??

 I don't mean, "I plan on joining the gym and lose a ton of weight" kinda of thing... 

(If that is your "jam", I dig it, but I'm talking about deeper goals)!!!

I had a goal for 2024, actually a few of them; most of which I accomplished. I began the year in a slump, which resulted in an overdose, right in the middle of the first month. Yah, I know... Some of you may be shaking your head, but I have never been one to shy away from speaking my truth. 

After this "shaky" time in my life, and a few medical episodes, I decided I would put my foot down and be more decisive with what I wanted to accomplish for myself, personally. Something that is entirely mine. If that makes sense?!!

I began to write more and more in my blog. I started attending medical appointments I had been avoiding for well over a year, or two. I simply was working on being a better version of myself; and although there has been a lot of personal growth, I know there is a long way to go. 

(One thing I need to make perfectly clear is that, I am not in competition with anyone, I am only in competition with myself, constantly trying to be a better me).

I feel, I learned quite a bit this year. I have walked away with my head held high when it came to situations that were out of my control. I kept my mouth shut when my name was being dragged through the mud.

 You want to know why? PERSONAL GROWTH!!! I KNOW who is behind me, who is beside me and who walks in front of me. I know who is in my tribe; who never question me nor my integrity. 

Let's just say, when I said 2024 was the year of FAFO... 

Those who tried to soil my name??? The truth came out in the most unfortunate ways for them. I do not choose to gloat, nor reveal names, but justice is justice. I am at peace with all that has happened this year ~ the good, the bad, and the ugly. Everything is a teachable moment, if you let it. I will continue to live life with this motto... 

The last thing I want to make crystal, is this...

I am not going to change who I am to make others comfortable. There are things that are embedded in me, as vital to me; and as much a part of me, as the blood in my veins or the oxygen in my lungs. 

When I love... I love hard. If this is a flaw, I will carry it as a badge of honour. 

I am extremely loyal... There are certain people in my life that I would catch a bullet for; and then some!!! Those are scars I have etched in my suit of armor. 

I have a profound respect for certain individuals (one ABOVE all others), that may not make sense to some... which is perfectly fine. It doesn't need to make sense to you... IT'S MY LIFE!!! 

Throughout this year people have shown me time and time again, how I am either too much or too little for them. It's okay; I am not for everyone... I am not meant to be for everyone. I am not here to appease the world. Just remember, it's also, just as okay for Me to toss YOU out with last year's trash.

Peace out!!!

It's a Hide Under the Covers Kinda Day

Page 14 of 365. Good Afternoon Lovies. I really, really hope your day is going better than mine!!! Sorry, woke up at the asscrack of dawn, as I had a doctor's appointment this morning.  Thankfully it was with my family doctor; appointments with him are fairly painless.  Today, however; things kinda went sideways.  I am usually in and out within 10 mins for these appts, but today? I was there for over 45 minutes. Of course, it didn't help that I was puking maroon blood in the office. I know, I don't share a lot of my medical nor really personal stuff on here, but just so you're aware, this has been happening daily since end of May/beginning of June last year. I am what they call an "anemic blood clotter" which I didn't think was possible, but apparently it runs on the paternal side of my family. Anyways, that was the main focus of my visit after that. My stomach medication is being switched AGAIN, this time I am being set up with an antibiotic (which is cra...

FFS I Matter Too!!!

Good evening lovies. I have been struggling with something that is very close to my heart. I truly do not know where to proceed next. I'm going to try and make a very long story as simple as I can... I was adopted at 5months of age, (well apprehended at 5 months, adopted at 5 years). There is something that adoptees yearn for all their lives... WHY?  I know for me there were many questions and on my 19th birthday it appeared I was going to get those answers when I met the woman who birthed me. Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken!!! Years went by, and I allowed this woman to have control over certain things that were weighing heavily on my heart, She held the one piece of the puzzle that felt missing from my heart... who my biological father was?!! I, one day decided that I wasn't going to allow another person have that kind of control over me... EVER!!! I left the situation alone. I struggled deeply. I was literally at war with myself. on this topic. In a way, I felt guilty th...

Tis the Season.... Why I Am Proud of Local Tattoo Shop!!!

  Page 307 of 366. Good Afternoon Lovies. I am not sure how long this blurb is going to be; as it seems to be a topic I have been beating to death this past year. I know it is the time of the year where we switch from Halloween/Samhain into Thanksgiving (in the US) to Yule/Christmas season.  I hate pointing out this fact, but people seem to feel like Christmas time is the only time of the year that they should be charitable...  Is it out of guilt that you are donating, or is it because you genuinely feel you should be helping people??? I AM sort of calling you out because this is NOT the only time of the year that the homeless, or the downtrodden need help. I cannot stand that this is around the only time you will see non-stop commercials/ads or billboards that are asking for help with various charities; also the time we see commercials about driving under the influence. WHY IS THAT??? Driving under the influence is a year-long problem... I will not get into details about...
