Self-Care

Hi Sunshine!

Long time no see- life has surely gotten ahead of me. I have been debating coming back over here and writing a blog for a few months. So many things I want to say, but also, not entirely sure what to say at the same time. Have you ever been there?

So much has happened since I last posted. My two amazing roommates (and two kitty roommates) and I moved out of the townhouse- and I subsequently moved into my first ever apartment. Then, I had fun summer visitors from some of my favorite people. I was in a fun, short-lived ‘situationship’. But given it was a ‘situationship’… it ended… and I got covid as a consolation prize(literally in the same day…). Then, I got REALLY sad. And now… after literal MONTHS of self care, working on my self-concept, dabbling in manifestation, and just listening to my gut…I feel like I’m finally getting back to the version of myself that I liked the most. 🙂

To be honest… things look different than I envisioned them to look by now.

But that’s okay.

If you asked bright-eyed, bushy tailed, 18 year old Shawna what her life would look like at 29… she would tell you she would be married to the love of her life/her best friend; and together they would be the parents of three beautiful babies. (LOL). She probably would cry knowing that she, in fact, did not have three babies before 30. And, even better, was NOT in a relationship with her best friend.

However… I’d like to think she’d be even happier to know that she came out on top of all the things that she thought would kill her. That she, despite knowing all the things she ever wanted laid out in front of her, was strong enough to walk away and realize she does not have to settle for anything less than she deserves. That she’s a great dog mom to the sweetest (albeit crazy at times) pup. And that she knows exactly what she wants out of her life- it looks different than she envisioned it… but it’s still good.

All this to say. I’d like to get on here more. I’ve realized I like writing. I like connecting with people. And I want to help others be the best version of themselves. I surely hope you’d like to come along for the journey. Let me know what things you’d like to read about, any ideas you have for the way this blog could go, and how you think we can best connect with one another.

I’m so glad to have you here with me on my journey.
