Insert your eye-rolling emoji here (just kidding). But really, I haven’t wrote in this blog since last May, and many of my attitudes and mindsets have changed since this lockdown/quarantine due to the Pandemic. I mean, I think everyone in one way or another has changed during this past year. Teaching from home and paying attention to my children’s schooling in the process, with a few COVID scares here and there, has been… interesting. Let me just say a few things that has changed since the last time I wrote:

• I’ve officially quit my MLM company – I think it was one of the best choices I’ve made. Later on, I will write of the specific benefits behind the move, but basically I am less stressed than before.
• I am almost finished in paying off my first credit card debt! Maybe its not a huge milestone for anyone I know, but for me, I am finally am seeing progress in my debt-free journey.
• I have a new side-hustle! And its not “pushing products” on anyone. Actually its giving one-on-one tutoring sessions and I am feeling useful! I know that there is many people who would consider another type of generating income, and I agree, but I am testing the waters. It is a way for me to trust my talents as a teacher, mentoring different people, and giving myself the opportunity to feel good about myself.
• I have officially gone down the YouTube rabbit hole a few times. More than just for entertainment, but as a learning tool. I have recently binged on the minimalist theme, which has gotten me to declutter, not only my things, but also my husband and my children’s excesses. I have been just donating and recycling clothes and taking trash bags of useless clutter out the door. I’ve saved some things in good condition so I can try to do a “Lobby sale”, but I’ll let you know if that works.
• And last, but certainly not least, I am slowly improving my mental health, even if I am busy and on occasions stressed. I haven’t had my medications since December, and in my follow-up session with my psychologist, he found me upbeat and stable. So, maybe I needed to slowly let go on those habits that didn’t bring me the joy I strived for. I am clearly a work in progress, and I acknowledge it completely.

So, on the day after Valentine’s day, I am seeing a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. I appreciate every single one of you who has taken the time to read what I write, and I am grateful that my ideas has transitioned to many people around the world. I never thought that expressing your thoughts on a platform can transcend and be relatable to others.

And yes, this blogger isn’t dead, and there is more to write about for sure! (Insert wink emoji here, lol!)
