The other day someone said to me look at all that happened this past month. A month ago, did you think you would have experienced and accomplished all that you did? You cannot underestimate the good things one person can bring to your life, even if you do not get what your heart desires. Sometimes people serve as a catalyst for wonderful things to come. I became committed to living a healthier lifestyle. I joined the gym and hired a trainer. Oddly enough when something in my day does not go right, I crave the gym.  I have not worked out in 10 years!! The trainer is more insurance for me. Aside from holding me accountable, I am hoping having a trainer will avoid me from hurting myself because I do not know what I am doing lol.

                Aside from the confidence, I had a summer of no regrets where a situation is concerned and spoke my truth. In my last long-term relationship, my self-esteem plummeted, and I went into hibernation. That was my way of healing. In looking back, I honestly do not know how I made it through that. It was an exceptionally lengthy process.

                Today I am more confident in asserting myself in what I deserve. I spoke my truth even though I might have shown my vulnerability. I can honestly say I do not feel embarrassed. My situation may never work in my favor, but I am ok with that, for if I accepted the alternative, it may have crushed my soul and put me back into hibernation.

                I was talking to someone and referred to myself as a free bird. Free to roam wherever I want with whomever. My friend said to me “Free bird, you need a branch that is all yours to rest on. Some trees do not have branches.”  So, with that, this free bird will continue to fly in search of branch to call my own.
