Just as each new day gives us a chance to start fresh, each new season does too.

While I have been a bit absent from writing/posting, I have not been gone. Things are still moving forward and upward.

I’ve learned that if you don’t take time for yourself and make changes and choices to make things in your life different, they’ll always be the same, only on a different day.

Seeing who you are through the eyes and opinions of others gives you a false view of who you truly are. It causes insecurity. It holds you back.

I’ve been taking time recently to know myself as who I am rather than who others think (and thought) I am. I revelated on how I believed what others told me about myself. In doing so, it was revealed to me that each description they gave me was their measurement of me. If I was too sensitive, I didn’t fit their need to insult, if I was useless, I wasn’t giving them what they expected from me, and so on. Each of the eight most used insults toward me had one thing in common; it was their measurement of me. Today, I feel freed from those hooks. Check out this link. Things that are in the past are well, past – there’s no need to keep looking for them.  Isaiah 43:18-19, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 

Now an update on my hair-loss situation. I’ve been on Olumiant for six-months now and hair is still growing in. The new hair is fine and white as snow and I don’t mind. All the bald spots are not grown in fully yet, but the nickel and quarter sized spots have all been filled. Slowly and surely, the ophiasis area (over the ears and around below the occiput) is growing in but it has not fully recovered yet. My hope is to eventually go off the medication while keeping all of the hair; and if I must stay on it to keep hair, I pray there are no ill side-effects from it.

Our bodies react strongly to stress, change, environment, diet, emotional health, anxiety and so much more. You can help keep it as balanced as possible when you recognize the things that cause you to be on guard and off-kilter and make necessary changes to feel your best. If you need to get back to you and you’d like guidance along the way, reach out to me Dawn END Coach.

Until next time, enjoy some sunshine and take time outs when needed.
