You know the jingle. Today though I felt pretty. This doesn’t happen a lot but I’m working on self acceptance. So, I lived in the moment and felt good about me. It’s a nice feeling. It’s growth.

She Completed What?
Year One of college is in the books. Okay, not until Monday when I take my final quiz for the Political Science class I can’t wait to put behind me. Still, I’ve received all A’s and B’s this past year and accomplished more than I thought I could.
I’m so grateful, so grateful that I’m doing this for me. In my past life I did for everyone BUT me. I put my ex through school because if he completed school we’d be okay, I over volunteered because if I wasn’t busy I wasn’t accomplishing anything, and I overworked because I felt if I looked successful I would be accepted more by my father and that I then would have escaped my lower middle class upbringing. So as you can see in my past life I was doing for everyone BUT me and now I’m doing this all for ME.
I’m doing this for myself and for my children. I want my two kids to know that you can start over at any time and that it’s OK to not be OK sometimes. It’s okay to grow gracefully and sometimes not so gracefully but in the end you are bettering yourself.
This past year financially has been very hard, I won’t lie but I know the payoff, when I’m done with school I will be financially secure again. I was at one point financially secure but I was working a job I felt I couldn’t leave and I was not in a happy marriage. Now I’m bettering me and it’s hard sometimes. It’s hard wondering if I’ll have all my bills paid, it’s hard to say no to my son when he wants new toys or wants to see a movie but I’ve also found that my children know I’m working hard for them. I’m a good mother, I really believe this.
So, today, this post isn’t about weight but it’s about the good. The good that comes from taking care of myself and I’m enjoying the process.
Until next time…be good to you.
What will become of my blog….
I’m Kat and reality is that I don’t know what to do with my blog. A blog I pay for. Did you know once upon a time it served a purpose? It helped others with PCOS and had a following of Gluten Free and Vegan eaters who enjoyed my recipes. I was “Once Upon a Time” a great baker. Okay, I still am to a point.
I’ve tried starting my blog over again many times. I won’t go into detail about why I stopped blogging, but maybe one day it will serve a purpose to my blog and be seen. I’m thinking that if I just blog as I see fit, if I let this happen organically then maybe I will find my passion again.
I wonder if anyone else has gotten through a rough patch and found their blogging purpose? I’m curious a year from now where this blogging journey will take moi.
