Here’s to new beginnings…

As we are heading into the first full week of December, I can’t help but find myself in a very reflective state. It’s no secret, I have been away from social media for the last 6+ months. Without warning, I literally stopped logging on. I thought that I would shake ” this feeling” in a few days. Days turned into weeks and weeks quickly turned into months. I just didn’t want to interact with the world in such a public way.

So much was happening in my life and at the time I hadn’t figured out how to navigate through it all:

• New Home: Tons of things to learn and keep up with. I’ve been learning about the neighborhood and meeting the neighbors. Enjoying many DIY projects and pacing myself with decorating.
• Work: New position, new manager, new team.
• Family: I have been away from my parents for over 6 years, so I have been spending intentional time with them. I hosted the family Thanksgiving dinner for the first time.
• Wellness: I have lost weight… and I have gained it all back. Found new recipes that I now enjoy regularly. Purchased new plants and yielded veggies from my garden. Starting to run again and completed my first half marathon on Thanksgiving! I started to revisit previous hobbies and I did a little bit of traveling this year.

“The Outcome Is Worth The Investment”

Christina Robinson

I’ve enjoyed a lot of time of quiet time (sitting on the couch and looking out of the window), I’ve cried a lot, and laughed a lot!

If this journey has taught me anything; I have learned that it is so important to take the time needed for you to find your balance. It could be a few hours or a few months, but the outcome is worth the investment. Do what is necessary to be a healthier and happier person.

As we are winding down the year, I want each of you to remember to extend grace to yourself. Take the time away from things, from people, or from memories that are not fueling you to make the progress that you desire. I’m looking forward to my personal growth and I rooting for yours as well! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

From me,

Chrissy
