Where have I been? Good question!

Tanner and I are beginning to settle into Phoenix. I have yet to wake up and say, “What the hell have I done?!” Which, that tells me I made the right decision for us. Tanner goes to daycare two times a week now (Tuesday’s and Thursday’s). I use those days to get everything done…from sending out resumes, meeting with old contacts, interviewing, taking long naps and even shaving my legs! Yeah, sad, I know…but Tuesday’s and Thursday’s allow me to spend the necessary time I need to take care of me. As much as I love Tman and adore being with him I equally enjoy our time apart. It makes for a very happy reunion when I pick him up from daycare!

    Advice I got from a Mother of 3 that I keep in the back of my head: "Oxygen mask, if you were going down in a plane, you need to put yours on before you baby's so that you can take care of them" Happy you are taking 2 oxygen days! Still have no idea how you do it solo! I think you are amazing!

It's Just Hair! Day 1

To kickoff the 30 Days and 30 New Ways , I decided to GO BIG or GO HOME! This challenge is designed to evoke inspiration and motivation. Try something new every chance you can. It can be as big as a new haircut or as small as changing up your coffee order. I am still hoarding ideas  and looking for any of you to join me on this journey. Remember, magic happens outside your comfort zone. Ok; enough waiting.  Courtney at Rolf's salon gave me this new do! Here are the inspiration photos that I showed to her and then I said, "go for it!" #30days30newways #ReAwaken

Three years in the making and WOW, what a great success. ReAwaken has brought women together, helped women regain their confidence and self-esteem and provided women with valuable resources and knowledge nuggets on many helpful topics.  Since day one, we have always said that " we believe in abundance and frown on competition ." We have also said that professional, educated women are not underprivileged but under-served.   Today, we are excited to share with you the new phase of our business growth that will allow us to operate with the financial strength of an existing nonprofit while staying true to our mission.  Fresh Start Women's Foundation  has expressed great interest in our programming and ReAwaken's president and founder, Jarrett Ransom has accepted a Development Director position at Fresh Start.

Defeat. Weakness. Tears. Loneliness.

I struggle constantly with what to do about Tanner’s dad, Kirt. Every day I struggle because I do not currently know how to be without him. Deep down, I know he is not this mythical “ONE” that every one speaks of. Deep down I know that there is someone better out there for me. However, there are days (long days) when I question if the ONE exists for me. There is more to this struggle. There are patterns that need to be broken. Confidence needs to be found. Self-love needs to be unveiled. If any of you reading this has any suggestions, especially from first-hand experience, I would love to hear from you. *Regardless of Kirt's role in Tanner's life, I need to move beyond him and unmesh my emotions from his actions.
