I started this blog because I needed to get out of my head. The year 2024 began in November 2023 when we received a non-renewal letter from our rental management company. Like most corporate-owned rentals, they want to increase the rent and must comply with laws governing rental increases. Therefore, what better way to get more money than to not renew the people who have been living in the home for 3 years. My family had to move by mid-February, and we haven’t even started to look. Bringing in the new year with a stressful situation became a domino effect. Once we moved into our new rental property on the 1st of February, my son almost died from choking the third week, and in the fourth week, my mom was hospitalized four months due to an aneurysm. We hadn’t even finished unpacking.
Once I thought I had found balance, my son had his first seizure on Mother’s Day. It wasn’t all gloom and doom, but it was at the time. My personal life, along with my progressing work life, was collapsing, and writing was my only outlet. It helped me maintain a positive mindset and apply my wellness coaching techniques to myself. I allowed my friends to review it to see if it was good enough to bring to the World Wide Web, and they gave it their seal of approval. I hope you can find some commonality in my writing that shows you’re not alone in experiencing life and its many lessons.
