Surviving difficulty inspires major change.

Well it's been awhile since I've tried to blog, but here we go again. If there's one thing we can always depend on it is CHANGE! For me the past 5 years I've seen a lot of change!!! My name changed, my location changed, my priorities changed and some things went away including my former blog. I had archived some posts but can't find them now so lets just consider this a fresh start.

 

 Life changed for almost everyone in 2020. Covid crippled my business and was very hard for me mentally. I'm grateful I have made it though mostly unscathed. It showed me I'm stronger than I knew. The down time gave me valuable time to look at my life and adjust things to head more in the direction of being a life I love.

 

 

 I felt called to help other small businesses as we were coming out of the pandemic so I volunteered as the Executive Director of the Uzona Chamber of Commerce. I put my own businesses on the back burner and poured myself, heart and soul into building the local Chamber of Coomerce. After 2 years focusing on them I realized that my efforts were not valued by the people I dealt with daily, the chamber board. It stung... but I realized no one has time to waste in this life so I left that position and re-adjusted to focus on re-building my business and fueling my own creative fire.

 

I went skydiving which was exhilarating! I drove a Lamborghini around a race track as fast as I dared to. I rode a Harley and have crossed off a bunch of states and National Parks from my list.

For several of my bucket list items I needed to be able to scuba dive so I learned. For me it was a big a challenge because the equipment makes me feel claustrophobic! This past spring, at the age of 53, my lifetime dream of scuba diving in the Caribbean finally came true. I also crossed a few more items off my list as I visited mayan ruins and swam in a cenote on that same trip.
