Old Year Review and New Year Renewal
Happy New Year! This is one of my favorite days of the year. To me, like many others, I make it about a time of reviewing my life for the past year and renewing myself. I evaluate where I was, what I liked, what I accomplished, what I did not, how I changed and so on. This last year was amazing in so many ways. I was accomplishing my goals, I was on a path where I was happy and wanted to be. I had success with my clients, with my girls, I was in the shape that I wanted to be, I was eating mostly organics and working out at least 5 days a week, I was able to go away to Myrtle Beach for two months for vacation, I was in a small band, I was almost finished writing my novel. I was happy and I had lots going on that was positive.Then, I was sexually assaulted by a cop and it took it all away. My world crashed. That was only 4 months ago. I am for the first time in my life unable to meet all my bills, because I was not able to focus on my clients, therefore could not work for a few months, the band is gone, I stopped writing my novel. I dont have the freedom, I did before. So much has happened and change at the end of the last year. So that was my review. Now, to my renewal. Even though that happened to me crumbled my world for a few months, it made me see my goals more clearly. It made me realize that I was not on the path that I really want to be on. I always wanted to help people who were sexually abused and to show people that they can be happy inside despite whatever they are going through. This situation that tore apart my world is putting me back on that path. So, I was broken for a while and honestly, still struggle with what happened. But, this New Year I will be renewed and stronger. I will continue to enhance this website. I am doing my best to do what I can for others. I have a newsletter coming out for my town, beginning on January 14th, that promotes kindness and community, as well as offers some fun stuff too. I will be starting a new website for sexual abuse awareness, as well as start talking with others about this matter. I will be out there helping others because I know how hard certain situations are and I never had the help to get through them. I want to give them something I never had. I want to do what I think needs to be done.
