LIFE UPDATE + SOCIAL DISTANCING

In general, life has been amazing. I’ve had a lot of sharp ups and downs in the past two months, but it’s been everything I've asked for. I truly see the power of manifestation. My life is completely different than it was last year, because I took the steps and faced things I once feared to get here. I am finally settled into my new place and loving it. Moving from Oklahoma City to Dallas was one of the most challenging experiences I’ve ever had. Things are settling in and I’m getting an idea of what my new life looks like.

Teaching is becoming easier and easier as the weeks go by, and I almost know all of my students names by heart. My relationship with a lot of my students has flourished and I have begun to receive true appreciation from them. I will admit, teaching is way harder than I thought it would be. Its been a long time since I’ve done something challenging, so this is sometimes scary. I am the type of person who mainly goes after things I know I can do well, but being a teacher is forcing me to see where I fall short. Everyday, I have to work harder at becoming more of an example and professional.

Creating a home that feels like a sanctuary has also been challenging because I’ve had to take my time. I am deeply affected by my environment so its been hard here lately, as I save and budget for furnishing. I finally am starting to get the pieces I want, and create a home for myself. Lately, I just look around and feel so thankful to have moved somewhere this beautiful. I have a bigger kitchen than the last place, I have wood floors which was really important to me. I have lots of natural lighting and am in a pretty cool neighborhood.

Emotionally and spiritually I am strong. I’ve had to sacrifice a lot and operate quicker than I’m used to. I am well aware of what needs to be done for me to reach my highest potential, so everyday is a continuous climb to that. This chapter is mainly about alignment and organizing. My emotions are in check when my life is in check. I’ve gotten so much better with spoiling myself a little. I’ve been getting myself things here and there without feeling guilty for it. I no longer feel such big guilt when I treat myself to things I know I earned/deserve. Taking responsibility for my own happiness has been the best thing I’ve ever done.

The pandemic that is “Corona Virus” has been pretty surreal. It has given me time to slow down and organize, appreciate and center myself. I can only hope that this virus passes over without harming many more people and that they find a cure. I am doing my part by social distancing. We’ve been staying in the house, only leaving to go to the store for things we need. In general, we are home bodies, so we aren’t stir crazy yet. This time is being used so wisely. I’ve been able to catch up on my Refinery 29, Sweet Digs Youtube videos. I’ve been able to catch all the way up on my laundry. I’ve moved the furniture around a few times. I’ve cleaned my home from top to bottom multiple times. As you can see, I’m making time for LADYFOX and writing in general.

In a nutshell- life is good, but a commitment to doing the work. How are you guys doing in this moment ?
