The New Me

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve posted and for that I am sorry. Life has been busy with moving, an accident and I got married! So much has happened. Let me catch you all up, and then I can reintroduce myself. It’s time to become the new me.

First – An Update

So, first let’s get the update done. I just recently had my wedding! It was a beautiful wedding. Everything went well, even though things didn’t go according to plan. But I handled everything well, I think. My bridesmaids were amazing and helped me brainstorm solutions for problems that arose. Everyone took things in stride and the most disappointing part of the day was that so many people left early to go watch the Bluejays game. Due to this, we had to pay for a night lunch that was never served.

A Financial Hiccup

So, the accident. The week before my wedding I was involved in a car accident. Due to the nature of the accident, I am the one held at fault. However, all drivers involved admitted that they were just as distracted as I was. But, then I discovered that there were some issues with my insurance, so that has caused some complications. And I’m still dealing with them. It’s a bit of a crazy time and now my husband has to taxi me around everywhere. He says he doesn’t mind, but I still want it settled so I can hopefully get a different vehicle.

The New Me – Fitness

One of the things I really want to work on is becoming the type of wife I want to be. Becoming the person I want to be in this new phase of my life. And I want energy for any future children we might have. This means I need to work on my health and fitness. I do have a fitness goal, but I think I’ll keep that a secret. For now anyway. But I’ll most likely share it in the new year. There’s just some buildup that I want to do first to get myself ready to work on that goal.

The New Me – Career

Well, obviously I am not ready to drop the hotel and blog and write novels full time. So, looks like I’m still going to be at the hotel for a while. I know my boss will be happy to hear that. As will my coworkers. But, that doesn’t mean I’m giving up. Starting this week I want to get back onto a schedule for blogging. And I intend to stick to that schedule. I also intend on making myself a writing schedule to work on my novels. As I shared with my husband the other day, I want to write, but the story that my brain wants to work on is not the one I want as my debut novel. Unfortunately, every time I think about working on the second draft, my brain just shuts down.

Another Boost….Maybe

Those of you who have been following me for a while know that I used to be an Arbonne consultant. I quit because I couldn’t afford to renew my consult license. However, after speaking with my husband about this, I will be renewing in January. Now, do I expect to make a lot of money from Arbonne? No. Then why try? Because I genuinely love and miss the products. I miss the coffee protein powder, and my energy fizz and the other things that I used to get. Some people I have told that I’ll be picking it up again were excited because they want some stuff as well but don’t have a consultant. The possibility is there to make a bit. Plus, the hotel does a summer market where they take vendors who are not just artisans. So maybe I’ll get a table there.

A New Me Overall

There are many aspects that I want to change, or improve about myself. Most of them are things that I have been trying to improve for a while now. Obviously I want to get out of debt. I want to be healthy, so cooking more meals and working on my fitness will always be a goal of mine. My reading sucked this year, so I want to read more books next year. And I want to make headway on my novels so I really want to work on a schedule for that. It won’t happen overnight. It’s not like I got married and now I’m this whole new person. No; this will take time and effort. I will fail at times, but then I need to learn to get back up and try again. But we all know that anything can happen, if I try.
