Beach, Lax, Friends and not enough Sunscreen

Beach, Lax, Friends and not enough Sunscreen

We had another jam packed weekend. Beach on Saturday with friends, Lax coaching and Ella’s playing Goalkeeper, church, chores, gym twice this weekend, laundry, mommy’s office re-org, cooking, more laundry. Back to the grind tomorrow after so much family fun. Sometimes having so much going on makes the weekend seem so short. I had some … Continue reading Beach, Lax, Friends and not enough Sunscreen

SGs mental health day

I have been neglecting Seascape for some time, and need to change that. Just an update on life in general, it is exciting, grueling at times, work is incredibly time consuming, extracurricular activities for the kids is in full swing for the spring. Frankly, I am a little over done. So today, I scheduled a … Continue reading SGs mental health day

The last day at NAMI Jax Office, a bittersweet goodbye.

The last day at NAMI Jax Office, a bittersweet goodbye.

Today was a turning point in my current life, when I left NAMI Jacksonville as Program Director. I was nervous for the week to conclude, and hoping for the best with new horizons ahead of me. Trepidatiously I walked myself downtown to work early this morning. My last time walking into that beautiful building of … Continue reading The last day at NAMI Jax Office, a bittersweet goodbye.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Self- worth, self-love, and self-respect. Somehow those words have escaped me. For 20 years my bestie would tease me that I am a chameleon, a pleaser, a shape-shifter or yes-woman. I don’t think I ever fully understood what she meant until my recent troubles. I admit that I lacked the insight to see that I … Continue reading R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Acts of gratitude and rising to the challenge

Acts of gratitude and rising to the challenge

Yesterday I met a dear friend for coffee. Originally I met to re-connect after I had been not so nice via email as the height of my symptoms a couple weeks ago. She is a woman that I respect and the last person I intended to witness my abruptness. She inspires me, for she owns … Continue reading Acts of gratitude and rising to the challenge

SGs Workout Plan reboot 2022

SGs Workout Plan reboot 2022

I started this sometime late last year. I was unsuccessful. One of the main reasons for such was my later discovered sleep apnea. Second, I admittedly did not change my diet initially to the point where I was eating at a deficit, nor did I do my best to eat clean. Third, I stopped dead … Continue reading SGs Workout Plan reboot 2022

My second chance.

My second chance.

Today, I half-heartedly committed to an outreach opportunity. After coaching Ellas game in the morning, I headed straight to the event. In a state of obligation. Begrudgingly already upset that I had overwritten and booked up my weekend. What happened took me by complete surprise. I reconnected with myself, through the various speakers at this … Continue reading My second chance.
