How 2017 has been…September

Hi Blog world,

September has brought on lots of blessings for me.

First, I enjoyed a day of simple trip to the grocery store. I don’t know if you guys know, however I am on a lifestyle change called, “the no white food diet,” I do pretty well once I get motivated and I have the right foods to stay on track.  Let me know, by writing a comment below, if you want to know more about my journey while on this lifestyle.

My second blessing this month was I went shopping with a friend of mine, I got a white and black top that I could use for work and some new leggings. I’m so excited for the muggy Florida weather to be over, so I can bring out my winter clothing. I also received an amazing gift of some new clothes from some friends of mine. I love my new style of clothes. It really helps boost my self-esteem. I feel like I’m ready for the word of work-once God puts me in the job that he needs me to be in.

My final blessing, and the one I’m most excited to share, is I finally have a Mic and a tripod where I can start making YouTube videos! Tell me, in the comments below, what kinds of videos you would like to see on my channel. I’m excited to see all your comments and I’m eager to get started producing videos.

How 2017 has been….August

Hi Blog world,

Wow, I can’t believe it’s already eight months into the year. Boy, time is moving quickly.

This month started off with my grandma’s birthday! We had a blast as we invited friends to come help celebrate her special day. As usually grandpa made his special coconut cake. Enjoy really enjoyed it.

I have also enjoyed shopping; I found some stuff that Duke enjoys. He sure is a spoiled puppy.

How 2017 has been…..July

Hi Blog world,

Now, we are into August-Where has the time gone?

Here are my blessings for this month:

  1. Catching up with old friends. When daily life gets to busy hearing from an old friend really lifted my mood.
  2. Enjoying a get together with neighbors and friends. I enjoyed talking with everyone. I especially enjoyed the coconut cake we had for dessert. Yum!
  3. Even though, I was not able to attend the American Nystagmus Network Conference, it was nice to hear from others about what they had learned. I have decided to make a goal to try to attend the next conference.

How has 2017 been….June

Hi Blog world,

Another month has quickly pasted, and instead of complaining about being on Unemployment Island I’ve decided to pick out three positive things that happened!

  1. I got to have lunch with a  group of my friends! We went to an Italian restaurant I had a meatball sub; and it was amazing.  I even got to enjoy a chocolate chip cookie for dessert. (One of my favorites :) )

2. I have the most supportive group of friends in the whole wide world. From here locally to all the way from England to India. They support my writing and what I am trying to achieve.  When we get a chance to chat online we have a blast and I couldn’t be more thankful for them.

3. Lastly, I got to see a live taping of a show called “Inner Voices,” this specific show was about an Indian named Chief  Blue-Eyes and about his culture. The show was very interesting and I learned a lot.

After the taping my supervisor and I went to a Mexican restaurant to celebrate my one year work anniversary.

How has 2017 been…May

Hi Blog world,

As I sit here drinking my almost cold coffee, I also take a glance at my planner. Boy, May was filled with excitement! As you know, I’m the intern for She’s Social, and we had our launch party this month. For weeks leading up to the party I worked hard gathering information that my supervisor asked of me. We had meetings on how she wanted the launch party to go. I’m happy to say that the launch party was a success and everyone had a great time. There was music, dancing, poetry, and speeches. The room was filled with great energy.

I took a Selfie at the launch Party! Don’t I look pretty?

Now onto my journey with my long-three year stay on unemployment island. My job coaches found a hot job lead as a receptionist. I went to the interview ready to nail it! I dressed for success and showed interest in the company.  I felt like my interviewing skills have improved, yet I was not chosen….

Another thing one of my job coaches did to help me leave the island was to help me pick out two more dress for success outfits for interviews. I like my new outfits and feel like I can nail my next interview.

Until my next interview though I will be chatting with my friends about the minimal resources I have, and how I can build a boat that will not sink when I start paddling out towards employment island.

How has 2017 been….April

Hi Blog world,

Another month has come and gone, and I can’t help but be thankful of all the amazing things that have happened. At the beginning of the month, I was able to FaceTime with my friend, Becca, for a few minutes. It was nice to catch up on how we were doing.

On top of that, my best friend and I went to see the movie, “A dog’s purpose,” it was a nice movie; and I recommend that if you’re a dog lover that you go see the movie.

During the Easter holiday Jessica came over to spend the weekend. We played cards, read a book for our book club, and just enjoyed each other’s company.

Towards the end of the month I had lunch with an acquaintance, it was nice to catch up with her and to have a tasty lunch.

The last thing that made April great was doing our Flower Day 2017.

I already have some things planned for May. It’s going to be a busy month!

Flower Day 2017

Hi Blog world,

I’m having an amazing day and an amazing week! Today, my friend and I went to a local store to pick up some flowers for my family’s flower beds. It was so much fun seeing the variety of flowers.

My friend is very good about choosing the different kinds of flowers to plant along with choosing different colors that  would work with the already existing color palate.

I was excited about re-growing Noodles’ memorial garden. When we got to my house-we both got straight to work getting the flowers planted. I worked on Noodles’ memorial garden and my friend worked on the tippy pots.

Once I finished Noodles’ garden I felt proud of my work; it was so pretty. I continued to help my friend by planting the flowers she told me to plant. I also got to spread some new potting soil.

While I worked I though about how happy my grandma would be after she saw the finished garden. It was a great day helping other, and I can’t wait to see the garden grows.
