My Apologies

"A strong woman knows she has strength enough for the journey, but a woman of strength knows it is in the journey where she will become strong"

...why am I apologizing?  Well, it is not only an apology to you, my readers but also to myself, for the lack of consistency.  I had so many plans for both IG, Youtube and this blog.  Plans to move...

forward and post regularly, become that blogger/influencer I always wanted to be, the one my late husband encouraged me to be.  Gosh I miss that level of support and encouragement from him!!  As always life happened and a curve ball has been thrown my way yet again.  My situation has changed and it is completely draining me, my energy, my spirit, literally drained in every sense of the word!  There is no motivation / no creative juices flowing.  I will be ok, this is just another rough season that was put in my path for whatever reason.  I no longer question WHY / WHY ME, I'm sure there is a lesson to be learned, strength to be gained and although I'm feeling super low at this moment I know in the end I will come out of this victorious.  God always has a plan you just have to trust in him.  

Anyways, 2022 is upon us and I have major plans.  Travel is at the top of my list, there are 2 big trips already booked.  I'm super excited - I can't wait!  I'm a little nervous I won't lie and I don't know why, its a good nervous tho if that makes sense lol.  I'm not gonna say where I'm going yet but just know its gonna be GREAT.  

If you follow me on IG then you know that I recently had a birthday and I spent it in Cancun Mexico with my sister inlaw.  It was great, it was a time to relax and clear my head.  I wasn't interested in exploring, leaving the resort or anything like that.  I definitely will return and visit all the places that need to be visited.  Overall I had a great time and I'm grateful to my sis for being there with me, it was much needed for us both.  Now, once I got home it was a whole other story.  After 2 years of avoiding that famous C-Virus it finally caught up to me, I was so angry and questioning how but really that doesn't matter.  I'm grateful I had little to no symptoms but then staying in bed and not moving led me to having pneumonia GO FIGURE.  I KNEW BETTER!!!  I'm still suffering from a little lingering cough, I have a doctor's appt coming up and most likely I'm going to request another X-Ray because my gut says I'm not fully in the clear.  

I'm not going to post pictures of my Mexico trip because you can see them on IG - NYCLIFEANDGLAM.  Ha, I forgot to mention while in Mex I got severe sun poisoning and I had a photoshoot the next day again GOOOO FIGURE lol.  You can clearly see something was wrong with me on the photos otherwise the pictures would have been amazing.  

I swear the craziest things happen to me, at least that's how it seems 😒😂
