Happy Hump Day all!
I know it’s been awhile since I last posted. I wish I could blame my hiatus on being busy but the truth is I had lost my motivation to blog. In fact I lost interest in a lot of things. For the past few weeks I was basically functioning on autopilot and had stopped showing up for myself. All of this came to head when I attended Curvy Con last month. By that time my confidence had dwindled and I was feeling disconnected from myself. After Curvy Con I knew I needed to get my shit together so I could go back to being myself. I had to acknowledge that I was depressed and needed help to get out of this funk. I had been going to therapy but I really wasn’t doing the work to negative behaviors. I’ve recommitted myself to the therapeutic process and doing the work to make necessary changes. It’s so easy to slide down the hole of negativity and hard as hell to climb out of it.
Showing up for yourself is recognizing things are going sideways and getting help correcting the ship. It also means you care about yourself more than you realize. Trust me It’s okay to fall down and get back up…repeatedly. It doesn’t mean you’re weak, it means you are a wonderfully flawed human.
Have a wonderful day!

Thank you for sharing – a powerful message and reminder to show up for ourselves. So glad you are back – I missed your beautiful soul (and outfits).
Glad you were able to find the way out. I’m very familiar with that hole of negativity, so I know it can be a rough climb!
Thanks for sharing! Trying to get a grip on my anxiety/depression. Refreshing to know others who are climbing out of the hole, also. Your sense of color is refreshing!!
