I can’t believe that today is my b-day. I turn 38 and let me tell you, it’s been quite the ride. Last year around this time, I found myself unhappy, full of doubts, heartbroken — but with enough desire to give myself a makeover! It’s been about a year since I decided to truly take care for me and work on ways to get back to my happy place.
I’m happy to report that I’m in my happy place now! I lost 35 (!) pounds, feel healthier than ever, and have surrounded myself with only positive people who want the best for me. I no longer stay in friendships or relationships that bring me down. I also let go of unhealthy eating habits, more about that HERE! But most importantly, my heart is almost fully healed following a bad breakup last year.
At 38 I thought I would by now have a loving husband, a family, and a house, among other things, but even though none of that has happened for me yet, I’m so incredibly thankful for what I do have. I’m currently working for a company I love, I have incredible clients that I help shine daily, and I’m proud that my baby SpicyCandyDC still kicking and thriving.
It’s also been quite the roller coaster to find my ride or die when it comes to friendships but I’m truly so grateful with the people I keep close. I have an incredible family who supports what I do and a mother who is my number one fan, there isn’t a blog post that she yet has not shared and liked (thank you, MOM!). So even though I’m not where “society” might want me to be in terms of relationship status, I’m enjoying my blessings every day.
Finding love is probably the hardest thing to do out there and I have no doubt that I’ll eventually find that too, I trust God’s timing in everything. So in case you are wondering if I’m happy single, I am! There are days when I feel lonely and question if he is out there lol but you can’t dwell on that and let it take over your life.
I can’t wait to see what this new year will bring me! With that said, thank YOU all for following my journey and being part of bringing my heart so much joy.
Cheers to another year! Xo
