It took two years, but I found myself thinking about this blog and how much I used to enjoy writing. I was in such a transition period in my last post. Little did I know – nor did any of us – what was about to transpire when I last posted December 26, 2019.
Since then, I’ve managed to stave off getting COVID (knocking on wood right now), took a year off from drinking, tried “moderating” drinking and realized it served no purpose so eschewed it completely, and have celebrated going vegan 3+ years ago.
On the mental health side, I quit my stressful corporate job and took a long-overdue six-month sabbatical. I’m now starting to think about what my next step might be. As much as I have loved serving education for the past 2+ decades, my interests now tend to revolve around health and wellness, building financial security, and plants/nature…all intertwined.
I kicked off the year with my annual helping of vegan hoppin’ John soup. Here’s to health, wealth, peace, and love. We need it now more than ever.
