2011 was an interesting year. A year of learning more about myself and those around me. With high expectations for others, I had to learn to accept people for who they are. Though, this issue had to do with others, I too had to shine the light on me. In August of 2011, I found myself depressed for the very first time. Yes, ME, Ms. Positive; always encouraging others, etc. I laid in my bed dormant and not wanting to do anything; not even shop (my favorite thing to do). I cried, I slept, I did nothing. It was a moment of self reflection and a time to listen in order to move forward. No one knew my pain, not even my husband. I felt inadequate, nervous, unsure and crippled. I felt that I was not doing enough within my business as well as my personal life. It was time to MOVE!!!!!
Since that experience, my life has changed. As mentioned in a prior post, I had to take time for ME. With that said, this past weekend, I took out time with my family. We headed to Rancho Cucamonga with my husband, mom, kids and nephew. We had a blast!!! We stayed at the Hilton, ate, went shopping at Ontario Mills Mall, went to the movies, ate, hung out, ate...O, yes did I say ate or EAT!!!! Lastly, to top it off, we went to my uncles home for dinner on Sunday before heading back home. I truly believe that I picked up 15lbs. on this trip alone. This year, I promised myself that I would do more things for me & explore. Small getaways recharges your body & cost very little when planned right. Name some weekend getaways that recharges your body.
