8 Years

Good Morning ☀️

I got you, Shaun!🥰

Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of memories from my Research Diva–RD days. It makes me wonder what life would be like had I not let things rattle me to the point that I ran and hid? Because, honestly, that’s exactly what I did. I was still moving about and interacting as if everything was the same; however, inside, I wasn’t the same person. I had lost almost all of my confidence, and no matter what I did to rebuild it, it only made me feel more inadequate, especially when I started working on my doctorate. I also tried changing directions completely by playing around with Marketing. For a while, I was all over the play. Sighing

Now, here I am, eight years later, more confident than I was a few years ago; however, not nearly as confident as I was back then. I rarely—almost never—think about what could’ve been, but today, I wonder.

Have you ever lost your confidence to the point where you retreated and hid? If so, how did you regain it?


By the way, I did find Gunsmoke (see last post), but decided to watch Leave It To Beaver instead.☺️

I pray you had a restful night. May your day be filled with love, light, hope, and peace.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Ugh… I Want To Talk

What do you do when you’re wide awake at 2:00 AM and want to talk? Do you talk to yourself?😅

I don’t talk on the phone much. I’d rather text than talk. However, every now and then, I actually want to hear another’s voice. 😩

I’ll tell you who I could call no matter the hour, and they’d talk like it was high noon—maybe I should turn on the tv and watch a couple of episodes of Gunsmoke…🤭 Anyhoo, as I was saying, there was one person I could call no matter the time, and that was my momma. When I tell you she’d talk until the sun came up. Y’all, she could talk for hours!

I guess writing is the alternative right now. No response, but at least I feel like I’m talking to someone, not just myself. For those in the U.S., I hope you’re sleeping well (I fell asleep much too early last night😩). For those abroad, have a wonderful day!

Now let me turn on the tv and see if I can find an episode of Gunsmoke.♥️

Good Night
