A year ago, today I woke up unemployed. The emotions running through me ranged from fear, anxiety, and nervousness to excitement, gratitude, and happiness. I had just retired at the very early age of 48 and was about to embark on a great adventure, new way of life in a new country that I had never been to before.

I’ve always considered myself a spiritual person. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a relationship with a Higher Power, whether it be God, Jesus Christ, or a Power greater than me. Growing up in a relatively small town, I lived a sheltered life. My spiritual foundation was wrapped around Christianity. I wasn’t exposed to a lot of things, including other religions, until later when I was in my mid-twenties, in college and out on my own. In this blog I’m going to share my spiritual journey. I want to stress that this is MY journey and MY experience. What I have found to work for me, might not work for others and vice versa. My hope is that you read with an open heart and open mind.
I am not an expert in Self-Care. I’m simply a middle-aged, overly stressed, highly anxious, frustrated, at times extremely intense woman, desperately seeking a way to eliminate decades of poor life choices and health habits. This blog was not, I repeat WAS NOT created to portray myself as an expert. If you’re seeking a self-care expert or information on how to properly engage in Self-Care, there are thousands of “experts” on the internet. Trust me, I’ve looked.
I don’t think I fully recovered from Covid for several months. I started to gain more weight and reached the heaviest I’ve ever been. I was and am considered obese. My blood pressure was up, so was my cholesterol. My body was giving me those warning signs again. My Dr told me I had some choices to make. Go on medication or make serious lifestyle changes. If I didn’t do something immediately, I could have a heart attack or stoke within a year. Yup! That scared me! Hello Costa Rica!
