- I graduated with my daughter! We both earned our Associate's Degree and I did it with a 4.0 GPA. She had a 3.9 because of a 2 bad teachers' grading of a particular thing.
- I went to Puerto Rico, on a Caribbean cruise, then back to Puerto Rico
- I totally unified, rebuilt, and grew the campus' Phi Theta Kappa honor society with a lot of hard work from some great members and an amazing advisor
- I spent 2 1/2 days at a retreat teaching and planning with my officers to make 2019 the best year yet
- I joined up with Women Rising on campus to help create and unify a sisterhood, support system for women on campus
- I'm teaching my brother how to drive.
- I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's after telling my doctor my thyroid isn't working right for a year, then a new doctor did bloodwork and found over 10 things wrong related to thyroid function. She said I wouldn't have Hashimoto's if the other doctor caught this sooner.
- I'm heading to New England soon to celebrate my daughter's Graduation and 21st Birthday.
- I'm going to be a "Mimi" this fall - our 1st grandbaby.
- I'm accepted, enrolled, and transferring to a new college in January (building up credits at community college prices first) where I'll only need 1 year/9 classes, to earn a Bachelor's.
- I'm loving plant-based eating. I feel so much better, and after reading The China Study, I believe eating meat and dairy every day may be the leading cause of cancer.
So where am I at now? Enjoying the rest of my summer, I have an easier than ever fall semester, I'm excited about the Phi Theta Kappa and Women Rising events this fall, I'm expecting my Hashimoto's to get better, and I'm back to living simply after an absolutely overwhelming semester.
Hopefully I'll be back on here regularly again. We can talk about health, minimalism, education, faith, politics, who knows? What I do know is that I will continue to encourage others on their own path to always take baby steps toward their goals and live intentionally. Talk to you soon.
