During nineteen years of marriage, he took me to see Phantom of the Opera once. In the seventeen months since the divorce, I've seen Oz, Hamilton, Little Shop of Horrors, Dracula, Hadestown, Annie Jr., Mean Girls, Mamma Mia, and Moulin Rouge. #theaterkid #findyourhappy

Same.
Spent 25 years conforming to others opinions, standards & expectations & compromised my character to be who others wanted me to be...being fake & caring more about quantity to say that I had "friends"

I paid a high price & was a tough journey to reclaim my power & be who I am (voice, backbone, etc)

It never ceases to amaze me how many entry-level jobs are asking for 2-5 years of experience. One: entry-level means just starting out. Two: I can't get experience if you gatekeep it like that. Skills are transferable, and I can learn new things. #lookingforwork

I read eleven books last year. I am proud of this because it's ten more than the year before. It's nice to return to some old habits. #books #readmoreoften

I have canceled Amazon Prime. I am already saving money. And I like it.

If 2024 was about the flames, may 2025 tell the story of the phoenix rising magnificently.

And so it is.

Jinx loves his Auntie Diva. I try to not get attached to foster kittens, but this one is special. 💜
