Falling For My Forever

No this isn’t going to be the story about me and a guy and our happily ever after. What this is the story of how I have found and embraced myself. Let’s rewind shall we. In January of this year, things in my life changed dramatically, and since then I’ve have been on a bumpy course. It was if I already knew 2020 was going to be a bumpy ride. Signs in my life started to show up, and I was taking them in slowly. I wasn’t sure at that time what was to come, I was lost and afraid of what i was becoming as a person.

That cold night in on the 25th, when my Mom sent me the biggest blessing I’ve ever received, was my turning point. Next it was putting that to work, and accepting the self love that I’ve craved for years. You see I haven’t always been this confident, once upon a time I was a shy girl unsure of myself, and just wondering why I existed. The night was my moment of clarity, and I haven’t turned back since. Since then I have worked on myself body, mind and soul. You have to truly take the steps towards improving yourself, before anything else goes your way.

I was still working on feeling better about myself and entering into that season, when Covid hit. That meant the gyms closed, just about everything changed overnight. We were basically rendered into our homes with nowhere but work and essential shopping to do. Everywhere you go even now you have to wear and mask and social distance. I think the thing that hurt my heart the most was not seeing my family. My grandparents are all that I have left in my life for direct family. The virus had them locked down for months in a different state. For my birthday i finally got to see them again, and that is nothing but pure love. They are my heartbeats, part of the reason I’ve never given up, I would never want to fail them.

During Covid, my company was born. It was created to highlight the fact that we are all alone in our houses, disconnected. I shared stories of my life and you got to know me. I created this blog because I love to write, and I wanted a personal space to share it. My podcasts, yes I talk a lot but this more personal, more from my heart. I like to think while I share what is sacred in my life with you, if you met me in person you would do the same.

With what seems to be a rise in popularity in this blog comes its perks. One big one is being able to Google myself, still pinch myself on that one. Never in my life did I imagine that would happen. I feel very blessed about that honestly. Those blessings seem to continue, once I truly started putting the work into it. No half doing things, making sure I’m building the right type of connections, and a network that will support me going forward. I’ve said in the past the sky is the limit for Taaury37, and I’m not kidding. This blog has been in existence since June, and I’m seeing trends that pretty much amaze me. On Monday I have a meeting with a businessman about my this blog and how to build upon it. This could be the moment I’ve been waiting for, at least with help in growth. Word of mouth is a powerful thing and so is putting your best foot forward. Make sure you make your mark on the world, big or small.

The business world has been kind to me so far, so good knock on wood. I’m beginning to realize what being a CEO of a company entails, and how it’s the never ending grind in life. Just keep pushing I tell myself, when I’m too tired or I get stuck in my own head, which hahaha happens a lot. The self improvement that i mentioned, is ongoing. The bonds that i have created during this pandemic are solid. Everyday is a teaching moment for me, as I can look at it in a way that most don’t see it. I see both sides of the coin, never discount either side, there are blessings on each.

In closing, always improve on yourself. There is never a glass ceiling on growth. You will feel better knowing that you have done everything in your power to grow. That means getting rid of things that don’t serve you, relationships, items and sometimes jobs. This week is my fresh start on the career part, to find something that I truly love as well: Lab Science!! My inner biochemistry loving self enjoy this past week on light duty. As Kathy said you might not light the world on fire, you will find your purpose. I’ve found that and so much more this year, so 2020 hasn’t been a complete shit show. It was the year I finally stepped into the light and now I’m shining ✨

Take Care,

Taaury37
