Change can be a bliss

(TW: self harm/scars)

When I was 18 I got my first tattoo with my now sister-in-law. I knew for a long time that I was going to get one, didn't matter what my parents thought. I have always loved the idea of our bodies telling stories of our lives.

Things change

Little did a I know then how much and how often things do change - but it didn't mean people do. The more I've grown in my journey, the more I have felt that this tattoo is something that my body was trying to tell me for a long time...in a positive way. This year has brought so much change. In really f*****g hard ways, but in ways that it needed to.

I have been getting back into nature - not only with my k-9 friend but with friends and people who are my chosen family. Each moment we are out and exploring together, the more I feel that I come back to myself.

Recently, I made a trek out to one of my favorite spots with a friend, her son and service dog/pet (he wasn't working this day!)

We had such great talks, her son put rocks out as offerings for fairies at each tree that had a large enough spot for them to enter our world. It was a beautiful memory of childhood and imagination of what pure children are. Now, no ones childhood is perfect. I had some pretty big traumatic events in mine.

You can see from my body the scars that remain from that time. Each time I look down and see them though - I remember how strong and resilient I am from that experience. How much things change. For the better though. I continue to choose myself, choose growth and each day I continue to grow into my true joy and happiness.

There is also change in spaces - my mother always told me growing up that I had gypsy blood and would want to be on the move. She was RIGHT! Ha

Even with my career I have found so much transition and movement because I have no idea what I want to do or who I want to be. People always tell me I am young, I have plenty of time to figure it out and I never really believed them until now.

Hart, Travers & Associates has been such a pivotal contract for me. They have given me the freedom of creativity with my designs, projects and let me truly grow in my career. I am beyond grateful for all that they have provided for me. Once we even were awarded something from Zoeller Pump Company for social media engagement and I won a little gift. I am not typically a gifts love language person (pretty much the opposite), but this one meant a lot to me because it was proof that people do appreciate the work. For one month - we had the most engagement for representatives/contractors.

I hope this post makes you reflect on all the growth that you have been doing and what you want to see from yourself as 2025 comes to an end and what 2026 can bring you.
