🎈This is 49. 🎈

This has been a year of of self discovery, reinvention, growth, and healing.

😷The pandemic, quarantine, and the need for social distancing were all scary, but what actually led to these positive changes.

🤕Here’s the short version: I’ve had rheumatoid arthritis for almost 10 years now. Stress and sleep deprivation cause flares. Stress causes sleep deprivation. My job was becoming all consuming and my work/life balance was way out of whack. It was about to get worse when our hybrid protocol was released and I realized I’d be simultaneously teaching in person and virtually. I was nervous about getting COVID a as well, of course. I wanted to stick it out but my body was fighting me so hard. I had to stop part way up the stairs to my room to rest my painful, swollen feet, which would fall asleep while I was walking. It hurt to hold a pen. The inflammation in my shoulders and wrists was cutting off the circulation to my hands. The brain fog was ridiculous and I was perpetually exhausted. I had nothing left at the end of the day and felt like a crappy wife and mom. 😭

😱After talking it out with many colleagues and my husband, I took a one-year leave to focus on my flexible, work from home side business. It was a scary move.

💄As a Beautycounter consultant, I had a monthly income stream. Without this I never could have left.
You have no idea how grateful I am for all of you who support me. 🥰

☺️ I chose my health over my teaching job, which felt very selfish, but it was the best decision for my family. I am healthier, happier, and the flexibility of working from home allows me a nap when I need it and I can work from my bed or the couch when I need to put my feet up. Most importantly, I’ve been physically and emotionally present for my daughter, who has had a very tough year.

🤷🏼‍♀️I never saw myself in direct sales, and if you told me five years ago I’d leave the classroom to pursue a direct sales “side hustle” full-time I would not have believed you. Crazy. Never say never.

🎂 49 is not a very exciting age. It’s not a milestone birthday or anything, but every year is worth celebrating since many aren’t given the opportunity.

🌍Every day should be Earth Day, but it officially falls on April 22nd each year.

🏡This is a great time to evaluate your household’s practices and see where you can make improvements. Everything from our utilities, transportation, food choices, waste disposal, and more have an impact on our carbon footprint.

♻️Little changes can make a big difference and I’ll share all about it in my posts and stories this week.

I’d love for you to share how you’re making a difference, too!

Without fail, every time I wear this tee out in public I get a few head bobs and thumbs up. 👍 I am sure there are also a few smiles behind those masks.☺️

It’s spring time and the perfect time for the #silversistersinpinklipstick challenge. Thank you for the tag, @grey.grace.andgrit

My choice today is First Date from Beautycounter. I love it. Super saturated, yet ultra hydrating, and my favorite part? High performing, non-toxic, and cruelty-free. 💄💄

I’m more of a lipgloss girl, but if I am going to choose a lipstick it will be a lip intense from BC.

Are you more of a gloss or lipstick girl?
