New Year Bold Choices: Unwrapping The Holidays

Unwrapping the New Holidays

How unwrapping the holidays affected My new year bold choices? The holidays were great, I was blessed to have had some quality time with my parents. The beginning of December definitely began with family and fun adventures. My parents made the trip to Florida to celebrate my mom’s birthday. I don’t get to see my parents very often due to the distance. So having them here for 10 days was such a treat to me and my girls.

My parents are such a fun pair. They have their funny and silly quirks about them that my kids love so much. Seeing them with my children really did my heart so good. And your parents are really different with their grandchildren. Maybe one day I will get to experience the same things. We had so much fun enjoying the Theme parks and Dinner time. I was so proud of how much bravery they embraced. As a married couple, we felt a sense of accomplishment. We had helped to contribute to such a memorable time.

New memories were made and will last us a lifetime. A couple days filled with just new adventures, new food, new experiences. I wish to would do more. We always feel that way when we give anyone a gift or something that can bring them joy. One day I will achieve the goals from this bold choice of mine.

Holiday Nerves

Navigating my Holiday nerves was not easy. As the family left we were blessed to have spent quality time with husband’s brother and wife. They also spent the holidays with us. And it was so refreshing to see them. When they visit we always go out on a double date. I often think about how nice it would be if they lived close by, as new neighbors. We’ll make it a regular thing and go for dinner or a movie. One day I hope that it can happen. It would make so many people happy.

The holiday planning and shopping went as planned. No new surprises, just a flow of good cheer and back to back events. From company holiday party to family visiting and then straight to Christmas. I felt a sense of pressure on myself. I wanted it all to go well. In every way, I felt I had to be strong. Navigating my feeling are sometimes the hardest moments for me. I wear my emotions on my face. And sometimes it is not a pretty picture.

Balancing tears of Joy vs tears of Sadness

It comes to no one’s surprise that tears were shed during this process. I wanted it all to feel real and pure. While it all turned out to be positive and memorable and real. The battle that trauma causes after the fact is hard to explain to anyone. Especially to the person that made you feel like life did this to you. And you in turn can either take that and make it the worst news possible. Or you can turn that into something new.

I cried tears of sadness. I need this dreadful cloud to leave my home, my life, and my path. It should also leave any new place I will go. So I had to learn how to balance my tears of joy vs my tears of sadness. I simply looked at what was happening in that moment. I grounded myself within the now. While that was a hard task to manage. It brought me to a new place I now enjoy.

New year Bold Choices

This new year, bold choices are being made. While the first bold choice was to make this blog. I believe it was the stepping stone for the new things I have planned. No more making choices to satisfy others. No more feelings of regret. More decisions on how I want to live my life going ahead. Last year I stumbled across some interesting opportunities. And over the course of a few months I have accomplished so much growth. I want to share those opportunities with people who need an outlet. They can keep their minds busy while making a passive income. It’s a fun way to keep you busy and enjoy free products!

For now, I am happy to report that while some days are not always my best. I am keeping a positive outlook on how far I can go with my new found love. The love of working, Journaling and waking up with a purpose of bettering myself. And the love of making a contribution to something or someone that sees a post I made or a video. And to that I say, YOU ARE THE REAL WINNER KENDRA!
