Last week was incredibly busy and I completely forgot about my Thankful Thursday post! Well, I knew I could not forget it this week so here are my three things I am grateful for! First Anthony, I, our friends Bryan and Gabriela went on a double date to Kelly Jo design by wine. We drank wine, painted a crane in the sunset, and enjoyed each other’s company. Gabriela and I have been dying to go to one of these painting classes just because she and I love wine and being creative. If you are an Albuquerque local, Kelly Jo’s is located on 4th street in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque. It usually costs approximately $35 plus tax per person. Everything is included, (easel, canvas, paints, brushes) apart from snacks and wine. Each class lasts approximately two-three hours. It was such a fun time. I highly recommend taking one of these classes. Second, on Saturday, Anthony and I attended The Mule Deer Foundation of New Mexico’s annual banquet. Anthony was invited to go to this event, and I was fortunate enough to be his guest. We participated in raffles, a live auction, enjoyed a wonderful dinner and had a great time. Anthony and I even won a few prizes from the raffle. We also took a selfie together and Anthony smiled! It is rare when Anthony smiles in pictures or even just takes pictures with me. So, I am incredibly grateful for that! Third, in honor of my new self-love, I decided to pay my friend Shay (a professional photographer) to take pictures of me, just because! I had absolutely no reason other than wanting to get ready and get my picture taken. I am learning to love myself inside and out and why not take beautiful pictures to show off your assets. What are you all thankful for this past week? Let me know in the comments!

Happy Thankful Thursday everyone! This week I have three things I want to talk about that brought a lot of positive vibes my way. First, I have come to accept that someone I believed to be my friend is not. She was kind to me at first but recently ghosted me. It was devastating for me at first because I truly cared for this person. But now, I feel liberated accepting that this person is not worth my time. I'm going to continue living my life and I wish this person the best.I mentioned this in my post, "Inside Me: Acceptance" but I felt it was a huge positive step and I felt it was worth mentioning again. Second, I decided to bring my Harley to mine and Anthony's to spend the weekend with us and Kaleo. When I moved in with Anthony, I wanted to bring my dog, but Blu our late Pit bull wanted to fight with him. So rather than harm either dog I decided to leave Harley at my house with my mom and her dog, Hayley. Well, since Blu's passing I've wanted to see how Harley reacts with the other dog we had, Kaleo. I've just been incredibly lazy in bringing Harley over. Well, I finally decided to bring him over and it was a great visit! Harley was protective of me at first, but after a nights adjustment period, Kaleo and Harley were the best of friends. Maybe some day soon I can finally bring my baby boy home with me. Lastly, I applied for a new position at LifeROOTS and on Monday, I received a call for an interview. I must admit, I was excited to hear they wanted to interview me, but along with that came some anxiety. All the 'what ifs' flooded my brain. Luckily for me, I redirected my thoughts and calmed myself down. This interview is the start of something great whether I get the job or not. My work now sees that I am interested in more than just an entry level position. I see a lot of potential to grow in this field, so I will continue to challenge myself and apply for these positions I am not 100% qualified for because I am a rock star and can achieve anything I set my mind to. I hope you all have a great week and I'll see you next time for Thankful Thursday!
Hello all, this week has been eventful. I had several things that I wanted to point out that I am thankful for this week. First and foremost, Anthony, his parents, and I took a day trip to Santa Fe on Sunday. We went to the national cemetery to visit Anthony’s grandparent’s gravesite. After the cemetery, we stopped at Tesuque Casino and I won $130! Upon leaving Tesuque, we decided to make a stop at Santa Ana Casino and Anthony won $200! It was a prosperous Sunday for both of us. It was also a nice little getaway. Much needed self-care. Second, after a week off from therapy I went back today and didn’t have much to say. I’ve been in therapy about a year and a half now; and it seems that every time I don’t go for a week or two, I completely lose my marbles and have so much to say when I return. Well, I am glad to say that I went in today and had nothing to say. My therapist was shocked but proud. Our session was shorter than usual (10 minutes shorter to be exact) but I didn’t feel I needed support this past two weeks. This could be a good sign that I may not need weekly therapy anymore. Finally, the last thing I am happy to share is an odd one but its important to me. On Jeopardy, we said goodbye to James Holzhauer. James had a 32-game winning streak. I watched every single episode he was on and watched him win over two million dollars! I was fascinated by his winning streak and could not wait for the day the professional sports gambler would lose. I know, that sounds awful, but after a while I was beginning to wonder how he was winning every day. I respect James, he was a hell of a competitor, but I must admit, it was sweet watching him lose to Emma Boettcher. James was known for betting huge amounts for daily doubles and final jeopardy, but for his final episode he only managed to get one daily double and for the final jeopardy question he only bet a modest amount of $1,399. Congratulations to Emma! Take pride in being the person who beat James Holzhauer.
