NOT AT 100% BUT BOUNCING BACK


Once again another time jump... 2025... 
I am not at 100% but trying...
  • Cant see well... Low vision since 09/24
  • It will be Deedee's 13th wings anniversary this week.
  • Her 18th birthday was on 08/17/25... Well, could have been...
  • Willie passed away 06/15/25. 
  • My sister Edni passed away in 02/19/22.
  • Gladys passed away 06/2021
  • Sti passed away 02/18
  • Deedee passed away 10/12

On better news:
  • K turned 15 this year!
  • Graduated on 11/2024 MCC. I'm RMHCI in Florida.
  • Got our own house on 06/2024
  • Remember self-compassion and gratitude


Reminders for the days when you don’t feel 100%:

  • Energy is cyclical, not constant.
  • Like seasons or tides, our capacity fluctuates, so let go of the guilt.
  • You’re not falling behind. You’re just in a lower gear today.
  • Some days, showing up is the win.
  • You don’t always need to exceed.
  • Just being present, trying, or doing one small thing can be a powerful act of perseverance.
  • Grace fuels consistency.
  • Beating yourself up rarely helps.
  • Self-compassion keeps you moving forward far more than shame ever will.

REST

 by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang.

This eye-opening book flips the script on rest. It shows that deep rest isn’t the enemy of great work - it’s the foundation.

Drawing on neuroscience and stories of high performers, Pang makes the case that we get more done by doing less.

It’s a must-read for anyone battling burnout.
