Do You Really Know Them?

"I wonder how many people miss out on the chance to truly get to know someone because they assume they already know them. It may sound contradictory, but many individuals might meet someone during a holiday or a rare occasion and believe they know everything about them without trying to get to know them better. This could even happen within one's own family." Since my diagnosis almost two years ago, I have undergone significant changes.

 As mentioned in my recent blog post, I am starting a new phase in my life where I aim to merge all aspects of my life and be more authentic, transparent, and dependable. I attribute my success to my firm belief in Faith. Let me define Faith- complete trust or confidence in someone or something. It can also refer to a firm belief in God or the doctrines of a religion based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof. Speaking for myself, I belong to the latter definition. However, I don't expect others to share my beliefs. I believe everyone should have Faith in something - whether it's complete trust or confidence in someone or something. Therefore, wherever your Faith lies, I encourage you to lean on it. Faith alone can and will transform you and your perspective on life. In future blog posts, I will share my experiences and how Faith has played a significant role in my journey. Photo Credit: April Holdridge Photography; Callaway Gardens, Georgia

Just Get Started

 I have been on a new journey and turned a new page this year. I am taking a positive step toward personal growth and healing. I am exploring different avenues for self-improvement, from reading books to watching videos and attending webinars. I hope the resources I uncover that have helped me will be helpful to you, and I will share them with you. I will keep everything straightforward and simple to read, cutting out all the boring stuff. Please know I support your journey towards better health and well-being.  I have been educating myself in self-help, artistic growth, Christianity, mental health, writing, and becoming a certified genealogist on a budget. All the books, webinars, and videos I have referred to tell you the same thing: Just get started. So here we are, getting started together.  https://holdapril77.wixsite.com/sleuth-matron-101   All Rights Reserved
