Safety comes 1st

EVERYONE, especially women, young women, young adults, teenagers... as a woman, as a girl we should always be aware of our surroundings. There are some bad people out there that want to hurt people, hurt us, hurt women. I don't know why, I don't know the reasoning of it, and I don't understand why or how a human can harm another human. And when a person harms another person, there should be sever consequences. So, with this being said, I want to share some common sense safety measures that all women and girls should take.

Always be aware of your surrounds.
Get off your cell phones and pay attention to who and what is going on around you.
When you're busy looking down at your phone, you don't know who may be following you and your leave yourself open to an attack.  
If you must be on your phone, tell whoever is on the other line that you're walking to your car...put your phone to your side and walk to your car. Once you're safe inside your car, you can resume conversation.
If you're walking to your car alone, have your largest key out. You can use it as a self defense tool if someone tries to attack you.
 
Use the buddy system, never walk alone. If your car is parked far away, have someone drive you to your car.
Park in a well lite area.
Always lock your doors (car and home)
Get in your car and immediately lock your doors.
When you're home, lock your doors and make sure all the windows are locked.
If you have a garage, get in your car and lock the doors before opening the garage door and vice versa.
 
and most importantly, always let someone know where you are. If you're traveling, give someone your itinerary information.
If you're going on a date, let a friend know what your plans are.
You never know who is out to harm you.
Unfortunately, its who you least expect it to be.

Cultivating relationships

Maintaining relationships demands effort; it's a mutual journey. Each party contributes, and amidst this exchange, bonds form—be it friendships or deeper connections. Some relationships necessitate more investment; sometimes, it feels like you're carrying the weight alone, striving to sustain the connection. Personally, I've struggled with nurturing friendships; perhaps due to youthful ignorance, where life felt boundless, consequences seemed distant, and self-centeredness prevailed. As age brings maturity, many friendships naturally drift away amid life's chaos and the challenges of adulthood. Reflecting on my past interactions often astonishes me; how did I manage any healthy relationships back then? Truthfully, I didn't. Those who I once considered friends, or who considered me as such, have vanished, leaving behind only fragmented memories—thanks, memory loss. Although forgetfulness might seem a blessing, the impressions we leave behind persist. This notion unne...

I'm being selfish

This week has been a whirlwind of emotions that I struggle to articulate. Attending the funeral of a childhood friend's father, who passed away unexpectedly, opened floodgates of nostalgia and sadness. We shared a bond through our mutual love for horseback riding, receiving our first ponies almost simultaneously. While we've drifted apart as adults, the news hit me hard. Our parents, similar in age and pursuits, faced the unimaginable loss of a husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. Witnessing my friend's grief and contemplating my own future in their shoes brought tears of empathy and fear. The inevitability of losing loved ones, a reality we often push aside, looms ominously. Reflecting on my relationship with my family, I realize how it's evolved over the years. From distant ties to a profound dependency, I now find solace and support in them daily. When my father suffered a heart attack, I was thrust into a surreal state of emotional numbness, only to cr...
Wow, it’s been a while since my last post in April! This year has been a whirlwind—it’s incredible how time flies. Big milestone: I turned 40! I still can’t believe it. I don’t feel 40, though; my mind says 20, but my body sometimes feels 70. 😅 I was lucky to celebrate with my family and closest friends, and my parents surprised me with my very first Louis Vuitton. She’s stunning! I also completed my MSF course, which means I can legally ride my motorcycle now! I recently took my Triumph Bonneville T120 on its first solo ride to work. It was nerve-wracking but exhilarating, and I’m hooked! My next dream bike is the Triumph Scrambler, so I can join my husband on some dirt road adventures. Unfortunately, I got hit with a really bad bug and was in bed for a week, which wiped out all my PTO for the year. This year marked our 10th wedding anniversary, and my parents gifted us a trip to Italy! With no more PTO left, we’ve had to push it to next year, but honestly, I feel good about having ...
