The warmer weather and the start of a new month have made me feel more optimistic than I have in a long time. This month, I look forward to a baby shower, my nephew’s wedding, and a gathering with family on Easter Sunday.

Armed with a renewed sense of writing energy, I am trying my hand at writing a poem each day, pushing my limits and growing. Completing the SOL challenge has made me realize how much joy writing brings me. It also helps my mental health.

I am also more optimistic about reclaiming my health – physically, spiritually, and mentally. New MRI results and a script for PT have set me on a path to prioritizing my health and wellness. This girl had a “Snap Out of It.” moment. I am determined to make the last quarter of my life the best quarter possible.

Here’s to thriving!
