Hi everyone! It's been a while! this is my first blog of 2023.
I want to start by saying "happy new year! , Yes, even though it's now February 🤣.
Okay, seriously though how is everyone?
Today I want to talk about new beginnings, new opportunities, goals, plans for the future, and all things bright! (Woo)
So let's start off with the fact in October I finished my service mission where I volunteered for
my church. It was for 18 months and it was the best 18 months! And if I could do it again I would! 🥰 I had unforgettable experiences, and made new lifelong friends! And started to truly focus on healing (from some problematic things )
I also now have a new job! I work full-time hours, working 40 hours a week at minimum wage but can't complain, not really as it's an income and the income is worth it I suppose especially for the plans I have this year!
Talking about plans I have some big ones coming up!
I plan to travel !!! I'm so excited! I haven't been out of England since before 2020 (why 2020 emily? ) well in 2020 we had a worldwide pandemic that stopped a lot of people from going anywhere or traveling or even seeing loved ones .. but now it's 2023 and everything is pretty much back to normal and we can "be free" again..
Time for the drum roll, please!!! 🥁
in June I'm going to Belgium 🇧🇪 for a week! And it's pretty special because I have volunteered my services and my time to help at the Special Olympics!!!
I'm beyond excited (and nervous) because I'm meeting new people and flying on my own! I've only ever flown on my own once in the past and that was to Utah, USA 🇺🇸 in 2018, and that was a big deal to as that was the 1st ever time I had flown on my own!.. the thing is I've only ever been places with my family before like Rome in 2019 with my mum and aunt, or turkey with my family bas a child or school trip to Barcelona (and that was by coach)
I'm also planning to save as much as I can to go back to Utah in 2024 sometime as I haven't seen my friends in so long and I will have new friends to go and visit! (You know who you are! 🤣 ) but nothing is set in stone yet for that trip .. I'm taking things 1 step at a time!
Now Let's talk about goals that I have, as I've grown up I've stopped making new years resolutions I've just changed them and made goals! And practical ones, how to make money, save money, expand my craft business, read my scriptures more, make time to read in general.. and BLOG MORE! ❤️ because honestly, I enjoy writing/ typing here for the world to see! And this is a great way for all my American friends to stay connected with me as well!
But yes, I have goals for my here blog page and blog posts. I hope to gain more readers or followers, I hope to still make an impact on people's lives in a small way, like I set out to do when I started.
I have some topics I want to share like:
•My story and experience with my mental health.
•My crafts (I have a craft shed and a small business)
• Travel /traveling
•Books
And these are just a small few ideas I have.. I hope to come up with more..
But I have been told that I am very good at articulating my words and expressing how I feel, so I really want to try and stick at this Blogging thing and hope I can make a difference in someone's day..
Well, that's pretty much a wrap on this blog today guys! 😀 Thanks for sticking with it and reading along! I really hope this puts a smile on someone's face or something.
