BYE Felicia!

Where do I even begin.

This year has been a complete disaster. It was scary. I’m blessed and extremely thankful to God that my friends, family and I made it through.

So many people have died this year…famous and otherwise…and it has affected us all.

We never saw Covid coming, and it caused thousands of people to lose their jobs and thousands of people to lose their lives. The pandemic wasn’t handled correctly and lots of people suffered because of it.

Fortunately I was able to keep my job and work from home, all while being able to help my daughter get acclimated to online school.

This pandemic truly showed just how much the people in charge do not care one bit about the American people, about workers, or about families in general. We only got a measly $1,200 from the government even though most have been unemployed for MONTHS, which means that people are behind on rent and other bills and/or getting evicted. Essential workers have had to repeatedly put their lives on the line, without getting anything in return.

Families have been torn apart due to contracting Covid and having to struggle to find where their next meal is coming from. Yet the government turned a blind eye.

Thats scary.

People have shown just how much they don’t care about others. The hate in this country is just outrageous. We have been told that wearing a mask and staying at home as much as you can will greatly lessen the spread, but some people just do not care. They get belligerent, disrespectful and straight up hateful because they can’t keep their normal routine-even if it means saving others. They continued to party, continued to travel, continued to not wear a mask-Pure evil.

This year we have also been given SO many more examples of how racist this world is. There have been so many killings of unarmed Black people this year. Most have been widely publicized and recorded…yet there has been no justice. Black people are tired of having to add names to the already long list of names of those who came before them, who have been unjustly murdered. Simply for being Black.

Tired.

I just want the world to DO and BE better. It could all be so easy.

I stay in my little bubble, consisting of my immediate family, my daughter and my boyfriend…and I thank God I have them to keep me sane because this year has been WILD.

On the flip side…I did finally start my blog and Instagram page this year! After years of doubting myself and just plain old procrastination, I finally did it.

Now I haven’t been as consistent as I initially hoped to be on here 🤦🏽‍♀️ but I am proud of myself for even starting.

I also got to spend SO much time with my daughter that would have normally been spent in an office. It has honestly been great. I’ve gotten to observe her while she’s in class, cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for her, and just be present. I’m so grateful.

We also found out that most jobs can actually be done remotely, most places just don’t want to provide that option (purely a control thing.)

God’s willing, 2021 will be MUCH better. I pray that everyone will be happier, healthier and wealthier. God is in control. Let’s focus on Him, and do everything in our power to be happy and positive in this new year-we all deserve it.
