10 Things That Help Me Get My Head Outta My...
I felt so tangled up in emotions the first week my family moved to Charleston, South Carolina from my hometown of Orlando, Florida. I was functioning in a permanent state of “fight of flight!” Even though I was totally aware of it, and would catch my reactive tendencies, I still allowed some unfiltered emotions and choice words to fly out. The follow up response to those reactions were always a sense of immediate regret and period of reflection.

No More "New Year, New Me"
Deceptive as the title may be, I'm not a cynic to the idea of improvement or any form of self-actualization that may come with "New Year, New Me" fresh starts. To further this string of deception and add a pinch of irony, my resolution is to have more of these fresh starts. But here's the kicker: January 1st doesn't have to be the day to do it! As the fireworks settle (in every other year but 2020), many come to the time of embarking on a change or happening upon a revelation about themselves. I've come to find myself deciding on things I want to start to do late in December but putting a pin in it for the sake of "starting fresh" in the new year. But why do we find ourselves with this sudden motivation to try something once this day comes up? I've found people hold onto this tradition and maybe even break it up to the first day of each month or at the end of something else as the ticket to a new beginning.

Where Do We Begin with What Happen on the 2020 Binge?
The year 2020 showed us that anything can happen here on Earth. It has presented chaos bypassed what anyone was ready for. Whether it was cultural differences, anxiety of many faces, a virus no one understands, lost lives, closed businesses, unemployment, and an election that just was the tip of the iceberg.

Sliding into 2021 on Sweat, Snot and Tears!
Taking into consideration that I was a wee-bit over tired getting up at 2:30am with a puppy every morning as a factor and my nerves being raw, this holiday season has proven to have been a highly emotional mix! For me, like so many of us, most of these feelings were fueled by the dramatic lifestyle, professional, financial, and personal changes brought upon us because of the Covid pandemic and highly charged presidential election.

Why Learn To Be Alone Is an Opportunity for Personal Growth
Qualifying emotions as good or bad is wrong. Loneliness, as it happens with sadness, laziness, doubt, or anger, one must consider the context, intensity, meaning, and handling of the feeling to assess whether it is a tool of power or a weapon of destruction. In other words, the important thing is not loneliness, but the interpretation and the use we make of it.

Not another mid life crisis
I’m not a fan of the term “crisis” and all the negativity that implies. It doesn’t have to be negative though, if you are using the definition of crisis as a “danger” and the more palatable “opportunity”... even if those opportunities are dwindling rapidly. I’d like to say I experienced it as a “wake up call”. In many ways it’s just .... that feeling of “is that all there is...?”

Rising from the ashes of Despair
In the darkest times, nobody cares how good you are and how talented you are. They don't care how hard you focus for yourself, even if they know there's going to be moments when things don't necessarily go the right way. It is probable that there will be occasions when something will happen that is expected to happen but you did not expect it.

Who is Daiana? Exposing my TRUEself.
Getting to know myself wasn't easy. As I try to introduce myself to the word, I find more and more aspects of me which I wasn't aware of. I'll now like to introduce myself to any audience who feels drawn to my creativity and also those who thought that knew me, but really didn't, including my myself. Today I'm letting myself free to the world. Exposing my true inner self.
