Today started a little bit slow but not as bad as yesterday. I really need some healthy breakfast ideas – HELP a sister out. No meat. Not a lot of preparation and something quick. Send me what you got.

I am working on food ideas. See my new reads. I also spent time trying to determine what music to listen to. A friend sent me r & b sounds, with positive lyrics. While I am embracing change and self-discovery, I had to have some consistency on this journey. So, lunch and dinner consisted of the same things, vegetables, fruit, and crab meat. I am getting bored with my food choices, and I have myself to blame.
Before this journey, I was consistently “boring.” I was good at being in a neat box, trusting what I know and doing what I was comfortable doing. I do not make waves; and I am good at quieting, calming other people’s waves. I am good at internalizing and compartmentalizing my own personal issues, keeping my peace during the day, I had a routine. At night, me and God would have heated fellowship, with joy coming in the morning – to start all over again.
Three days into this journey and my bubble is slowly collapsing. I am being “forced” out of my comfort zone. I am good at thinking outside the box; but now, I must come out the box and do outside the box. This journey requires transparency not only with others, but with me. Talk about embracing change and rediscovery! Why this avenue, in such a public way, is still beyond my comprehension. In all thy getting, get understanding but this is something that I am not understanding. I am sure in time; it will be revealed. I am asking God for clarity and understanding.
In closing, I spent most of my day putting out fires, solving problems, exposing some of my weaknesses and recognizing some of my strengths. I was hurting today, and I had a lot to navigate. But, at the end of the day, I survived, and I acknowledged to myself that I did good. I walked in purpose today. Now, I must figure out this food because I am hungry.
p.s. Google's been a key player in my self-discovery journey! Explore these helpful links that fueled my growth – they might just be your game-changers too!
