A Few Moments To Myself

A break is needed

I am in production and continued training mode at work. That being said, my focus is on the grind and perfecting the roles I am transitioning through. I am also searching for a part-time WFH job due to the impending rent hike that’s just around the corner.

Needless to say, I need a break.

I want to enjoy all that I can during this coming week at my job, learn more, and devote my time to our patients. I also want to maintain a sense of self as I come to grips with the reality of going back to working two jobs.

I will return to this creative space with the Sunday features: Opening Lyrics To Songs That I Love and Sunday Microfiction next Sunday, August 10, 2025.

For now, please enjoy this groovy tune and a few posts from the past in my absence.

Breaks Are Necessary

And it’s time A Cornered Gurl takes one . . .

I will be away from WordPress from Monday, January 06, 2025, until Sunday, January 12, 2025. There are three scheduled posts for readers and visitors to enjoy in my absence. The comments have been turned off as I will not be logged in to respond to them and congregate with you. I hope and pray that this week will be more than kind to everyone who has ever visited this site.

I wish you love, peace, joy, and strength as the week morphs from beginning to end.

Peace and blessings.

A Short Break

Hello, beautiful people. I have decided I need to take a short break away from WordPress. It’s long overdue.

I will be back at it next Tuesday, March 26, 2024, with the next “A Tuesday Snapshot” photo prompt. I hope tomorrow and the upcoming weekend and Monday will be kind to you all.

For now, I’ll leave you with a few images of a dish I cooked last night: coconut curry shrimp (jumbo) with red & green peppers, Roma tomatoes, fresh garlic, onions, spinach, and Jasmine rice.

I’ll see you guys next Tuesday. Be good to yourselves.

Peace and blessings.

Our Mindful Life

I will be preparing myself for the arrival of my kid sister this coming Friday. She’ll be here to celebrate her 23rd birthday with me, and I haven’t seen her in a little over three years.

I have work today through Thursday, and then I will have Friday and next Monday off.

I will return back to my regularly scheduled WordPress interactions and creative writing on Saturday, July 09, 2022, in the morning.

Here’s hoping Tuesday and the rest of this week will be a safe, enjoyable, loving, and blessed one for each of you.

Peace and blessings.

Alaska Bound

This evening, I will be traveling to Alaska for a full workweek. It has been incredibly long since I took an actual week off of work for vacation. I am going to Alaska, more specifically, Anchorage. My reason for this is to celebrate my friend’s upcoming birthday and to experience beautiful sights and landmarks. I have never been to Alaska, having a close friend who lives there will inspire many more trips in the future. I will soon be able to mark this off my bucket list.

But first, I am looking forward to this time away and my internet usage will be limited as I intend to totally immerse myself in my surroundings. I need this. My mind, heart, and soul needs this. I know for a fact that this will be a great experience, not just for me, but for my writing, my mental fortitude.

Jernee will be with my Mom. I picked her up yesterday and she and Jernee will have a week together to enjoy each other’s company and get reacquainted. My friend has a complete itinerary and everything I envision to do in Alaska, within my means, will be done.

To say that I am excited is an understatement, however, I am nervous too. I hate flying. It makes me severely anxious. I intend to take one Aleve capsule (to curb any headaches or backaches) before boarding and will read and sleep for most of the flight or, try to.

It is my prayer that each of you will enjoy your week ahead and that life will be more than kind to you.

Peace and blessings.
