"9 Miles Meandering"

I Literally Have 2 Minutes to Write This …

So much has happened since I last posted on here. I was inspired, then I had a bit of an awakening, then I was down, then I was conscious, then I was open and honest, and now I’m ready to restart my life. I wrote an email to TDL this morning and got everything I’ve been going through the past 2 years off my chest. It felt good, and I hope if they post my story so it will inspire someone to keep going. 

Today I feel the need to reinvent myself and restructure my life once again. I feel like I do this every few weeks, but I think I’ve finally got it. Of course, these are just words, but I really do plan on following them up with some action for once.

First I’ll be relaxing for the rest of the weekend, catching up with an old friend and finishing a book series I have become addicted to. Then as soon as I’m done with the final chapter in the final book, I’ll take a look at each area of my life and decide what exactly I need to do to become the person I want to be. It seems TDL has read my mind because the newsletters from the past 2 days have all these inspiring quotes and articles about reinventing yourself and being authentic.

I’m really inspired, and now I must be leaving to meet up with my friend. Enjoy your weekend wherever you are. xo.


Feeling Good

I choose to tell an empowering story about my life! That was one of the affirmations in today’s Daily Love newsletter. I hope I’m doing that here on 9mm. Even if only one person comes across this journal, I hope the stories of my ups and downs makes them want to reevaluate their lives and make sure they are focusing on themselves and being the best they can be.

Today’s April 3rd, and like the title of this post says, I’m feeling good. I’m just so relaxed right now. I feel on top of things in my life and my career. No, I’m still unemployed, but last week I was asked to assist with an event tonight and I couldn’t be more excited. I plan to take this opportunity and run with it. I’m not all that nervous. I’ve helped out with events like this before, just not on such a grand scale. This is a great way to keep building up my experience as I continue my job search, plus it’s a great networking opportunity.

Over the weekend I decided it’s time to relaunch my other, currently dormant, blog. I took a little break the past few weeks to strategize how I was going to revamp it, and I think I finally have some direction. Plus if it doesn’t work out I can always take another break and go from there.

I’m going to go finish checking my emails before I head out, but I wish you all a great day!


So I’m taking on a new approach. Instead of trying not to make mistakes, I’m going to see just how badly I can f*#k up. I’m tired of playing small and playing it safe. I’m done with being stuck in the same spot, so I’m giving up my comfort zone and surrendering control. I know that the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward, so I’m going to take chances on behalf of myself and my dreams. There are sure to be some train wrecks along the way, but at least I’ll be playing full out and enjoying life to the max!

I can totally relate to Chris’ The Biggest Mistake You Can Make! post on The Daily Love. He was so focused on putting on a good show and not making a mistake that he ended up making a mistake. The same thing happened to me last month. I was so focused on accomplishing my 40/40 Plan that I didn’t really take my goals day-by-day. The overachiever in me had me doing too much at once, and in the end I f’d it up.

The great thing about life is when you make a mistake you can start from the beginning and go about it the right way.

Today’s April 1st. Spring has sprung, trees and flowers are in bloom, and I’m ready to begin again. Let’s go!
