Hello Anthill community,
Well…
I joined this community in hopes that everything would click—content creation, marketing, etc.—because being stuck in limbo is just no fun.
While in limbo, I gained wrinkles and stress because I was holding myself back for a few reasons: I was not ready, not comfortable, and I lacked enthusiasm.
I felt like the Mojave. Dry.
I’m not a dry person by nature.
I mean, I’ll stare at you and contemplate what to say in hopes of keeping the conversation going, because there have been moments when I should have refrained from saying something. Then I’d immediately regret what I said, realizing there was no way to take it back.
Truth.
Not to mention, this required commitment.
At times, I felt like the walls were closing in on me.
Feeling this way, I gave myself a red card. I needed to step out and regroup.
For me, I knew that honesty, integrity, and maintaining my self-worth were values I wanted to preserve.
There was something inside telling me to take a break. There was something more that I wanted to pursue. My heart wanted to be in that place—a place of serenity, peace, and excitement all in one.
Once I spotted it and truly focused on it, I dove in headfirst.
I finally found my purpose here.
Someone once said to me that I could have earned a PhD with all the schooling I had under my belt. (Ouch; 😅)
To this, I say: Schools don’t offer everything. They follow strict guidelines and are limited in what they can provide, and for that, they cannot be blamed.
At the same time, it goes to show that if everything were placed in front of us at the drop of a hat, we might intuitively discover earlier in life what truly brings us joy.
I’m here to say: Do not ever give up on what can bring joy to your life.
NEVER.
Keep searching.
However, we will always need to learn how to market ourselves...
Whether we are selling something or not—because we should be speaking up about the solutions we’ve discovered.
Therefore, I vow to never give up—and neither should you.
With much gratitude and joy to you all,

PS. I just looked up what “spiffy” means, and I am not even remotely close to that—LOL. Let’s just say I’m more down-to-earth. “Spiffy” is kind of an oxymoron for me. I like it.
PSS. The person who told me I’d be in school forever was my father. I love him very much! I laughed and shook my head at the same time when he made that comment. I think he was trying to uplift my spirit.
PSSS. Ummm… yeah, I really like this post. I’m going to save it for my future content. I wrote it, and I’m so proud. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!!! It’s amazing how much clarity I get when everyone else in the household is asleep.
