A need for Introductions

Hello there!

Finding a place to start is a tricky thing. You think that you should start at the beginning when writing a blog about your life, right? I’m not so sure that’s the way to go in this situation. I feel like I should introduce myself. Give you some background on where I am now before I tell you how I got here and that is a long road to be sure. It honestly goes way back to childhood but let’s not jump that far back yet.

My name is Alyse. I am 29 years old and a Scorpio. I love science and nature. Being outside in the woods exploring is one of my favorite things to do and I don’t get to do it nearly enough. I would love to be able to make a career out of that, but it just hasn’t worked out for me that way. Currently, I am in a career where I do get to do some environmental science work but it’s just not very fulfilling work for me. I have started looking elsewhere for that since I cannot get it from work. I also struggle with depression. It hasn’t been diagnosed or anything, but you can just feel when the depression settles in on your life. I have anxiety too, but I feel like the world that we live in is so anxiety inducing that its hard not to. I have self-esteem issues too and they’ve been there for ages. As I have become more aware of my traumas and bad habits, I have done a decent amount to try to counteract my negative coping mechanisms. In the past few years, I have become a better, happier person because of that. It’s slow, hard work but its worth it in the end.

I started a business very recently working with an MLM. I did it because of that fulfillment I was looking for plus the financial freedom I knew I could obtain. I was super skeptical at first, but it has really turned into a beautiful thing for me. It’s not even about the money, it’s about the connections I’m making. The group of women I am working with are so empowering and supportive that I feel like I can accomplish anything. It has really inspired me to start exploring my creative side again, so I signed up for a stained-glass course and I’m super excited about it. I feel like this along with stained glass making can help me find a creative outlet so I can start feeling more fulfilled in my life. I don’t want to sit in the office everyday and work a boring desk job. I want to be able to travel and be creative and think outside the box!

Part of this blog will be me learning how to run a network marketing business and learning how to create stained glass art works. Some of this blog will be me sharing my story, my traumas, and my healing. It will be a forward journey as well as a backward journey because “The way forward is sometimes the way back” -The Wiseman from The Labyrinth.

With all the light and love,

Alyse

P.S I want this blog to be a conversation between myself and my readers. Please feel free to contact me and ask me questions or tell me something that really resonated with you. Thank you! <3
