Resiliency & Gratitude

     I have come to find that my writings tell a story. It is one of resiliency and gratitude. For a while I thought my writings were not connected. I’ve written poetry, fiction, a journal and a non-fiction book. Honestly, I thought “My collection is random and it doesn’t make sense.” Then one day I was on ClubHouse and the moderator, Teresa Hairston, told me that my writings tell the story of my resiliency.

     Not only had I never considered that idea, I never would have on my own.

     Today I got on Canva and created this video. In days to come I will expound on each book and tell why I wrote it and how I created it.

     My writings began with a marriage separation and now I am in a state of gratitude. In all things give thanks.

8 Weeks To A Swimsuit by Arlinda Christine

In March of 2020, after our governor announced a "Stay At Home" order because of Covid-19, I signed up with a local trainer who was offering an online workout program live on Facebook. I figured I could support a small business and maybe this would help me lose the weight that I had been carrying for years.

The end result was me discovering parts of myself that I never knew existed even though they were always present. As of this moment I have lost nearly 50 lbs and I have never felt or looked better. My days are now filled with at least 1-2 workouts, healthy meals and encouraging others that if I can lose the weight, you can too.
