Hey guys Β π
Just wanted to give you a few quick facts about me in case you’re wondering who the insane genius is behind the words you’re reading:
I’m Renee and I currently live in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I love to travel – moved to Texas after graduation for a bit, ( loveeee texas) but realized I love my family too much to leave them 1,700 miles away. Maybe I’ll move back when they croak π
I grew up loving reading, writing, and … finance! Got accepted to business school as a freshman but turned that down because for some weird reason I chose a science path out of the blue. Four years later I graduated college with my Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing and worked as a registered nurse for about two years. Once I got fired (eeeeek) from my last job – I decided to figure out what the hell I really want with my life.
I want to laugh. I want to dance. I want to be a writer, a nurse, a musician… I want to be happy.
I’ve struggled with lots of shit in my life (self, family, and social) – alcoholism, abuse, depression, cheating – Β the list goes on and on. It took a toll on my own self-esteem. I’ve sabotaged my own happiness and success multiple times.
I’ve learned and am still learning that finding a way to laugh each day makes life more beautiful – and that’s what I want to share with you!
Oh, and I just got a dog. I’m pretty obsessed.
Sounds like you are in your adventure that has not yet come to it’s destination! π What kind of dog?

Oh, that’s correct – not even close to it’s destination… but I’m trying to enjoy the journey because that’s what makes you the person you end up being once you do reach that destination!
I got an Australian Shepherd. He’s the new love of my life. π

What’s the relation between having a dog and being obsessed?

Oh, geesh… I’m figuratively obsessed WITH my pup, that’s the relation. I was trying to imply that he’s an awesome dog and that I tend to spend the majority of my waking hours with him! Ha

Looks like you came to the same conclusion: It’s better to laugh than to have a heart attack from all the stress. You should’ve seen my anxiety level BEFORE I came to that conclusion. π

Sorry about all your stress – but I’m glad we came to the same conclusion! It’s a struggle some days to remember to laugh or “look on the bright side,” but it’s better than having the stress ulcers and headaches!

Well…I had to have teeth pulled before getting rid of the worst of the headaches, but I’ve dodged the ulcer bullet…so far. π

Being fired as a Nurse may have been the best thing that happened to you…I love it and have been at it since 1987 but, would NOT choose it as a career now! I banned my kids from becoming Nurses lol!
