WELCOME to my blog, 'Knetris, The Word Nerd!!'
I guess I should begin by saying, 'Happy New Year!' 2023 has officially arrived and I am SO excited! This is the 10th year that this blog has been on the scene. Myself and this platform have grown tremendously just in the past 2 years! It was actually deactivated from 2013 (which is when it was created) until 2020! I tested positive for COVID January of 2020 and after my healing I began writing again and have NEVER looked back! God blessed me with the wonderful opportunity to write for 6 months as a Contributing Writer for SHEEN Magazine from October 2021-April 2022! Since then, I have been blessed to add to my resume an ongoing freelance writing position for Thought Catalog, Collective World, as well as DoingGoodTV! I am super happy with where my writing career is headed! I am so excited to announce that I have had the idea of writing a memoir about my life for the past 10 years and as of 2021, I AM WRITING IT!!!!! There are still lots of technical issues to work out, lots and lots of writing to be done but hopefully, I will be done before the end of 2023! As soon as more details become available, I will post them.
This week on my 'Motivational Monday' series, I would like to talk about growth! So, I used to have a very bad habit of driving to McDonald's and buying their sweet tea. It's $1.00 per cup. It's soo good! BUT not only does it leave the most horrible aftertaste but it is so bad for you. The sugar content is through the roof! I had a decision to make. I could continue putting the poison in my body, which was the tea that costed $1.00 OR I could find something else to drink. I started drinking more water. When I felt the urge to have something sweet, I started going to Panera Bread. Their sweet tea cost $3.50 but it was still tasty minus the aftertaste and all of the additional sugar. It cost more but in the long run, my body was healthier and I found that I didn't have to have it but only once or twice a month. Unlike McDonald's, I was going there EVERYDAY! Ugh!
The moral of my story is, we have to grow in life! Although we have choices, we will suffer tremendously if we choose to remain the same. I had to learn that even though the tea from McDonald's was delicious and cost less, it was ruining my health AND it was full of 'sugar!' The tea from Panera had less 'sugar' and allowed me to learn to not be addicted to comfort. That comfort zone is not home, it is a cage! It is amazing that today, I only want water! I made the choice to change my level of comfort and it has taken me to levels that I never thought I could reach so fast! It may be time for you to grow and step outside of your comfort zone! If that is you, I hope this post kickstarts your journey! Every 'Motivational Monday' I will be here helping you along the way!!
Have an amazing week, Love!
