Life Changes
Do you ever wonder about Life Changes?
I sure the hell do. 😂
Mainly because 2026 has been one giant WOW — OMG, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY LIFE?! — kind of year.
Things actually started changing for me before that. I can’t really explain it. I just felt a shift. Something was changing.
Then came the reality that my financial system was not working.
Go figure. 🤣
So along came the renter for seven months.
Now, I have beaten that story to death, so I won’t bore you with the details. Let’s just say the day I got my keys back was a DAY OF CELEBRATION. 🎉
Suddenly…
“Oh. Nobody is coming through the door.”
“I can play my music.”
“The house stays quiet.”
“This is MY space.”
“I don’t have to accommodate anybody.”
And I thanked God. 🙏
Then my niece, Ms. Alexa, came for a little less than a week.
My heart was so full of joy and happiness having her here. I love that little lady SOOOO much. ❤️
She hung out with my granddaughter, Layla. They’re about the same age, and the beautiful thing is watching them discover that they can become best 2nd cousins and friends for life.
Talk about my heart filling right over the top. 🥰
Alexa left Thursday.
And it was wonderful. It was fun. It was full of love.
And apparently my brain went:
“Okay honey… lovely visit… now everybody OUT.” 😂😂😂
I love people.
I just apparently love them even more when they go home. 🤣
And as if this hasn’t already been a year of WTF… NOW WHAT?!
I have a NEW JOB.
Yep.
After being pretty much an independent contractor since 2000, I am about to have a boss.
A schedule.
Somewhere to be.
Other humans to work with.
Three days a week.
Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday.
10:00–5:00.
Holy.
Moly.
😂😂😂
And let me tell you… I am feeling ALL THE FEELINGS.
“I’m excited!”
“I’m nervous.”
“Oh sh*t.”
“F**k no.”
“It is what it is.”
“Okay… let’s fu***ng DO this!” 🤣
I start in two weeks.
I just hope this rollercoaster ride gets me there in one piece. LMAO
But here’s the beautiful part…
I actually believe this position was written for me.
I applied.
Within a day, I was hired.
I have an awesome manager who is kind of like me — which I consider a VERY good sign. 😂
And somehow, even though technically I have a boss, I still feel like I’m my own boss.
I work three days a week.
10–5.
During Salem’s nap time. 😂
The pay is great, there’s commission, and I get to work with people and some really quality health products.
And THAT part excites me.
Because I love people.
I love health.
I love learning about health.
So… yeah.
Maybe the universe actually knows what the hell it’s doing. 😉
But DAMN, am I struggling with it sometimes.
I keep running the numbers on my base pay and possible commission in my head like I’m trying to convince my brain this is real.
“See?! Look at the numbers! THIS IS GOOD!”
😂😂😂
My brain:
“Yeah… but you’re going to have a BOSS.”
🤣🤣🤣
Anyone else out there going through some life changes?
I would genuinely love to hear about them.
Because sometimes just sharing your story helps.
Sometimes knowing we’re not the only ones standing in the middle of our lives going,
“Ummm… what the hell is happening here?”
makes all the difference.
And honestly?
Just writing this has me laughing at myself.
GOOD.
Maybe that’s exactly what I needed.
Because here’s what I believe:
The universe is calling us to change.
And sometimes we answer willingly.
Sometimes we’re dragged kicking and screaming.
But change is coming whether we’re ready or not.
And I have a feeling that by the end of 2027, we’re all going to look back at this time and say…
“WHAT. THE. HECK. HAPPENED?!” 😂
And maybe…
“Damn. Look how far I came.”
For today, though?
I’m heading to my happy place.
My garden.
My music.
A glass of w**e.
And not one single worry in my head about someone coming through my door.
No wondering if I need to turn the music down.
No accommodating anybody.
Just me.
My home.
My space.
My life.
And honestly?
It’s the little things in life that turn out to be the BIG things. ❤️
Love, Love,
Vicki
