Winner, Winner.

 So a few weeks ago, I saw this ad on Facebook for a boudoir photo shoot. This company out of Virginia Beach was giving away a session worth $650. I decided to step out of my comfort zone and enter the contest. Had to fill out a short survey and write a few paragraphs stating why I wanted to win. I just heard the news…I WON!! I’ll get a photo shoot with styling, hair, makeup, and a posing coach. I never win anything!!! I have a phone meeting set up next week, we’ll start planning my dream photo shoot. This is something I’ve always wanted to do, but never felt comfortable enough in my own skin to do it. Stepping out of my comfort zone these past few weeks has really paid off. I’m starting to feel like a whole new woman, and it’s amazing.

A Quick Introduction.

 Hi! I'm Jamie. I am a 39 year old, single mom with food allergies, who just got dumped while on vaction with the man I've been dating for the past year. Talk about an awkward six hour car ride home. But sadly, this is not my most memorable dating story. I once flew to the beach with a pilot I just met, and ended up in emergency surgery. This was after my failed marriage, where he left me for the neighbor. It's all funny to think about now, but clearly I have some stuff to figure out about myself. My therapist suggested a journal, but I thought putting my business on the internet for strangers to read would be more fun.  I figured this would be a good way to review the crazy foods I try, and the crazy dates I go on. This is all in good fun, and just a way for me to stay accountable to myself. I am going to use the next 30 days to really work on myself. I am already down 20 lbs since the end of April. I hope to start back to the gym this week, and will use this blog to docum...

15 Relationship Red Flags.

Another riviting article from my therapist. Apparently he thinks I am in some kind of hurry, even thought I keep pushing the Jamie Glow Up Era and I am enjoying my alone time. But in all honesty, I wish I would've read this article sooner in life. I could've saved myself a lot of heartbreak...  15 Relationship Red Flags What is a red flag in a relationship? If you haven’t heard of this term before, we’re here to break it down.  So, what’s a red flag? According to Merriam-Webster, a red flag is:  ‍ [verb] to identify or draw attention to (a problem or issue to be dealt with) [noun] a warning signal or sign  In our own words, a red flag is the suggestion, or warning sign, of potentially dangerous behavior from someone.  ‍ Red flags often walk right up to the abusive behavior line and sometimes even dance all over it — and crossing the line can easily happen.  Red flags in dating aren’t always obvious. That’s why we’re here to break down early red flags in a r...

A Wrench in My Plans.

 Life is weird. One day you think you need to drink hallucinogenic tea in the jungle with Amazonian shamans, then next think you know you’re suddenly getting your soul sucked out of your body in a random place with someone you met 5 days ago and the world suddenly looks different. It caused me to have a revelation. I was never the problem. My needs just weren’t being met. In any way, shape, or form. I am always the one to give and give and give. My happiness always comes second. It shouldn’t be that way. I believe God puts people in our paths as we need them, to help us navigate our journeys and teach us things. I feel so much different than I did a week ago. It’s amazing to have someone telling you to stop trying to be so perfect. Someone who encourages spontaneity and dance parties. Someone who shows up at my job with food and a diet Dr Pepper, just because they wanted to see me for five minutes and make me smile. I’m excited to see what the future brings. I’m not going to overth...
