Happy New Year

Hey everyone! I know it’s been a while since I wrote. This year has a been a crazy year. So many things happened this year. For starters Covid hit hard in my family and we lost my father. We were super close and I still find it hard everyday that he’s not around. I miss him so much. Luckily I have my family for support.

Secondly my mom is super stressed about her mothers house being sold. My grandmother passed away last year 2020, so this affected her in so many ways. She lost one of her best friends that she could turn to besides me. My aunts live so far away and couldn’t help her with anything, and this affects her mentally as well as physically. I just worry about her so much. But a happy side, the house was sold so she doesn’t have to worry too much more about that.

Thirdly I’ve been struggling myself. I feel like physically and mentally I’m falling apart. I gained weight and whatever I do I can’t take it off. So this year I’m going to try my best to do better for myself, even if it’s a small change. I need to work on myself more and exercise more. I am big yoga person and I need to do more of that.

A good thing that is coming out of 2021 is that I’m learning to become a yoga instructor. I love yoga and I hope to teach other students one day. I want to make them feel good from the inside out. The way I feel when I come out of a yoga class.

What I hope to gain this year is more writing. I have several novels started and they all have been sitting there on my laptop unfinished. I hope to accomplish this year at least one to finish. It’s been a few years since my last novel was self published. However, I did have a short story published through an actual publisher. You can find that on Amazon and it’s called 25 Servings of Soop Volume II. My short story is called Dead End Drive.

That’s all for right now, I hope everyone has a happy new year and that you find happiness and peace within yourselves.

Depression is no joke

People that deal with depression know how hard it can be to deal with things on a daily basis. People that don’t deal with it have no idea that people with depression are on the edge of self destruction.

One word or phrase can set them off. Take me for example, I’ve been suffering with depression for awhile which I hate to admit but I feel it’s important to be honest. A lot of things in my life have me down and the people I rely on the most are my support system. Sometimes however, those people can hurt you the most by saying something that can ruin your whole day. Everyday It feels like I want to cry, so when someone I care about deeply says something that could be hurtful even if they’re kidding, it destroys me. I want to crawl in bed and not come out.

Some people think it’s bs and that I can just turn off my depression but it doesn’t work that way. Those people will never understand.

If you know someone who suffers with depression, listen to them. Don’t turn your back on them.

A change…

So I wanted to change my pen name for my writing. It made more sense to me because there was someone else out there that had a similar name as me. So I changed it to M. Rose Bushéy. I think that sounds much better anyway. I appreciate the love and support everyone is giving me through this journey I’m on. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!!

A Change…

Hey everyone! I hope everyone is having a great weekend, some of you may have a longer weekend that others but I hope you enjoy it. I also want to wish everyone a Happy Easter if you’re celebrating. 

So I wanted to let everyone know that the workshops are going pretty well with the show that I’m in. It just started so it’s all fairly new to me. 

Also I wanted to let everyone know that I decided to go a different route instead of Amazon. I took my novel off of there and decided to go with Barnes & Noble. I also changed the title to Braver Than Yesterday because it honestly it just makes more sense. I’m very excited about it so I hope everyone takes a peak at it. Thank you all for your love and support. 

Have a great day!

Change

Do you welcome change? I honestly think for me it depends, I change my hair all the time, I don’t know why,I just do and I like it. But changing things like jobs, houses, things basically that are major life changes now that kind of scares me. There were things I could’ve changed a few times but because I have this fear of change I didn’t. I know I should get out of my comfort zone. There is a strange thing that is about me where I don’t like change but I am very impulsive. So it’s funny how I hate change but can change something in an instant but realize hey that’s not what I want and then I change it quickly. If you ask anyone that knows me pretty well they would say, “Yes she’s definitely impulsive, changes her mind all the time.” I don’t know what my deal is. 

So I just wanted to do a short little blog today just asking how people deal with change. Do they just do it, do they work up to it, do they not even do it? I’m just kind of curious because with me I feel like change makes me crazy but at the same time it makes me feel better. I change my living room around all the time, just ask my husband. He comes home and is like again. A few months back I changed my bedroom from upstairs to downstairs, loved it for a minute and then had to change it back to upstairs, I think my husband was going to kill me hahaha. 

Anyways I know today is Monday and they are the worst. Who made weekends only two days? I’m like who can seriously deal with that, but we have to. Okay I’m starting to go off on a rant so I’ll end it here. 

Have a fast and easy going Monday everyone!!
