INTRODUCING KRYSTA!

Hi family and welcome to my first ever blog! I am so excited about this opportunity to interact with you as well as share some personal information about myself that you may not know. For starters, writing is a long-lost art that I used to enjoy as a child. In elementary school I used to write poetry and perform it for friends and family. My most popular poem was titled, “If Spring Never Came”. I could still recite a portion of it now if I provoked! Lol as I got older I kind of shied away from writing but often found myself coming back to it when times were tough.

Little did I know, writing would be exactly what I needed in adulthood to get me through some of my hardest times in life. Take this moment to think. What is something that you used to enjoy doing but have placed it to the side for one reason or another? Maybe it's cooking, drawing, singing, or playing an instrument. That old pastime may be exactly what’s missing from your life that can provide peace of mind and happiness in rough times. Now take it from me, finding the time to incorporate extra activities in your life can be extremely challenging.

As a full time wife, mother, and Registered Nurse my time is already used entirely, but seeing how beneficial and therapeutic writing was caused me to make the necessary time. Use this time to tell me what activity you plan to restart. Be realistic about how you plan to incorporate this activity into your daily life to ensure success. Trust me, your mental health will thank you for it.
