Finally at Peace

I don't know why I've been putting off writing this blog for so long. Writing has been a therapeautic escape for me but for some reason I couldn't write. But this morning, I had the knawing urge to write.

I'm currently sitting in a Starbucks on Keesler Air Force base deep in thought and reflecting on the past year. For the first time in months I can truly say I'm happy and at peace.

For many of you who know, this year has been totally transformative. I went from being unemployed, frustrated, stuck in a dead-end job to making the best decision in my life by joining the United States Air Force. This decision was not easy; it took alot of patience, prayer and uneasiness to finally take the leap. After eight-weeks of military training, away from my loved ones and friends I realized I need to appreciate the many blessings I already have in my life.

I give most of this credit to my loving boyfriend who inspired me to join the service. I've seen through him that with hardwork, perserverance and motivation anything is possible.

I feel like my life is starting to begin and I'm excited for a promising future in the Air Force.
