My Spring of Discontent has finally come to an end.
It was a lost season that didn’t include much content on the Stylish blog. I also questioned whether or not I should continue with my gender nonconformity journey as I’ve started to embark on my church tour. I nearly abandoned it so I would be on good terms if I was making an in person church visit.
It’s safe to say that I still need time to find the right one; also, my gender nonconformity journey is getting back up and running again. “Boo”, say the critics. Now maybe I can make the most of Rob and Sara’s Christmas gifts without looking over my shoulder at the naysayers and instead thinking of those who have encouraged me to make it this far.
Those who don’t like it are jealous because no one can slay as hard as me.
Rae and I came up with a thread on Facebook titled “At the Corner of Sigh and Slay”. Rae is famous for her sigh worthy posts which get a rise out of her mother. I’m famous for my slay worthy fashion which makes them all smile.
My church tour will resume on July 9, after the Fourth of July 🇺🇸 🎇 holiday. I’ve attended Allegheny Center Alliance Church and Victory Family Church online. Both churches I’ve been pleased with but the best I can do is attend online. I made a few trips to Community Church in Harrison City and I’ll do so again. I also plan on checking out Greater Johnstown Christian Fellowship (online) and watch the sermons on their YouTube channel.
This Saturday will mark my first in person Toastmasters club officer training event since December of 2019. It will be a hybrid event (just like our clubs since last summer as well as our past Spring Conference). For those who still don’t know, hybrid means that the event will be both in person and online.
For me it’ll be worth it to meet with other club officers who will be attending in person. I didn’t attend last winter’s club officer training due to work commitments as I had just begun my employment with Giant Eagle. The last few trainings that were online have gone very well. The best one being that December 2020 training where I was part of the Spirit of Toastmasters panel discussion.
This morning I was looking up towns in Pennsylvania and Maryland that would make the perfect Hallmark Christmas town. You know my little Stars Hollow makes the list, as well as Jimmy Stewart’s hometown of Indiana, PA. I might have something fun planned for later this year (I’ll have a paid vacation upon my one year at Giant Eagle which will be this November). I’ll discuss my upcoming plans in Friday night’s blog post.
I’m not wishing away summer and longing for Fall but, today’s cooler temperatures make me want a pumpkin spice latte really bad. There will more time for Fall and all the great things about it once September gets here.
For now, I’m looking forward to being me once again and hopefully inspiring my followers to be themselves again too. I want to give you guys great content and make it to 400 blog posts later this summer (my goal is to be at 450 by the end of 2022).
Bye everyone. ❤️ you.
