Hi! Today I turn 32! I can’t believe it has been Hi! Today I turn 32! I can’t believe it has been a whole year since COVID/quarantine started. It’s been both an eventful yet in some ways uneventful year. I want to thank you all for checking in on me! I haven't been posting lately because I needed a break from social media to focus on myself. Covid, grad school, social isolation, PhD applications, and a neck injury causing huge amounts of pain were a lot to handle! My pain levels skyrocketed when quarantine started.

But here is what I’ve accomplished this year!

✔️ I applied and got accepted to PhD programs! More on that soon. 

✔️ Will soon be graduating from my Master's in Biochemical and Molecular Nutrition from Tufts University. 

✔️ Have learned to manage my neck pain. Work in progress everyday. Went from having multiple headaches a week to now a few a month. I’m still in pain everyday but have learned to manage it better! Still a work in progress! My physical activity is still very limited but I hope as my pain gets under control I can try don't more things. Lots of neck relief acupressure products, physical therapy, massage, magnesium oil, and Excedrin migraine. And trial and error with things that didn't help -> dry needling (awful!). However, sometimes stress and hormones are out of my control and lead to horrible migraines. 

✔️ Have connected to new people and made some new friends! Even in quarantine! 

✔️ Learning to play the guitar and trying to get over my fear of singing in front of people 🎸🎤

✔️ Learned to make Paleo ice cream 🍦🍦🍦

✔️ Moved back to Miami to be with family 🌴🏝🏖
Happy Thanksgiving!!!! I wish you all a wonderful Happy Thanksgiving!!!! I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving with loved ones either in person or virtual and to make the best of these crazy times we are living in. 

These past few weeks have been incredible stressful trying to coordinate my move from Boston to Miami in the middle of the semester, coursework, PhD Applications, and family members testing positive for Covid. 

But Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful. A time to be with family and loved ones. This year has been marked by social isolation. I am so grateful to be able to spend this Thanksgiving with my family and that all are healthy and well. If it's one thing I am thankful about this crazy year - is more time with family. With classes virtual, I can be anywhere. And I'm so grateful for classmates who even though we can't see each other in person we help each other get through this crazy intense graduate program!

And I must admit. I am very grateful to escape the frigid Boston winters for a sunny tropical winter in Miami. ❄️🌴

What are you grateful for?
M is for Mother (and Macadamia Nuts!) Happy Mother M is for Mother (and Macadamia Nuts!) Happy Mother's Day for all the mothers out there and especially to my mom!!!! So grateful 💕💕💕
You guys! You know what is totally insane?! I comp You guys! You know what is totally insane?! I completely forgot about my 3 year concussion anniversary! ⠀
⠀
Maybe it's Covid-19, being busy with classes, being distracted chatting with friends old and new, or maybe it's the fact that I have a newer neck injury causing more pain than any of my concussion symptoms.⠀
⠀
In previous years, April 14 marked a day filled with tears, loss of hope, anxiety, and wondering if I would ever get better. ⠀
⠀
While I still have days filled with doubt and tears, I feel as if I am LIVING to my fullest! The reality is my concussion is present everyday of my life, but it no longer fills me with anxiety. It is part of who I am. It is part of my story, part of my journey. I wouldn't be where I am today without it. It's changed me for the better. ⠀
⠀
It's been a crazy 3 years of personal growth, resilience, and strength, but it's also been 3 years with incredible amounts of pain, anxiety, depression, loneliness, and stress. ⠀
⠀
I will keep fighting. I know there will continue to be days where I feel defeated and incredibly frustrated, but April 14 will no longer cause me pain!⠀
⠀
I am so grateful to have so many positive things happening in my life that April 14 came and went without me even noticing!⠀
⠀
And I have faith that this neck injury of mine will heal in time. Still working on fighting through that pain and anxiety from a new injury, but have to stay positive. For anyone dealing with post concussive syndrome or chronic pain - We got this! 💪💫 ⠀
⠀
And of course, I'm so thankful for this incredible TBI online community!!!! ❤️ ⠀
⠀
P.S. this photo was taken 3 months after my Concussion.
Happy Earth Day!!! 🌿🌻🌎 Let's take this mo Happy Earth Day!!! 🌿🌻🌎 Let's take this moment to be grateful for nature. For the incredible power it has over us - both good and bad. Nature has the power to destroy us, but it also has the power to heal us and renew us. ⠀
⠀
I don't know about you but spending time in nature and admiring the spring flowers is the only thing keeping me sane during these crazy times! ⠀
⠀
As much as I wish I was at home in Miami with family right now, I am so grateful for being able to go on long walks and admire the magic of SPRING! Green starting to grow and beautiful yellow, blue, pink, and white flowers coloring the landscape 🌸🌼🌷
Happy Easter 🐰🐣🐇💕 Happy Easter 🐰🐣🐇💕
Today I turn 31. It seems like yesterday that I st Today I turn 31. It seems like yesterday that I started the journey in this new decade. .
.
For a while, I thought that 30 was it. It was a big milestone that marked a big change in my life. But I wasn't sure I wanted to keep going. Everything seemed like it would just be downhill from 30 (as my nutrition and biochemistry textbooks love to remind me!)
.
.
But with each day that passes, I feel more and more grounded and comfortable in my own skin. I wake up each day more grateful for everything and everyone in my life. .
.
Every day I am more hopeful and excited for what is yet to come. This new life and career I have embarked on has set my soul on fire. Every year is more time and more opportunity in this journey of life.
.
.
30 was a good year despite the pain and challenge, I wonder what 31 will bring?! ✨💫
.

P.s. hopefully more days sailing in the Caribbean ⛵️🏝☀️
Happy Valentine's day!!!! ❤️ P.s. yes I know I Happy Valentine's day!!!! ❤️ P.s. yes I know I'm a day behind. 🤷‍♀️ But it's never too late to share love 🥰
