Thank you to my beautiful daughters, my big bro, my friends and gymnastics families who have helped get me where I am today - sane (clinically, lol) and hopeful.
With the loss of my business to COVID, in addition to a myriad of events that have completely changed the course of my life, I am happy to say I came out on the other side stronger and wiser. But I sure fell into a deep hole for several months, so deep I didn’t think I would ever crawl out.
After realizing Monkey Business was NOT going to be in business anytime soon, I started doing yard work and housekeeping for seniors in my area.
The day I reached into my bag of rags to buff up the shine on someone’s toilet and pulled out an old Monkey Business shirt, well, that was my straw that broke me.
For a month I drive around in a daze, from Victoria to stay with my daughter Jessie Sieben, to Malcom Island to hang with my soul sister Joanne, to a show home with an ocean view with my girl Rachelle Sieben, to Vancouver to spend time with my 64 yr old sister on the decline due to Alzheimer’s. Now THAT puts your problems into perspective people!
If it wasn’t for a few amazing friends and the staff at Oceanside Mental Health, I can’t say where I’d be today. I urge you to call OMH if you need help, or just to talk things over. That’s why they’re there😇
P.S. A huge shoutout to the amazing stylist who is the owner of Nanoose Bay Beauty Salon for my great new do! If you haven’t met that gentle soul, you best get in before December as she is rightfully retiring!
