21st November 2022 By Jonelle

I think it’s funny how people who read blogs expect chronological order… they expect the stories to make sense. I get it, I mean why would you read a story that’s completely out of order. You probably wouldn’t or you’d think the writer is a little out of sorts. And you’d be right. So that’s…

Hello, I’m Jonelle and this is my story.

Wow! This was a moment. Turning 40 when I almost d Wow! This was a moment.
Turning 40 when I almost didn’t live past 32. 
Grateful for every day of every year since then! 
Life is so precious and life is everything you make it. 

Thankful for all the opportunities I’ve had along the way. Thankful for all the people I’ve met and the leaps I’ve taken! 

Grateful to live where we do. 
Grateful for my family and friends. 
Grateful to live comfortably and never have to worry about being without. Such privilege in a world with so much struggle. 

Thankful for my pets who drive me nuts and love me endlessly. 

I’m looking forward to the next decade. Stepping more into myself and knowing who I am and what my boundaries are. The things I will not tolerate or accept. 

Just grateful for my life. 
The end. #HBD to me!
