Good day, Lovelies. How are you all doing? I’m doing alright. I’m being more mindful of my health and, truly, madly, deeply, trying to take better care of myself. After being sick, I’m no longer taking my health for granted. Without good health, true happiness can not exist. So yes, Lovelies, take good care of yourself and be well. In a later post, I will share exactly what I’m doing to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Hopefully that can also inspire you to take better care of yourself. Similarly, I’m also trying to stop worrying so much. That has severely impacted my health.

Ya, seriously, Lovelies, I’m always worrying about something or another. I worry without realizing it. It is what I do when I have problems. Which is a really bad habit. Look how my health has suffered. People always say, “Why can’t you just stop worrying? It is not good for you.” Like it is that simple. If it was, I would have stopped worrying long ago. Yes, I have been worrying since I was young. No wonder my health is not at its optimal. Nonetheless, sometimes you realize you need help, and you learn to ask. For me, that takes the form of different apps I use. Yes, I have to pay. I don’t mind, as my health is priceless. I truly realize worrying doesn’t solve anything at all. It creates more problems. Your brain is just thinking about the same thing over and over.

Yes, thinking is good. When you think too much, then it truly becomes a problem. Your life begins to feel out of control. Which can turn to severe anxiety. Lovelies, I’m now in my forties, and I decided to get help for my excessively worrying mind. I know it is not simple to just stop. It has to be a commitment you make to yourself. A sweet commitment of self-love. If you ever feel you need encouragement, leave me a comment. I would be happy to help. Get the support you need from this lovely community. No judgment zone of acceptance. Never feel ashamed to ask for help. It takes a lot of courage and strength. Mental health is health and is often the most overlooked. It was lovely chatting with you all. I will see you all tomorrow. Have a great day or night, wherever you are in the world. Bye, take care with sweet love.

Hello Lovelies, how are you all doing? I’m doing okay. Ya things have still been difficult; note my absence from this wonderful platform. Gosh, I really don’t know where to start, honestly. You know what, let me start with being honest, as I’m always authentic with you all. My illness returned with another problem: swollen feet. I was put on medication for that. Lovelies, you never realize how precious your health is until you lose it. It can keep you from working as you don’t feel well. As well as cause you to lose some much-needed motivation. Honestly, though, I never forgot about you guys.

Yes, guys, back then, when I first started creating this lovely site. I just wanted to share my own personal account with you all. There was a lot of passion, and it was something I was going through at the time, so creating content came easily. Then gradually my self-doubt began to take hold of me. Each year should have been the year, but just never was. My journey of self-doubt and depression is ongoing. Which is fine. The goal is never to deflect and be happy. The goal is to keep going no matter what. This site has been part of my life for many years now. I have grown, and this site has grown with me. As I’m writing this, I’m reflecting and searching my Franchy heart. You guys really mean a lot to me, and it is always my pleasure, truly madly deeply. I promise you guys I’m here to stay. As we come up on year 11, I’m very grateful you guys are still here.

Wow, 11 years is a lot. A lot of reflecting, a lot of authenticity. Many late nights and early morning blogging. Today, I wanted to add an alternative way to keep in touch. It is on Facebook. A Facebook group, to be more exact. If you are from here, send me a message and let me properly welcome you. That way, we are always connected. Let me reassure you that my absence in no way reflects my feelings for you all. Things just happen, and I have been truly sick. You guys mean the world to me. I love you all, truly, madly, deeply. Take care of yourself. I will see you all next time with sweet love.
