The Life of Dayse

 Hello World!  Where do I begin? All I can say is...I made it!  I was wondering when I would gain the courage to get back on here and talk about my experiences. These days, I'm very private with my life.  It comes with age.  You learn in your adulthood. The less people know, the less influence they have on your life. Sometimes you need less influence to gain the courage to do the unthinkable.  So, I've decided to become an open book yet again. What can I say? When I think I'll stay away...I don't. Oh well, you'll just have to love me the way I am. LOL.  The good. The bad. The messy. All of it.  Ok, back to I MADE IT!  If you haven't read my last blog post, just take a moment and read...I'll wait.  Done? Perfect. Yeah. I MADE IT TO SOUTH KOREA!  I didn't just make it. I moved to South Korea to teach English. Crazy. I know.  I've been here a month, and I can finally share a little bit of the experience with you. I'm still in shoc...

 Hello beautiful people,  I know. I'm slack, but I promise I have good reasons. Living life is one of them , but I also tend to do things behind the scenes that only a handful of people know about...well knew about. I'm about to be very vulnerable with you. Remember the last post about passion?...well, a lot has happened since that post. I even went back to read it today, and I am grateful for the post. I needed to hear those words again. Last night, I was talking to my good friend, and I realized that I don't have a passion. (We already knew that Dayse...duh. LOL) Little did I remember about my post regarding passion. I was getting a little bored with one of my current jobs (yes, jobs), and I was contemplating changing my job. As I was waiting for my study session to begin, I sat in my car and researched " how to find my passion. " I took a mini test, and the results were spot on. It described me down to the smallest detail. I was mainly tickled, but I was inspi...

Hello World!  I'm back! Again...and again...and again. Let's face it. This is our complicated relationship. lol. At any rate, I have so many things I want to share, but I have to introduce them at the right time. In God's time. If you don't know, this is my lifestyle blog. I have a fashion/beauty blog as well, but I'll have to post something new later. It's kind of hard to always be an open book, especially when so much is going on in my life. Nothing is consistent, but I am at peace with all of the changes.  Through this journey of changes, I am discovering my love for reading again. As some of you may know, I teach. As a Kindergarten teacher, I know the building blocks for reading, but I've recently discovered the building blocks for the soul. As a Christian, many would say the Bible! Can I be honest? Sometimes, the Bible can be hard to read. I also hate the subject of history...or I thought I did until one of new york's times best selling authors put ...

 Hello World,  How do I begin to explain the feelings I'm having right now? I'm in the middle of a career change, and that means ... interviews, interviews, interviews . I'll let you know making a change in your life in your 30s is not ideal. The job market stinks right now, so I do feel like I'm having to settle for just enough. If you know me, you know that if I don't LOVE it, I won't commit to it. I'm torn.   I guess it's part of discovering my genuine interests and goals. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE children, but I don't love teaching enough to commit to it for a life time. At least, I do not feel like I could settle into the teacher role at ONE location forever. I feel like that's more of a retirement goal.  So what's next Dayse? What's next in my life? I guess that really depends on the job that decides I'm worth the investment, and the longevity of that position. I can make extreme choices that no one will understand, or I ...
