WELCOME!!

Welcome to CMB Life Connections! Come on in and make yourself at home! Words cannot express how excited I am to be in this space with you! This is a place where you and I can relax and chat about some of the things that are important to us. I created this space so that we can discuss our thoughts on self-acceptance, self-love, and self-care. I’ve actually been wanting to do this for quite a while, but the time just never seemed right. I always seemed too busy with work, or school, or just life! I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. I mean, we get so busy with doing everything we HAVE to do, that we hardly ever get to do the things we WANT to do. What’s kind of funny is that not much has changed in my life except my perception of what the right time looks like. I simply decided that now is the right time because there’s never a perfect time to start anything. So, here we are! Together at last. I’m so thrilled to take this journey with you!

So, Who am I?

Glad you asked! My name is, Christine, but you can call me Chrissy…my friends call me that.  I’m a southern girl, born and raised in Alabama. I’m my mom’s only child, but I have tons of cousins. I’m a self-proclaimed coffee connoisseur. I try not to do anything that requires me to think too hard before I have my coffee! I’m a total foodie, and I love to cook. I enjoy checking out locally owned eateries and markets too. I’m slowly trying to become a little more outdoorsy. I’ll keep you posted on how that goes!

I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker, and I’ve been in this field for 14 years. I absolutely love what I do, and I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else! My passion is helping people truly live their best lives. It brings me so much joy to see people living whole, healthy, happy, and fulfilled lives. Growing in self-love and self-acceptance has been a challenging, yet beautiful and life-changing journey for me. I believe it is somewhat of a calling for me to help others who are on their personal journeys too.

May I Be Honest With You?

This almost didn’t happen. No, seriously. I was one click away from deleting everything I’d written. I’m just saying, to talk with you about my journey in self-love, self-acceptance, and self-care means that I have to tell you some things that I sort of wanted to keep to myself, you know?! LOL!

As I was sitting here writing my first post, I thought to myself, “Chrissy, are you really gonna tell them that??” But to my surprise, the more I wrote, the more secure I felt about this leg of my journey. Wow…sometimes you just need to take a moment to look back and appreciate how far you’ve come and how much you’ve grown. As the saying goes, I may not be where I want to be, but I’m surely not where I used to be. I am thankful.

In a way, this blog serves a form of accountability for me. It keeps me aware of what’s most important; my wholeness and my happiness. It’s actually become one of my favorite ways to practice self-care! I am so happy that you’re making it apart of your self-care regimen too. We are not on this journey alone. We have each other. Let’s do this together!
