When everything is spinning (and why I’m stepping away, for a...)

Shopping

When you feel like you’re in turmoil, everything is spinning, and you have no control—that is when the tough stuff happens. Decisions.

Taking the time to think, weighing the pros and cons, and being still before making a move is hard. Especially when your heart knows that something must change. The fact is, we can’t change anyone else; we can only change ourselves. I hate that! It makes me want to stomp my feet like I’m four years old.

But because of that, I am changing things up.

First off, I am taking the month of March to regroup. We have three more weeks of February together, but behind the scenes, I am renovating. It is so exciting, but as most of you know, I’m a one-woman show over here. I need the time to learn a new program, get some new photos, and breathe life into this next chapter.

I started It’s Bizzy to give back. I wanted to be a light in the dark for people struggling to get sober. But lately, I’ve found myself sitting at my RØDE soundboard with my Shure mic, and I realized: I don’t want to talk about the "struggle" anymore.

I want to talk about the rest of life. I’ve realized that I am "Multigrain Bread"—I’m full of nuts and berries and seeds, and I just don't fit into a single, boring box. I don't want anyone else who feels "different" to feel pressured to fit into a box either. I want to share that I am different; I’m managing just like we all are, but let’s do this in a fun, light, and loving way! You might even hear me talking more about the joy of shopping—finding those hidden bargains and the therapeutic magic of getting lost in the racks at a great store.

I want to explore:

  • The ‘Nuts and Berries’: Why friendships change as we age and why that’s actually okay.

  • The ‘Texture’: Navigating family dynamics and the politics of our world without losing our peace.

  • The ‘Seeds’: Relationships, Mahjong, laughing, and the things that make life "crunchy."

I need to laugh more. I need more light, more fun, and more authenticity. Life doesn’t need to be heavy or burdensome; it needs to be silly. I love mermaids and Tinkerbell because they are whimsical and light—I need more of that in my world.

My wish is that you will stand by me while I regroup. One thing I do (and I know I’m not alone in this) is try new things. I’m constantly throwing ideas against the wall, hoping they stick. I keep throwing and throwing!

That is my real message today: Don’t give up. Keep trying. Keep moving forward. Each day is a new day filled with hope.

Have a wonderful weekend, and I’ll be back next week.

XO,

Bizzy
