How is 2018 treating you? Here are the highlights from my first week in the new year.

Day 1 of 2018: On my way to work I received a sign that “perhaps all I need is patience and persistence to attain my goals.”

Day 2: I discovered that I must face the inevitable, which sometimes means losing daily contact with someone who means a lot to you.

Day 3: I decided I’m no longer willing risk anything, including my health, for the mundane

Day 4: I refused to allow my disability to be a deterrent to accomplishing things in my life

Day 5: (my favorite day) I learned to embrace my inner Badass. In case you missed it, a new article about me inspired me to recognize my uniqueness:

“If you haven’t heard of Nika C. Beamon, get on board. This author, Journalist, T.V. Writer and producer has some amazing stories to tell, best of all, her own.”

Day 6: I was forced clear my mind so I could heal my battered body.
