Over the chill the history

Hello World!

Welcome to Over the Chill: A guide to life as a 30 Something!

First, I have to say thank you to all of my Family and Friends for encouraging me and supporting me through all of life's ups and downs. This blog is a step in the direction of focusing on my passions and goals. I hope you each enjoy this journey with me!

So, a few years back I told my best friend that I should write a blog about dating in your thirties because it has been trash to say the least. I just threw the idea into the universe and forgot all about it. Well this year forced me to revisit this idea among other things. Again, talking to the bestie, I considered writing a book dedicated to the hurts I had endured in relationships, particularly as a therapeutic process but I figured with some of the foolishness I've encountered it would be a great story to tell. Of course, fear got in the way, but my bestie in all her professionalism (She’s almost a licensed therapist) said hey do you really want to open and relive those wounds? This was not to discourage because I knew she would support no matter what, but to make sure emotionally I would be able to endure any reaction that came with baring my soul and secrets. Meditating on that statement I knew though I have reconciled those feelings I was not sure I could handle the reactions so I was canceling that idea. Then as a good friend does, she reminded me of the idea I put out years ago about dating in my thirties and my passion was reignited but not just about dating. When looking at my thirties thus far I'm like WOW it has been a journey so if I am going to write this blog I will only do it justice by talking about all spaces I encounter in life. I shared the idea with my little sister telling her I needed a name because she is one of the most creative people I know and this is how Over the Chill was born.

Again I hope you enjoy this journey with me!

Cheers🍸
