Hi, I’m JP.

Well, here we are.

Starting off the second week of 2024.

Last week, I was relishing in the fact that I didn’t make it past midnight on NYE (even though all other nights I can).

This week, I’m enjoying some episodes of The Price is Right and my squishmallow named Rocky who is currently sitting beside me on the couch as I write these words.

Also, welcome to blog post #246!

This past week during my video call with my fitness trainer Ryan, we talked about energy that I have been outputting in certain facets of life (mainly in the dating world) that just haven’t appeared to align for me recently.

And honestly, I couldn’t agree more.

I have been the person who has chased others in the past and I should be the one that is getting chased.

With me, what you see is what you get.

I don’t hide anything and I’m honest and upfront.

I’ve always been that way.

So, I’m being honest and upfront in that my energy is not going to be exerted in the dating world during 2024.

A relationship takes work, energy, and lots of focus–and frankly, with the life I live currently, they are just not entities that I have time to invest in.

I need quality time with people that I love.

And, if the spirits allow for some fun, no strings attached moments on the side, I wouldn’t be opposed.

With that being said, I feel it necessary to re-introduce myself to the world with 10 fun facts about Mr. Sunshine.

1. After reviewing how much money I spent on DoorDash food delivery during 2023, I decided it was time to make a change. Therefore, I am now adding $50 more to my weekly offering at church to support our faith community because food delivery service is NOT something I should be spending so much money on…and our faith community IS.
2. I secretly want to be a male model on The Price is Right.
3. I LOVE ranch dressing, but Hidden Valley Ranch is the best. All the other brands just don’t cut it…at least for me.
4. Washing dishes continues to be something that I enjoy doing as a method of therapeutic relaxation.
5. Since moving back to Lititz and living the single life on my own in Sunshine Studio, I burn candles EVERY night. (That means, if you ever need to get me gifts, candles are a definite YES).
6. One of my personal goals for 2024 is to read 3 professional development books. One of those books will be Dare to Lead by Brene Brown. If you have other suggestions, please send them my way!
7. I have to sleep my head on two pillows at night.
8. Whiff Roasters coffee is currently my favorite brand to drink. SO many great flavors! You can buy online at https://www.whiffroasters.com/.
9. I just discovered non-alcoholic adult beverages called De Soi! Katy Perry is one of their CEO’s and they are super tasty! You can buy them online at https://drinkdesoi.com/.
10. My voice is the one you will hear if you call The Ephrata Performing Arts Center and get their voicemail message.

Well, folks.

There you have it.

There are obviously a lot more fun facts that you can learn about me, but only if you chase me.

No more chasing on my part.

Cheers to 2024.

Sprinkle sunshine always,

JP!
