My Name is Alicia Zinn. Welcome to my journey I hope you enjoy your visit!
I have a few updates coming but am currently on a break from a lot of things in my life. I am going to take some time off of social media as well as updating my blog. I need to take some time to recalibrate and refocus some things in my life that I have allowed to take me off track. I hope to be back soon but pretty much the month of July I will only be available via text or Facebook Messenger. Otherwise my social media apps will be off of my phone. So long to you all until August.
This has been the culmination of a long a arduous journey for me. It challenged my stance and I almost ended up down a road I didn’t really want to go down although I was strongly considering it. This is a follow up to my post in January called The Wait. I recommend reading that one first then reading this one. It has taken me longer to write this than I expected but it was necessary for me to see a situation through in order to really finish and share this with you.
If you read my last post I gave a quick intro to the philosophy of Stoicism. I mention it because some of what I am going to share is a result of my adoption of Stoic practices in my day to day living. Not much but some of this story was influenced by a quote from my morning exercise from Sunday. I have adopted a certain amount of discipline in bettering myself in every aspect of my life on a daily basic in some form (Spirit, Soul & Body). I develop my Spirit with the practice and study of my Faith, my Soul with the practice and study of Philosophy, and my Body with the practice of healthy eating and regular activity. Last Sunday morning as a part of my morning routine I was reading my morning Stoic Exercise and it had this quote!
If you are close to me or hear from me on a regular basis outside of social media and my blog then you know what this blog is about.
The last couple weeks have been so busy for me and as a result I have not been writing as much. I have so much to share but much of it will be shared over time and in different posts.
I have been using that hashtag since after my birthday this year. A lot in my life changed for me right after my birthday. #bettermeyear33 #aliciazinnreallife
Last week I wrote a post with almost the same name. It’s funny that the two subjects I currently need to talk about happened to be homonyms. My hope is that these little pieces of my life can possibly help someone going through something similar or even someone going through something different can find something to learn from my story.
This is the first of two posts with almost the same name. It’s funny that the two subjects I currently need to talk about happened to be homonyms. I was going to put them both together but feel it would be better to separate the posts.
Happy New Year Everyone!
I now want to invite you to be a part of this next journey. I welcome you to be a part of helping me grow. I am a work in progress but this year I am learning to show my work!
I wanted to take a few minutes to say from my family to yours have a very merry Christmas! I am keeping this short because I want to go be with my family! I do have a lot to share later this week as I close out the years so keep and eye out for my end of year review! I wish you all a very merry Christmas!
Well, part of this is sort of a re-post. But different at the same time. I shared my personal mission statement last year about this time of year because it is when I wrote it. Part of the reason I am re-sharing it today is because I am in the process of re-branding myself.
I know it might be a silly thing to say but it is kind of where I landed after a really crazy Thanksgiving week. I highly recommend taking a few minutes to read this story!
It is funny to me that this is kinda where I find myself right now. For the last couple weeks, my life has been slowly headed towards disaster.
One year ago today I started an incredible journey that eventually brought me back home to North Carolina. When I started this journey I never imagined coming back to North Carolina.
So first the context… I have recently started dating…. Well I guess dating is not entirely true yet. I have recently installed a dating app on my phone.
I have a crazy story but it is not Dating App gone wrong!
I highly recommend sticking around for the Insight!

Here are the many adventures of my second day in NYC from The Met and Grand Central to Katz Deli and DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) these are the pictures from my second day in NYC. (Quick Note the 360 pictures from the Subway and GCS will be on Facebook so you can interact with them)
I am in a season where when I look at the stars I have this feeling of both how big and small at the same time that I am in this universe. I have found myself in a season filled with potential.
These are just the pictures from my first day in NYC! Which also happened to be my Birthday! So I got to Turn 33 in NYC!
I'm sorry it has been so long since I have updated... This is partly due to some major changes that have affected my ability to travel and I have also had my schedule full trying to sort through some stuff emotionally also my I haven't had a chance to really edit the pictures from the last few weeks either.
