30 Day Challenge-We Gotta Start Somewhere!

Whew Chile! It has been a minute, I know. How are you? I pray all is well on your end. ?

So, lets get right into it. If you don’t already know, I am here to tell you that ya girl is all the way a Pinterest junkie, fanatic, all that and then some. I basically live over there. So, I ran across a post that I really want to take into consideration when it comes to my personal life. Sooo, of course I wanted to share this with you!

Now, before we start let me just say this first. I do not have my life all figured out and by all means I do not have it all together. Especially these days. I do not want to come off like, ya know, some condescending butt hole because that is not the goal at all. I will say this though. Somethings do come natural to me. Whether it be because of my characteristics. Things that bring me joy. Things that come as a natural habit. Or even if it’s just my pure being.

I am a organized, neat freak! I believe that a clean space allows a clear mind. I am a natural born bookworm. I prefer a book over a tv any day. (I get it from my momma.) “If you want to achieve something in life, you must first write it down.” I absolutely love writing. So yeah, a journal and a planner is like tooth paste and a tooth brush for me. I do not run unless something is behind me, but I will walk you to the end of the earth.

I just recently had a very humbling experience happened to me and I am very clear and not so clear about a lot things these days. So by default a few of these things I started a few weeks ago without thought. Now, with that being said. LET’S GO AND GOOD LUCK! ??
