What a journey it has been...40 years today. Boy has it flown by. It hasn't been a smooth ride but it has been memorable. Lessons learned and so many more new things await. Friends Ive met along the way and those I had to part ways with. Family who have watched me grow from that chubby little baby to the woman I have become now. To those that I have had to say good by too and are with me in spirit. Thank you for all the wonderful memories I get to take with me and thank you to all those that are still an active part of my life. Happy 40th Brithday to me...the new adventure begins..."This is for Myself, my goals, and my dreams". 😁😁

This summer is coming to a close a couple of weeks. Then Fall will greet us with the changing of leaves. I had hoped to accomplish so many things this summer to be ready for fall. Alas that attempt has failed. Being overwhelmed with work, kids, back to school, classes, breaking my business phone and managing my house there was no time left to do anything else. Even though I had failed to accomplish what I wanted to do... I did learn a few things that I thought I would share.

1. That even though I failed...I learned that I wasn't chasing MY dream. In some aspect it was a form of the dream I originally had. What was supposed to be simple kind of took on life of its own. Thus, making me lose sight of want I wanted to do in the first place.

2. "Keeping Up with the Joneses" is not something anyone should do. I keep forgetting to remind myself that I am working through the beginning steps of what I want. The only race I am in is with myself. I am only in competition with myself. I am also financing this dream myself with no outside help. So, I need to slow down and take it one step at a time.

3. My time management skills are lacking, and the things I need to get done are taking longer than the time I have in a day. I think that even if i stayed up for a week straight I still wouldn't accomplish what i need to get done. I need to figure out how to better manage my time while prioritizing what needs to get done. They say this is the most important one to accomplish more in the long run.

4. Social media is the key to helping run a business. I absolutely suck at keep up with social media. I can't even manage getting the website completed to start doing sells through that. This also boils down to prioritizing. I need to learn that when I sit down in front of this computer that there is no getting up. Not even if coffee is calling my name. Okay that's a lie I am getting up for coffee.

Ultimately, I have learned that I need to slow down and not to rush the process. One day at a time is the way to go. When you rush everything kind of starts to fall apart. In this moment I am writing this post and determining the best way to accomplish what i need to get done on my time not anyone else's.

All in all, it is most definitely okay for everything to fall apart and be messy at times. It helps us grow and learn.

Good morning!!

It's Monday! I want to leave ya'll with this simple little quote.

"You do not find the happy life. You make it" -Camilla Eyring Kimball

On the start to a busy hectic week it is often hard to remember that we are responsible for creating the happiness in our life. I know it's taken years for me to realize that. Always search for something I thought never existed. Here I am creating my own story on my own terms. It is bittersweet when you have to say goodbye to things that no longer fit...but its more exciting to find the new things that do.

Have a wonderfully blessed day!

Happy Wednesday! It has been extremely chaotic this past month that I have lost focus of what I needed and wanted to do. That now is the time that I just need to put my put down and get on the ball.

I think that with school coming to end for my kiddos it'll be a little easier instead of rushing through the day trying to got everything in. Wish me luck to get the ball rolling in the right direction. Even if I have to push and pull it's gonna be moving.

Have a blessed day!!
