Wrap ups  /  September 10, 2016

Are You Ready for Some Football!? // Weekly Wrap Up 125

FacebookTweetPinEmailShares0

Weekly Wrap Up is a weekly post in which I recap posts, showcase new books and highlight what’s to come! Also, I share a pic of the week and share discussion posts that caught my eye*. Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga’s reviews & The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

Are you ready for some Football!?

Hey! Happy Saturday!

I’m super excited for Football guys! Fall is my favorite time of year for many, many reasons and that is just one of them! Since i am in a Fantasy league with other bloggers and readers, it makes it all the more fun too! I will be bringing back updates on our league – as seen below!

Fantasy Update: This week, I am up against Morgan and her team, Iron Patriots. I’m projected to win this week but the projects are hardly ever right. Plus, I’m pretty sure she beat me twice last year lol

In other news, things are looking up on the home front – but I’m still having issues with things after my accident. I guess I didn’t think so many different things would happen after, ya know?

Blog wise – nothing new to report! 🙂

Share with me:

  • How was your week?
  • What is your favorite season? Do you love football too?
  • What’s your favorite team?
  • What are you currently reading?

I am about halfway done with Girl in Pieces on audio and man. It’s hard to listen to. But I love it thus far. I am staring The Lost and the Found today. I was reading another NA book but it’s been like 2 weeks and I am only 100 pages in. I am setting it aside for now!

I’m finally on the path to following one of my d I’m finally on the path to following one of my dreams.

I’m starting school next month to pursue my dream of becoming a Midwife. It’s been a long time dream since having my first son 17 years ago.

Even though I’m in my 30’s, I’m going for it. Don’t let anyone, especially YOU, stand in your way.

Hello there! 👋 Fancy an update? . I’ve been a Hello there! 👋 Fancy an update?
.
I’ve been a bit absent from Instagram for the past few weeks. There are a few reasons for this, and I wanted to update you and share them.

1) Imposter Syndrome — I’ve been dealing with feeling inadequate in all aspects of life & blogging. It’s a personal thing I’m working on, but the struggle is REAL.

2) Time — Working, blogging, self care, family... and trying to grow this page was becoming too much and I needed some time to regroup.

3) Reflection— again, I’ve been trying to do too much at once, and I’m not happy with the direction I was taking things. I’ve been using this time to focus on my direction and what I plan to do.

Building up our brand and profiles is hard work - I’ve always know this. But working through personal struggles while trying to find my purpose and direction has been hard, too.

Have I figured it all out? Not even a little bit. But I have a plan, a path, and a goal.

If you’re struggling, know you’re not alone! And I’m here to chat, too!

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Comment below Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Comment below ⬇️

It was a pretty boring weekend here - with the anticipation of Tropical Storm Isaias, it was better to stay indoors. Luckily, we didn’t get anything but a bit of rain.

This week - I’m hoping to make it to the beach one day and finish up my first guide. I’m digging deep for some motivation but also ready to slay my goals! 🗡️ 

How do you get motivated for the week?

    Sorry, I have never liked sports fan of any kind. I actually hated all the local sports teams with a passion when I lived in the big city, since their traffic messed up my commute.

    I’m not a football fan or really a sports fan in general :-/ I pretty much only watch gymnastics and know nothing about any other sport lol. But I’m happy for you because you seem so excited! Good luck with your fantasy league 😀

    That is such a pretty cover for Moby Dick! I’m almost tempted to actually read it now even though it’s never interested me before lol. Have a great week and enjoy your new books!

    Hi there!! Did you win your match-up? I love football season and I love Fantasy Football! I actually tied my opponent last night. It was neck and neck the whole day. But those are my favorite kinds of match-up. Is there a book blogger Fantasy Football league I don’t know about? Becuase I think that would be really fun! I’m an Indy girl, so the Colts are my team. Wow, I love that my comment is about football and NOT books.

    OH, ps – have you ever thought about affiliate programs with your Etsy store? Because I LOVE my OBN keychain and if I read physical books, I’d want a bookmark too. I’d love to have an ad on my site telling fans (well at least my friends and family) to go buy hand made OBN swag from you! Just a thought. 🙂

    OMG That Fantasy league sounds like so much fun! I’m so happy you’re loving GiP. It took me a week or two to get through because of how tough it was to get through the story so I feel you. Fierce Reads was so good to you and other bloggers! That’s great 🙂
