Happy May! // Bi-Weekly Round-Up

The bi weekly round up

The Bi Weekly Round Up is linked to The Caffeinated Reviewer Sunday Post

Hello! Happy May!

Blog

  • I’ve hit my highest views per month! Still not the best, but we celebrate the small successes, right?
  • Most of my Posts for May are written already – so more blog hoppin for me!
  • I rescheduled my photo shoot because I got a really bad sunburn last week!

Life

  • I mentioned in my Monthly Wrap-Up, I want to find a new job. I’m starting to wonder if I am a 2-3 year type of person. Either way, I’m just unhappy.
  • We put our house on the market! Someone put in an offer, and we countered, so hopefully, if all goes according to plan, and we close on 6/17.
  • I started a community library in my apartment complex! Right now, I only did MG and YA because I don’t want the kiddos getting into any adult books. If I get emails to add them, I will.
  • We have about 2 weeks left of softball – and I think we’ll be doing a Summer league, as well. 

Fitness

  • I started running again. We’re training for a 10k.
  • I haven’t been to the gym in a few weeks, sadly. However, I’ve been stretching and doing yoga!

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!

Real life is messy and not always picture perfect. Don’t strive for perfection but for progress.

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?

    Fingers crossed that the sale of the house goes smoothly. It’s such a long process (at least I’ve always found it to be). Hope you’re able to find something on the work front that makes you happy. I’ve been with the same company (in different positions) for 27 years. And I love it. 🙂
