Wrap ups  /  January 6, 2019

Ringing In The New Year // Weekly Wrap Up

FacebookTweetPinEmailShares6
Weekly Wrap Up is a weekly post in which I recap the week, showcase new books received, and highlight what’s to come! Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga’s reviews & The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. 

Hello!

Happy New Year!

Blog & Reading

  • I finished my first book of 2019! I had hoped to finish it before the end of year, but you know how that goes!
  • My 6 year blogoversary is coming up this month! I can’t believe it’s been 6 years!
  • Have you heard of the Read Me Romance Podcast? They share a small portion of an audiobook the entire week.  It’s actually quite fun!
  • I plan to post my first recipe soon! Check the poll and vote for what you’d like.

Life

  • Not too much to report. I turned down one promotion at work. While it’s a pay increase, and something new to learn, I don’t think it’s a good fit for me long term. It was a hard decision!

Fitness

  • I’ve been pretty consistent working out lately. I’ve had to change some workouts, which is… not ideal but it seems to be working. Today is weigh in day and I’m nervous. Gaining weight you worked hard to get off, sucks ass!

Share with me:

  • How was your week?
  • What January 2019 release are you looking forward to?

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?

    Happy New Year Tonyalee! You’re my hero for working out! I know I feel better when I do, but I just can seem to find the time (or the energy, or the motivation…) to do so lately.
    Your new books look great – I hope you’ll enjoy them.
    Have a wonderful week ahead and happy reading.

    Wow 6 years! That’s an achievement. It’s also great you are taking care of yourself. We are trying to fit in time as we just signed up at the Y but first the holidays and now my daughter has her continuing health issues. Enjoy your books! Anne – Books of My Heart
