Weekly Wrap Up (91) | Happy New Year!

FacebookTweetPinEmailShares0

Weekly Wrap Up is a weekly post in whichย 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.ย The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted byย Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

Hey Hey!

Happy New Year! I am excited for what 2016 will bring! How did you ring in the new year? Me?ย We watched movies!

As you can see, operation CHANGE THINGS has started. This font is a little bit more on the popular side than I would like, but I love it so I HAD to use it!ย I have more coming (hopefully). My blogoversary is this month, so add that to the fun festivities!

In 2015 – I read 162 books. Not to shabby!

Iโ€™m finally on the path to following one of my d Iโ€™m finally on the path to following one of my dreams.

Iโ€™m starting school next month to pursue my dream of becoming a Midwife. Itโ€™s been a long time dream since having my first son 17 years ago.

Even though Iโ€™m in my 30โ€™s, Iโ€™m going for it. Donโ€™t let anyone, especially YOU, stand in your way.

Hello there! ๐Ÿ‘‹ Fancy an update? . Iโ€™ve been a Hello there! ๐Ÿ‘‹ Fancy an update?
.
Iโ€™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 โ€” Iโ€™ve been dealing with feeling inadequate in all aspects of life & blogging. Itโ€™s a personal thing Iโ€™m working on, but the struggle is REAL.

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

3) Reflectionโ€” again, Iโ€™ve been trying to do too much at once, and Iโ€™m not happy with the direction I was taking things. Iโ€™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 - Iโ€™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 youโ€™re struggling, know youโ€™re not alone! And Iโ€™m here to chat, too!

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Comment below Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Comment below โฌ‡๏ธ

It was a pretty boring weekend here - with the anticipation of Tropical Storm Isaias, it was better to stay indoors. Luckily, we didnโ€™t get anything but a bit of rain.

This week - Iโ€™m hoping to make it to the beach one day and finish up my first guide. Iโ€™m digging deep for some motivation but also ready to slay my goals! ๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ 

How do you get motivated for the week?

    Your new look is so pretty! Slightly hard to read the text on posts once they scroll on top of the pink flower, but that could be just me?

    162 books is awesome! I was amazed at how many I read this year since I wasn’t keeping track at all. *laughs*

      I noticed that too. I might have to either make the font larger, fun she it or make the flower smaller. Thanks for the input!

      How many did you read??
