Weekly Wrap Up (92) | Back to the Daily Grind

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. The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

Hey Hey!

This past week was a rough one. First full week back to school & work after the holidays usually is. But work is stressful as well. It wasn’t really the way I wanted to start out the new year – but, things happen. ha

I have some exciting things coming up this week. It’s my blogoversary! YAY! I have an announcement on that day – which I can’t wait to share. Plus, I may be participating in Jessica’s new reinvented feature – Monday’s Musts- but here and there! For this feature, we share Must Read Must Listen and Must See. It’s such an awesome new feature!

Not much else happening besides all that!

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?

    In case I miss it, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! Also I think it’s hard for anybody to go back to regular programming after the holidays. Heck I’m not even ready to go back to work still and it’s been a week already. lol

      Yeah it’s hard. Work is just all around stressful so that doesn’t help at all. 🙁

    I hope you are enjoying This Is Where It Ends! I just read that one pretty recently and it made me fell all the feels. It was so sad and scary at the same time. So much was going through my mind while I was reading it.

      I did like it – I had some disconnect though that impacted my overall feels. I’m glad to hear you liked it. 🙂
