Wrap ups  /  December 30, 2018

All The Updates // Weekly Wrap Up

FacebookTweetPinEmailShares2

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!

Long time to see! Check out All the Updates below!

Blog & Reading

  • As you can see, I’ve only posted twice since my birthday – I’ve had so many email and sever issues these past few weeks! I think it’s fixed, for good now, so yay! Now, just getting used to this WordPress update. Not a fan.
  • I’m still working on more personal and fitness posts! 🙂
  • I’ve starting reading/listening to self-help books. Which, for me is odd because I swore I never would. Is there a genre that you once swore off yet read today?

Life

  • On the home front, things have been busy! Work keeps me occupied; I’m torn between two promotions, which IS a good place to be in but stressful. And then there’s the boys, which are always a handful of fun. 
  • We had an awesome Christmas party with friends! I’m happy to say that everyone, save for one couple, was able to make it! We for sure need a larger place. House maybe in 2019?
  • I’ve been thinking about my New Year’s Resolutions and I am going to do something different this year. Watch for a post on that!

Fitness

  • I’ve been trying to buckle down on my nutrition and fitness; the holiday’s have not been kind to me. And no, that is not a New Year’s Resolution.
  • I got my own membership to the gym, so I can go when my Significant Other doesn’t feel like it, or is out of town traveling for work. Makes me HAPPY! 

Share with me:

  • How was your week?
  •  What is your favorite book of 2018?

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?

    I always tend to slow down at the end of the year. I haven’t updated the wordpress yet because everyone says it’s so awful but you can download a plug in to get it back to normal. I’m just too scared to do it.

    I hope you have a great week! Happy New Year!

    You had a nice holiday and yet you are also making plans and choices! Yay for the gym membership and making plans for yourself. We just got a YMCA membership but my daughter has been sick this week. I’ve been working away at various projects and plans, reading and cooking a bit more. ONE BOOK? It was a meltdown to post my Top 10! Anne – Books of My Heart
