Who is Your Future Self?

I’m empty. Empty headed. Can’t come up with a good idea. A complete sentence. A paragraph. I can’t tell you the last time I have been this way. I can tell you I don’t like.

In book club we are reading “Personality Isn’t Permanent” by Benjamin Hardy. Well, they’re reading it 😄. I’m not connecting with the book. I definitely believe people can change and who we are now may not be who we will be in a few years. I know I have come a long way. I have changed a lot of my belief systems and generally how I think and feel about myself and others. So I don’t know why I’m not loving this book.

There is one thing that he says that I am all for though. He challenges his reader to create a clear picture of themselves 3 years from now. What will you be doing? In what ways have you changed? Why do you want to become this person? These are some good questions. I usually don’t plan my life that far ahead. I set goals for the year of what I want to accomplish and try my best to make it happen. These goals are not necessarily steps to obtain the life I want to live in the future. They are just milestones to look back at and say, “I did that”.

With Hardy’s book and 30 Day Future Self Program, the 3 year plan is really concentrated and focused on changing yourself to become that person. To have the things that your future self would want. The business, the education, the marriage, the health, the wealth. I like this concept!

I have however, connected more with his 30 Day Future Self Program. It is a daily video that includes a question to answer to help you realize who your future is and what you want for that person. Anyone can sign up for the program and it is free. If you are interested in trying this program, here is the link:

He recommends you purchase the book as well. It gives a more in depth understanding if you purchase the book. The choice is yours. You may get all you need from the 30 Day program. I will say if you aren’t happy with the way your life is going right now, this will definitely be helpful. It can’t hurt. I wish for you and your future self to be well and whole. Much Love 🧡💚

“What It’s Like When You Find Out Your Friend Has Multiple Sclerosis?”

This is the last day of MS Awareness month and as promised, I have the recording of the Zoom with my friends. I am so happy that we finally brought this to the table and discussed it. I felt so much love and support. It was truly touching. As I said before, cuss words are present in this video. If you are sensitive to cuss words, I do not recommend this video. If not, enjoy!

I really hope that you were able to get something from this video. We had a great time. We even spent an hour talking after the recording. I can’t imagine life without these amazing ladies. They are truly my soulmates. Thank you Delanea, Sheron, Monica and Selena for being vulnerable and sharing your stories. Thank you once again to Samantha Vanderman and Shayla Russell for your contributions this month. You ladies blessed me. And thank you for being a part of my world and taking this journey with me. Continue to be well and whole. Much love 🧡💚

MS Effects Everyone

Hey y’all! I have been MIA because I have been tired as hell. Body tired, brain tired. Just tired. In the MS world it is called lassitude. Learned this in a presentation by Kimberly Pullom at my first MS support group 2 years ago. Lassitude is when your tired is tired 😫😆. Yep, that is a thing. It doesn’t happen too often so I thank God for that.
I was truly hoping to get more stories this MS Awareness month. I tried to bully people into writing posts. But I’m only 4’11” , not much of a threat, so it didn’t work too well 😄. It’s cool. I understand that everyone isn’t ready to talk about it. Ready to vulnerable with the world. So at this point my last two people have backed out. With my newfound resolve to become an ally, I am hoping to get acquainted with more people with MS and fill up every day of MS Awareness month next year with a different story. This was not a one time thing.
On Tuesday, there will be a Zoom call. This call will have 4 of my closest friends discussing “What is it like when your friend gets diagnosed with MS?” Damn that is so deep. I must say I have been so selfish throughout my MS journey. I have never thought how it must have been for my friends 🤯. MS doesn’t just effect the person who has it, it effects everyone around them as well. My friend Monica suggested a blog post from a friend’s perspective. I then converted that thought to a Zoom to include the women I have known since childhood.
A couple of things. We are some pretty hard-core broads. We don’t cry or show emotions well. I’m not bragging, just stating facts. But I am positive there will be tears and laughter. Oh and cuss words, lots of cuss words. They have already asked me could they cuss. Lol. I want them to be authentic and I want this to be a good experience for them as well. I am not putting any restrictions on them. For people who are a little more sensitive to cuss words, you may want to skip that post. We all talk fast and on top of each other and still manage to know what’s going on. It will be pure chaos 😆. As the moderator, I will do my best to make sure you all understand what the hell is going on and what is being said.
This Zoom will close out MS Awareness month 2021. Unless…someone wants to add anything. I am so thankful to the two beautiful young ladies who shared their stories with me, Samantha Vanderman and Shayla Russell. I have learned so much. I am always growing and trying to be a better person. And the bits and pieces I took from these ladies have been helpful. I hope you were able to take away something as well. Thank you readers for continuing to rock with me. Stay well and whole. Much love 🧡💚
