There is a lot going on in the world right now. Hurricane Melissa is attacking Jamaica on its way to Cuba, people are about to lose their SNAP benefits, and we are living in a world that has flipped over on its head. It is something every day. No running from it or no hiding. Unfortunately, we have to go through it.
But we are not going through it alone. Make sure you surround yourself with people who makes life a little better. It helps a lot.
These special people can get you through, with love, laughter, and the support you need.
Today marks the start of my own personal new year. I stole that from a book I recently read titled When Forty Blooms by Jacinta Howard. It was actually a good book, definitely one of the better ones this year. In the book, her friend challenged her to do something different each month of her 40th year. I normally think there is something I want to accomplish at a certain age, but I have not made it a point to set a monthly goal/activity. I usually reserve my goals for the start of the new year. Well, today, I am going to approach life a little differently. I am setting goals for my personal new year. These are just off the top of my head, things I have been thinking about.
Goal #1 – Take better care of my hair.
Lately, I have been so bad with my hair. I’ll wash it and then let it sit for a week before I style it. My hair is usually dry and begging for moisture. It needs at least a leave-in conditioner. I think I take advantage of the fact I have thick hair. Which I know is wrong. My lack of love and care is not good for my hair.
Goal #2 – Be well and whole.
For as much as I tell y’all to be well and whole, I have not been doing the same. As I have said before, I need to get my shit together. That would look like, consistently taking my medications, drinking more water, intermittent fasting, and seeing a therapist This sounds easy enough. I guess we will see.
Goal #3 – Create and wear my own clothes.
I want to start wearing clothes with my blog name on them. It can be the top, bottom or both. I am always wearing someone else’s clothes with their name or business on them, giving these people free advertisement. Lol. Why not promote myself instead? I have to pick my logo, font, and color theme, which sucks because I have a hard time making decisions. I’ll figure it out though.
I feel like these are some good, reachable goals. And they are all to my benefit. Can’t beat that! This personal new year is going to be one of a kind. Don’t be like me, be well and whole. Much Love 🧡 💚
I have had this post I have been trying to complete for days now. The stupid app is still acting up. Smh. I didn’t have a back up post today. Even though I want to write daily, my brain is tired today. I can’t come up with anything this late. The only thing I can say is, I can’t stand when things don’t work as they should. Especially since we are in this technological era. While they’re working on AI, they need to be focused on mastering the technology we already have. This shit is faulty and annoying.
I am hoping for a better day tomorrow for me and you, just in case you need it. Stay well and whole. Much Love 🧡 💚
