Best Self 365...

Happy happy Monday, friend! 

I hope you guys are doing very well. I am back with another 'Mindset Monday' for you today! I saw another IG influencer posting about a best self 365 challenge and I decided that this was something that I wanted to be a part of. We have made our way into February 2026 and I have so many goals that I want to accomplish the 1st quarter of the year. Best self 365 is basically a call to action! It is a call to becoming my best self spiritually, financially, health wise and overall happiness! It is easier said than done but I want to keep the promises that I make to myself in this season! Being consistent is something that has been more of a challenge for me lately. I have been out of my normal routine for quite some time because of my hunt for a full time job. I have been making it work with several part time jobs and its working but I have the capacity to carry more. I am learning that at times, when God wants to give us more, he will begin to subtract things that no longer serve us. I understand that more and more each day but that does not mean that it is easy to grasp. That is definetly the case for me in this season! I am learning that just continuing to show up for myself is half the battle. Here are some ways that I have been showing up for  myself in this current season: Trying to start my day with my bible, walking for 30 minutes several times a week, reading and trying to learn more about money management God's way, trying to remove the coffee and making water my 1st drink option and praying more and worrying less!

Starting Over in my 40’s and Rebuilding with God!

Happy happpy Monday, love!

Happy happy 2026!!!

If you are anything like me, you have been hibernating inside for the past few days due to inclement weather and the snow and ice outside! I’m not going to lie, it has been kinda nice. We’re starting the new year off with snow which is a nice change. The eastern KY area has not seen snow in a long while. 

So, here we are! Beginning a brand new year. Alot has happened since my last post. 2025 was a year full of transitions. From work to my personal life, soo much happened in those 12 months. Some of which I will talk more about later but I feel life God has me on a path of rediscovery in this season. I am starting over in alot of ways; but not from sratch. Ever heard someone say, you are starting over from experience? That is where I feel like I am in this season. I have alot of time to spend with God and on the things he deems are important for me to become the woman he has called me to be in 2026 and beyond. The changes are exciting BUT extremely uncomfortable. I am being challenged from every direction. I have struggled through lots of unsure seasons to get to this one. Just like a catepillar strugging to become the beautiful butterfly! Letting go of the past. I HAD a past, I don'thave a past. Therefore, I should not dwell on it. I have been laboring over whether to try to contibue looking for a full time role or try to begin turning my side gig in writing into a full time freelance writing business. I am trying to pay off my car in 2026, as well as begin tackling student loan debt. The good Lord knows that I am trying so hard to do my best to stay encouraged. The world is so different these days. I hold on to every sliver of positivity

I know that God has BIG plans for my life and even though I cannot see how he will work things out on my behalf, I KNOW HE WILL. This is the freedom I have been waiting for.....this is the freedom of the Lord.

Stay tuned for more.
