A daughter, sister, and a momprenuer life gets busy. Sometimes the world moves so fast for myself that I start to feel like I’m not executing anything. It’s in that moment I need to self reflect and take a break. What better time than summer vacation with my son. During my break I got to reflect on my plans and how to execute the rest of the year strong. I also had to budget my money to the extreme. Is it me? Or do these kids eat you out of a house during the summer… I think I should have a summer saving’s dedicated to summer. Don’t believe me I have bank statements to prove it. How about these camp prices? I’m starting to think I’m in the wrong field of work during the summer.
Shopping on a budget is imperative. What girl doesn’t have fun shopping? Well when you can pull off big buck looks for under $30, you’re the real MVP.
I received a phone call while on my mini vacation. Boy was that call interesting.”Markeisa you don’t seem happy.” What?? I’m living life right now.” I played with the statement for a while and couldn’t understand it. Then it dawned on me. I needed to get back to work. In the midst of my break I got comfortable. Don’t get me wrong it was refreshing, honestly, just what I needed. Women are natural care providers so we forget about ourselves a lot. I was being pulled in so many directions and finally saying no felt good. How good can we be to anyone if we don’t take the time we need to ourselves. It’s not selfish it’s healthy. Don’t lose yourself in what the world wants.
My mess was a message and my test was a testimony. Although I didn’t see it at the time, today I’m walking and living in my truth. You honestly haven’t lived life until you lived in the purpose God put you on the earth to serve. I have people that I feed weekly with my blogs. Granted the majority of you fell in love with my pain. When it’s relatable it’s more interesting. Your storm isn’t always meant for you. It’s for someone else to see the rainbow after the rain.
Well hope you guys are ready to end the year with a bang like I am. Yes I know it’s August but you should have 2017 and 18′ mapped out. Live life with a purpose and a plan.
3 keys to help you finish strong
When working on anything make sure you complete it.
Keep yourself surrounded with like minded people.
Be careful of how much information you share. You can keep some stuff to yourself.
So today as I look back at this blog from a year ago…Blessings on top of blessings everyone screaming! Faith without work is dead now let be clear on what the message is I’m putting out. You can pray everyday for your life to change but if you don’t get up and move towards change it won’t happen. This year so far I’ve worked the year monthly and quarterly.
What’s behind fear??? Opportunity I promise if you try something and it doesn’t work you won’t die. We’re in the 3rd quarter of the year and I want to tell you
Balancing between your personal life and work is important
Take time for yourself mentally it’ll keep you sane
Remain true to yourself in every aspect of your life
