Calling it Quits, When you’re not a Quitter
Quitting, or the word quit as defined by dictionary.com has several different meanings ranging from stopping, leaving, to relinquish, to cease, to end, to depart, to resign, or to give up. I’ve never liked the idea of quitting and felt like giving up (which is part of the definition) however certain things should and must come to an end (another part of the definition). I think of your time in high school, college, a movie, a book: all of these things have a certain end when they cease to continue. Even this 100 day project has an end (its the 100th day). It’s easy or better yet inevitable to end…

Happy International Self-Care Day!
For the past few months or so, I’ve had the pleasure of receiving alerts from Shine. It is a quick dose of positivity and inspiration that comes to my phone Monday through Friday. For those interested in that I would definitely recommend you joining in here. In today’s message from Shine, I learned that it is International Self-Care Day and learned some ways that people from around the world practice self-care in this article. In reading the article, it was cool to observe that those around the world and myself have similar self-care practices. My self-care practices include the following: blowing bubbles cooking counseling dancing music praying reading time with…

Vision Board
Today, was the day! My friend, Mayra, had her vision board networking event and it was such a great success! The space was packed with a wonderful group of people ready to embark on this intentional process. We reflected on past accomplishments, our mantras and set goals in all aspects of lives prior to getting to the crafty fun that came with creating our vision boards! All boards were gorgeous, creative, and completely unique to each person with their vision. You may see other boards from the day on the instagram but I will share my completed board with you all here! That’s all for today but I am definitely…

Cluttered Mind
Hi there readers, It is quite late for me and my mind is a bit cluttered. I did some work today straightening up my home but I need to set some time to fully declutter my physical spaces. Someone once told that when you struggle to focus, have a clear clean space can be helpful. I believe that to be true and I’ve let life’s random distractions keep me from the tasks I need to do to have a clutter-free home and clear mind. As I embark this final quarter of the 100 day project my days are only going to get more busy and filled with life and work.…

Leadership
Lately, I’ve been reading some books around this topic and it truly is invigorating and humbling at the same time. I am currently in a position of leadership yet in both books it discusses the importance of leading sans the title or without the “authority” that seems to come from being the boss. In the latest book I am reading How to Lead when You’re Not in Charge by Clay Scroggins I’ve come across some great points and I still have another half of the book to go. The points that really stick so far are the following: Leading starts without a position Lack of a title doesn’t mean you…

Going for it!
Today, I just received some good inspiration and a reminder to go for it! What is it, you may ask? Well that is different for each person and changes at different seasons in one’s life. A few posts back I shared that I am working with my momma on going after some of her dreams and we have a few things in the making. However, today I became aware of something else this amazing woman is trying to do. Check out the video here to learn what she is going for and support. My momma who just celebrated a birthday yesterday has done some great things in her life and…

Planning
Lately, I’ve been thinking about the future and making plans for it. I shared previously that among my top strengths is Futuristic. So I am constantly thinking about the future. I am the girl that makes 5 and 10 year plans. They don’t always go according to plan but it helps me to have a goal/vision in sight. Generally, I have success or a variation of it that comes from the plan. I typically do this in my work life and was recently asked about what’s next in my personal life. It was a valid question and one I think worth answering but not necessarily one I felt equipped to…

Containment Experiment
Containment I’m not quite sure if that is a word or the right word but it is rather late (Meaning I’m too tired to google it) and it feels the most accurate for what I want to describe, my day. Or better yet how I’ve reacted or tried to react within my day. Today was not a great day or a bad day. It wasn’t blah but it wasn’t stupendous. I don’t think it can be classified as a chill day with all that happened. My reactions today varied as I’m trying to do my best to not overly react or emote (yet that comes naturally to me). I believe…

Vision
Happy Sunday Y’all! Yesterday, I talked a bit about passion and today I want to talk about vision and the importance of casting it. According to Google vision can be both a noun or a verb. In noun form it may simply mean the ability to see or an experience of seeing something in a dream. As a verb, it means to imagine. This is my paraphrase version of course but I am a fan of all the definitions that Google shared with the verb definition being my favorite. Back in the day I used to have this business card that stated the following: Imagination = Creation Creation = Endless…
