Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge: Beginning
Hello Beginning, here I am (again!). Though usually I embrace you as I would my sweet children, today.. I’m a bit salty.
I’ve seen too much of you, lately. I’ve felt frustrated; and, I’ve gotten so little done. I’m clueless as to how this must go.. in order to be successful.
Beginning, I don’t want to go past go without collecting $200 anymore. Monopoly.. my least favorite board game.. Beginning, no offense, but, I don’t want to continue seeing you. I’m ready for a solid foundation.
How do I do that? This whole process has felt forced.. and overwhelming. If this isn’t what I’m meant to do.. please direct me to the correct path. Would that be baby sitting? Would it be nanny work? Would it be teaching something? Please help guide me.
I need an end to this crazy circle of returning to you. Please help!
With much gratitude:
My mind

Motivate Monday
Hello hello!! Another Monday has greeted us:)
Today, I want to get you excited about your budgeting!
Years ago, I was the customer that held her breath, hoping every transaction went through. The thought of buckling down and seeing the numbers, made me lose sleep. On the contrary, the frequent experiences with “decline” was just as terrible. I wasn’t ready for that growth yet, though.
Today, I spent hours working out my plan. I looked at bills and totals, dates and payments. I typed it all up in my app; which allows me to revisit it anytime I need.
So how do you get excited about budgeting?
You SET A GOAL!!
Think about these past two years. The isolation and re-evaluations tortured our mental health. We couldn’t go anywhere.. we couldn’t visit anyone. There was nothing open, aside from jobs of essential workers.
We all stayed home.. and thought.. and thought..and thought.
Transitioning back into some version of normalcy, we’ve moved on.. but.. have we moved forward?
…..
Right now, decide on one task you want to accomplish. Is it a savings goal? Is it a vacation? Maybe a new car? Graduating with a Master’s degree?
Once you have identified your goal, make a plan:
Here’s a few questions to consider asking yourself.
- What steps need taken in order for it to be achieved?
- What does it involve?
- How much money is involved?
- What changes can I make now in order to be more efficient?
- What do I need to do that might be challenging?
Take such steps as the following:
- break your goal down into smaller tangible tasks.
- Invest quality time into changing
- Write everything down
- Be intentional in the entire process
- Give yourself patience & grace
The task always seems so hard until you get started! Take time and work out a plan. Break the process down into smaller tasks.
You got this!
With Love and Light,

I am so thankful for the short time the girls and I were able to spend here, together. It made me feel joy, peace, happiness, and inspiration.

HERE’S A LOOK BACK TO THE PREVIOUS THEMES FOR EACH DAY:
My Favorite App
Hot from the App Store!! This is a life-changing, makes-life-so-much-better, must-have app!!
Zinnia
{ Found here in the App Store }
I’ve gotten into this healthy habit of doing some sort of entry into one of my journals. The time taken to document something important with creativity is so positive. Additionally, the privacy of this app… where I write absolutely everything without judgment & scrutiny… indescribable. No one to tell me I’m wrong.. or that’s not fair.. or I shouldn’t feel that way.. or here we go again.. I’m so thankful for this app!!
The pro version is only $9.99 a month!! It’s well worth much more than that with all the personalization options available!!! I love this app so much. It helps me keep track of important information, like bills.. business stats.. and still provides a place for creativity and dreams!!
Absolutely recommend this to every iPhone user!
Here’s the entry I just completed.
This is truly a must-have!!
With Love & Light,

Ten Things of Thankful
This is my first time participating in this challenge. That said, here we go!

TOMORROW: Grand Open!!!!
Inner Child: Storytelling
When you consider who you are right now, for any amount.. Even a tiny morsal, do you blame your childhood? I do.
My belief is most of us don’t understand child development until we’re adults. We’re raised by human adults that, also, may not understand it. By the time we reach the age of understanding, we are working tirelessly UNLEARNING the mistakes and CORRECTING ourselves.
This crazy cycle is unnecessary. I want to speak to the children in our WordPress community. These children are currently under the age of 21.
This information is a result of endless theory and testing, research and critiquing. Erik Erikson was a German Psychologist who spent decades developing what’s, now, commonly known as
The 8 Stages of Psychological Development
NOW.. I need the rest of the childrens’ attention please!
Who’s left? The rest of us, 21 and older… Every single one of us has an inner child. I don’t care what you’ve done or how hard ass you think you are. I don’t care what you say about your sense of awareness… When you’re faced with THE one situation that crumbles all the walls, leaving you vulnerable… Your child shows up!
I need all of you beautiful children to sit with me, while I tell you a story..
It’s about a little boy.. A little girl.. Or a precious soul and the journey of growth. It’s a story with many chapters; so I’ll need your patience… I’ll need you put on your listening ears.. And use your best silent voices. This story isn’t one you’ve ever heard. It’s, also, one you’ll never forget.
To the group I addressed first, I encourage you to sit with the rest of our kids. I hope you’ll listen and take note of the truth in the story. I hope you’d safely tuck these chapters into your heart.
Each Chapter will be Red lettering. It’ll say
Storytelling: Chapter {whatever}
The 1st Chapter will be posted soon. Please keep a look out for it.
Until then, gather some Self-Care treats and rest your beautiful self. This adventure isn’t going to be easy.. but, it’s going to be worth it 💚💜💚
With all my love 💎❤️
