This is my first Friday back, and I’m excited to be here!
Over the past few weeks, I’ve taken some time off from my daily blogging because I’m trying to figure life out and focus on building another stream of income.
I love fitness and helping people become brand-new versions of themselves, but I love the idea of stepping outside my comfort zone to do something new. If you have been a part of my blog long enough, then you know I push everyone to do the things that scare you. And if you know me, you know that change scares the shit out of me.
But fear should never stop you from moving forward with a good plan!
Hell, you don’t even have to have a good, solid plan. You just need an idea and a strong work ethic to get to any place you want to go. If you let fear lead you, then plan on having a life that lacks the feeling of living.
A fearful life will have you only existing, and life is too short and too beautiful only to exist!
How I’m Looking After Myself Today
Tonight, I am going to end my productive day on a high note by closing up this laptop and going to a new restaurant.
I received a text message from my husband around 2:00 today telling me to be dressed and ready to go when he gets home from work. I’m glad he did that because he knows I need time to get prepared slowly; I’ve never been a last-minute kind of girl. Ya, girl, she needs time!
I would love to know what y’all have planned for tonight or this weekend. However, no matter what you choose to do this weekend, make sure you are safe, surrounded by love, and enjoying every moment regardless of the weather.
You could have chosen any blog to read, but you chose mine, and I’m honored!

believe it or not, I will be doing laundry!

Girlfriend, good for you! I love the way you are vibing Queen B. And as a fellow Cancerian, I am NOT a last minute girl either. 🦀 That irritates my husband, because I cannot throw on some jeans and my high heels without makeup and accessorizing before stepping outside this house! 👗👠👜 I get you. I am going to put on my jammies, grab me a cup of tea and watching some movies. Have a FANtabulous weekend ladybug! 😍💖🥰

Last night, I worked overtime, then cooked turkey burgers, did a little reading, and I went to bed. Today, I worked a split-shift at work and I’m now about to watch a series on Hulu and enjoy the rest of my evening. Tomorrow, I plan on doing absolutely nothing aside from cooking and washing a load of clothes.
