Two Month Check-In


Hi, friends! It's been about two months since I started this blog, and I just wanted to share a little update. 

After spending most of my life following a 9-5 work schedule, it's been really difficult for me to find my groove now that I'm home every day. I took the first few weeks to just kick back and enjoy being on sabbatical. I really liked not having anywhere to be at a certain time in the morning. However, not having a set schedule was giving me a bit of anxiety. I've also noticed that I've become a little bit lazier. (I'm also blaming this on the change of seasons and the shorter days. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜…)

I'm a creature of habit and doing the same things at the same time every day bring me comfort and familiarity. Since my schedule is much more relaxed now, I'm going to create a daily routine that's a little laxer than before, but one that keeps me accountable and busy-ish.

I'll be getting back to working out at the same time every day. That seems to be the best way to keep myself on track with my workouts and goals. I'll be setting aside a few pockets of time that are solely to be used for writing. If I can write at the same time every day, I think I'll be able to get more writing done.

Unfortunately, I will eventually have to find another full-time job, but I'm not going to worry about that right now.

For now, I'm going to enjoy this amazing opportunity to write as much as possible while exploring some ways to make a passive income. Who knows? Maybe I'll find the secret and start earning enough to stay home forever!

As always, thank you for being here with me. All of your support and kind words have been truly amazing. I wouldn't be able to enjoy this as much without all of you. If there any topics you would like to talk about, or any ideas for future posts, please reach out. Have a great Saturday evening! ❤

  2. Hey sista! It's Kerrie from X/Twitter. I wish you all the success in following your dreams. We as women especially need to find our own path forward and do what is needed to make us happy. You know my path a bit and who I am, etc...so, good luck on your dreams. When your 1st book comes out and makes the NYT Bestseller list, I will buy it and hop on a plane and have you sign it in person. Then we can do some serious shopping! Love you, sis.

  9. I left my job of 28 years ten years ago, or I should say it left me. The first thing I noticed was much less stress. I have now been a freelancer for those 10 years and would NEVER go back to that model of working for someone who uses reward and punishment on their employees. I now have something to offer for a fair price, something I love doing and am proud to offer.
