Hello Last Monday of the Year!


I rolled over twice this morning but it wasn’t a struggle to get out of bed. I was actually ready for the day. Kids are still on their winter break so there is no morning rush of trying to get them all out the door. My day fully can’t start until I do my morning routine. I got to have my quiet time with the man up stairs , some tea and a little bit of exercise to get my heart ❤️ pumping.

Now I’m set to go. Something is a little different about this last Monday. I’m walking with a little more assurance in my steps and Im controlling my thoughts. The mind is a little tricky sucker but if I feed it the right things then overcoming and thriving through situations won’t be as hard as it seems.

Like I said before something is different about this last Monday of the year. I am okay with not taking anything from 2025 but my children into the new year. Procrastination is getting left. Doubt getting left. Self sabotaging …… where no not here. Fear, anxiety, worry will not live or cloud anymore of my decisions, relationships, parenting or anything.

This Monday already feels like a fresh start before 2026 . I have learned a lot about myself this year. I walk in acceptance of my ownself and letting go of the idea 💡 of having the approval of others for validation. It’s one thing to say affirmations over and over until you start believing.  But it’s whole another level when you believe it already.

This last Monday is to family because family is very much important and my home as a whole. With my family every moment will count and memories we shall make. Everything in the house is clean and we starting routines all over again . Last year, I thought i was boring out my kids but no this year money management. Im going to teach them about tithing, saving and investing 💰.

Work life is going to be different. This last Monday at work I’m setting the tone in my center and I have to be a need to consistency.  I believe my lack of consistency came from not being  sure about myself, so with that being said, I’m leaving that right in 2025. I’m  going to sell my butt of because I’m a likeable Black American woman. I’m strong, creative , innovative and smart. What’s in my mind I jot down on paper so that I can get it done because this last Monday right here is for the birds 🐦.

Lastly Monday, I Love me . I fought with the girl in the mirror for too long now. I put on my hat this morning with eight cornrows going down my neck. I looked at her and she looked back at me and I told her that she was and is and  always will be BEAUTIFUL. Shine like you always have and know to do . We weren’t made to fit in we were created to STICK OUT FEARFULLY & WONDERFULLY.
