2nd Quarter Check-in / Daily Operation - January 2025

Great day to all! Hoping this finds you in good spirits! If you’re reading this, sending a big Thank You! Greatly appreciate your time and energy!

As we’ve entered into the second quarter, the weather begins to give glimpses of warmer days ahead, with the trees and flowers beginning to bloom — This time of year is a real energy booster, after the cabin fever of winter.  Got us looking forward to the great outdoors, and all the fun & festivities of the coming season, but let’s not get too ahead of ourselves, and enjoy the spring air!

After this last year of organizing, I’ve been excited to get back to our regular programming. I have so much to share that I really have to pace myself — some days I feel like I want to go on a posting spree, but then I realize how overwhelming that will be for the viewer (and myself). Most of the time I feel like I’m posting into the void, and nobody is seeing/engaging with the work — where it turns into me just sharing, hoping for some validation from a like or comment, (giving me that dopamine fix, lol)… not being intentional or purposeful. The exercise is to not waver from the initial inspiration, once that rush of a new idea has faded…Being able to maintain that surge of motivation that occurs when starting to dedicate self on a specific path/course of action is not always the easiest— once you are in your journey and start to encounter obstacles, changes of heart about said path, etc., will show you how much you love what you’re doing, and how much you are willing to sacrifice, alter, adapt, unlearn/learn, and invest to turn your what you feel compelled to do into a successful business . Life’s distractions make it easy to quit, because especially as an adult with responsibilities, you could always be using your time for something else, but when you find reasons to keep going, you should listen to your inner voice, (and not the negative one ( because we have both)).

If you’ve stopped by recently you may have noticed I added a few new post since year’s beginning, while also reviving my Daily Operation series, adding selects from January and February 2019.  In wanting to post more, I figured that while sticking to my script, I can also share some current moments — so I’m committing to Daily Operation posts, once a month, in 2025! So that means you have 3 coming before the end of this month!  As well as continuing the story/journey from March 2019 until we catch up in the present… lol…but again, let’s not get too ahead of ourselves here, we are going to “baby steps” this thing and just take it day by day, week by week. 

So today, I’m sharing the January 2025 selects! Enjoy & stay tuned!!!
