So there's that...

Dahlings

Hi, how are you? I'm fine thanks.

Tomorrow & Wednesday I write Business Maths & Accounting. I'm flipping out but not really flipping out. I'm feeling confident that I will pass these exams. I am not too confident that I will get distinctions and that is what I am aiming for. So there's that...

I had so many plans this year; I wanted to vlog & blog more consistently. I wanted to save money. I wanted to take my fitness to another level, read books, become more vegan, recycle more, lose weight, save puppies, eat spinach, climb Kilimanjaro, become Beyonce and invent water. Essentially, I wanted to become a mix between, Oprah, Mother Theresa, Yvonne Orji, Casey Neistat and Sarah's Day. That didn't happen. So there's that...

I'm still single. So there's that....

I still haven't lost any weight. So there's that....

I don't know what my point is here but I am realising that I have a little over 2 months to make money moves.

I guess the lesson here is that there's always time to re-prioritise and see what can be achieved. I'm a proper project manager. I love it when a plan comes together. Sometimes though, life happens as we make our plans and we have to be agile I guess.

Did I mention that I am running a 10k in the next two weeks? I realised this on Thursday. So I started preparing myself by going on a 6km walk. Now my chest is threatening bronchitis. What witchcraft is this? I'm so mad.

Work is also crazy. We're working on a project that has to be delivered in two years whereas a similar project landed in 8 years with four times the amount of people. So there's that...

I love challenges.

Let's see how this week pans out.

Have a lovely one.

P.S. On my way to work today, I saw a horrific accident & I was reminded how life is so fleeting. This is why I want to make the best of each moment. Someone said that the aim of life is to get to the grave empty because you lived life properly.

So I'm 40 now...

 Dahlings. Almost two years with no word from me. Soz. I haven't been well. I'll unpack my "unwellness" in the next few posts. However.... "I'm back....bitches" I can't believe it. I actually forgot I had a whole blog. Life lifed the hell out of me and this week was the first week I realised that I genuinely am in a much better place. This is a result of many things that I have implemented into my life. With that said, I turned forty, two months and seven days ago.  I don't like it.  I'm appreciative of having been alive for so long. The last few years have taught me that life is precious and every day is a gift. HOWEVER, I don't feel like I should be 40. I feel like a 40 year old should have all "the things" in order by now and in the full swing of living.  To be blatant, I want(ed) kids. I hoped to be married. Now...I don't care to be married but kids is still a sore point for me. Maybe I can adopt kids but I would have lo...

Discipline or Procrastination...

...Is there a difference? Dahlings How are you? I'm fine thanks. I went back to work and my blogging went too. Where to? Who. knows. Ok, I have a real problem with procrastinating. The problem is really real. I have soooo many ideas. I have so much I want to accomplish but I lack discipline. On Wednesday I was having a great conversation with an amazing person who is on the precipice of living his dreams. I've mentioned before that I seem to be surrounded by people who are focused on achieving in their lives. Out of 20 friends that I have (this is an e.g. I have waaaay more friends. JK), 13 of them have side hustles and they are KILLING it. Five of them have turned their side hustles into full on businesses and have left their 9-5's. I have equal opportunities to do this but guess what, I make every excuse under the sun to not go after my dreams. I have been challenged by my friend to tell him my vision so he can keep me accountable. You see, I unwittingly (...

When do you feel the happiest?

  Dahlings. How are you? I'm fine thanks. Today as I was running my errands I had a thought about when I am the happiest. I realised that I love managing  projects, writing, taking stunning pictures and creating content for my YouTube channel. Today I helped a friend put together her child's 1st birthday party and I loved it. Over the past week, I have just felt an urge to write and write and write. I have been writing so many blog posts and a potential book that I may release one day. In this space, I found that I was very happy. Flipping tired but very happy. Anyways...this led to my question...when do we feel the happiest? Allow me to elaborate. For the largest portion of my life I have been told by black people that "I have white people tendencies" and white people telling me "you're so black". Here's the thing, I've always been 'othered'. This made me strong enough to dance to the beat of my own drum and never really let people into ...
