DAY 29: Mixed Emotions
When you experience mixed emotions it can be quite the wild ride. With this 30 Day Challenge coming to an end tomorrow, I thought I’d be ecstatic about it being over, but in reality, I don’t know how to feel. I’m fairly certain that the behaviours I adopted during these 30 days (minus the daily…

DAY 28: Decisions
The decisions we make, whatever the size, shape the outcomes of our lives. Sometimes inaction is the best action and that is why yesterday I did not post. I made an executive decision to skip the blog post for the day but maintain the other tenants of my 30 Day Challenge. With only 3 posts…

DAY 26: Welcome 2021!
Welcome to 2021! Today is day one of another 365 day cycle of time. You can choose to spend any moment doing right by yourself or you can choose self-betrayal by not living authentically.

DAY 21: Oh Ya, It’s A “Challenge”
The thing about a challenge is that it is challenging. If you didn’t at some point want to quit, or want to cut corners around rules or cheat, then it wouldn’t even be a challenge in its nature. It would simply be a task. I set 3 main attainable goals for my 30 day challenge,…

DAY 20: Peace of Mind With Taraji
I am officially 2/3 of the way through my 30 day challenge and I can tell you that I definitely notice a difference in my day-to-day routine thus far. Still, I will save the observations and conclusions for the end of the 30 days. When I have officially completed my goal. Tonight I wrote an…

DAY 19: Xmas Reflections
Christmas Day has come and almost gone, but one thing is for certain, it has not been without reflection. Christmas is one week before the end of the year, and this Christmas was particularly quiet, so reflective thoughts naturally entered my brain.
