A whole lot of curve balls have been thrown at me lately, but one thing your girl is going to do is pray, keep the faith, and keep it pushing… in that order.
Outside of losing my job last month, a deer leaped over my car and smashed in my windshield while I was driving. So many levels of gratitude here that I’m safe and the car is being fixed although Progressive better count their days once I get my car back. Tons of other hiccups have come along the way, but like my Volvo, I’m built for impact…but I’m going to cry first.
Last week was spring break for my kids, we journeyed to the beach with our neighbors and heaven knows I needed some sand between my toes and some sun on my face. I didn’t document the trip, I just wanted to live in the moment, with the goal to come back ready to get moving in Q2, which I plan to do.
Still no job and tons of rejections but that won’t hold me down. God has always made sure we had what we needed and it has certainly been worse so I’m just listening to the still small voice knowing that it hasn’t steered me wrong yet when it comes to the next steps. As someone who likes to think through every scenario that I have no control over, the voice is telling me to make some bold leaps (like that deer that hit my car) and at this point what do I have to lose?! My greatest prayer at this point is that God leads me to where I need to be now that I don’t have work as a distraction.
This week I feel like I’m being led to put my focus on the streams of income that I already have in place and seriously build some sustainable systems in the midst of looking for work. I have come to realize that sometimes it’s not that we can’t do the hard things, it’s that we don’t know how or making them happen isn’t efficient so we stop. Whatever the hiccup is, collectively this week let’s promise ourselves to take a step toward building a solid framework on something that can get us a step closer to a goal… cause baby steps until we get steady.
The weather has finally broken, we will be in the mid-70s and low 80s all week, the garden is really starting to wake up now and I plan to spend some time this week with my hands in the dirt and the sun on my face now that our last frost date has passed.
ALSO…my dresses have been brought up from the basement…cue up those OOTDS! I love sharing my outfits, I don’t really buy a ton of new clothes like that, or they come from Marshalls etc. so I don’t always have links to share but I do love sharing my outfits so make sure you’re following me on Instagram and TikTok. I started a 75-day outfit challenge earlier this year, I’m going to pick up where I left off.
I’ve come across some new products that I’m loving right now, I’ll share those on Thursday along with what I’m reading, what I read in Q1, and some other fun content.
Until then, thanks for rocking with me.
Have a great week!
Mimi
Life be lifin! Trying to remain optimistic and grateful through it all is an Olympic sport!
