Hello, March. It’s nice to see you.
I’ve decided you will be the month that changes everything.
I have serious decisions to make about my business, about my blog, and about my writing career. And I’ve decided I won’t let you leave me before I do.
Dreams & Goals
Can You Write Your Life Into Existence?
I’m a girl obsessed with goals. I write yearly goals, monthly goals, and even goals for the week.
But so often these goals get lost in my litany of daily tasks. When my daily to-do lists and my lofty aspirations go head to head in battle, the to-do list wins — always.
Then I think of Octavia Butler, the black woman warrior writer who, as Kiara Collins so perfectly stated in a recent article for Blavity, “literally wrote her life into existence.”
35 for 35
I couldn’t believe this was happening to me. I was becoming one of those people who start feeling down as their birthday approaches. This was happening to me, me who looked forward to 30, me who often utters the words, “I can’t wait to turn 40!” because my friends over 40 are so fabulous and fierce.
Yet as I saw 35 in the horizon I started to feel sad, even a little scared. Is this it? I asked myself. Is this all I will ever become? Are my best years behind me?
But then my hard-won confidence and past accomplishments put an end to that pity party. I wrote myself instructions on How to Turn 35 and now I’m taking my own advice.
As I turn 35 I will laugh, I will dance, and I will dream as I did as a girl.
So today I will bring back an old tradition. I’ve created a list of 35 things I want to do while I’m 35.
But, first, I want to tell you about a deal I’m offering this month in honor of my birthday.
I am offering 35-minute consultations via Skype for only $35. If you have a specific matter regarding blogging, writing, or building a personal brand or business that you’d like to discuss with me, this is the perfect deal for you. You can purchase your session here, then email me so we can schedule our session. It’s my birthday, but I wanted to give you a gift.
Javacia’s February Goals
Fearless February! That’s my mantra for this month.
February will be the month I step out of my comfort zone and do things differently.
February is also my birthday month and I plan to celebrate ALL MONTH LONG!
Here are my goals for the month:
How I Manage My Time
Every Tuesday in the See Jane Write Facebook group I host Q&A Tuesday and invite members to ask me anything about writing, blogging, and business.
Yesterday a Facebook group member asked: How do you manage your time? What does a day look like for you?
