HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I know what you’re thinking: “OK. Javacia really needs to stop waking up at 4 a.m. That girl is so sleepy she doesn’t know what month it is!”
Don’t worry. I’m fully aware that today is December 1, not January 1, but for me December is the new January. Gone are the days of waiting until January 1 to start working on my goals for the New Year. I’m going to start slaying my 2017 goals TODAY.
Is it just me or has this week seemed never ending. I thought it was Thursday two days ago!
My husband says he thinks last week’s presidential election destroyed the space-time continuum. And I think he’s right.
It’s weeks like these when I need to fill my mind with as much inspiration and affirmation as I can.
Here are five of my favorite mantras that help get me hard days and weeks that never seem to end:
I’m a girl who gets things done. When I set my mind to do something, I do it.
Most of the time.
Each year I celebrate Veteran’s Day by watching the Maker’s documentary Women in War.
And this year I’m also thinking about all the women and men who have made sacrifices in the military and beyond so I could enjoy the rights and privileges I have today.
Because of the brave, I am free. And I will not waste this freedom. I will use it to live out my dreams and help others do the same.
As I type this my heart is so full it’s really hard to put into words how I feel.
