Week 1 - Day 4

 Good morning, good morning!


I can’t believe that it’s Thursday already!

Waking up early has been a bit more difficult than I expected. 

I’ll admit it again, I have flaws. 6am seems to be too early for me, but 6:20…6:20 is an acceptable time…

For some reason those 20 extra minutes are extremely important to half-asleep me. I’m going to have to work harder when it comes to getting up at 6. Do you guys have any suggestions?

Unrelated but, I do have some exciting news!

When I first decided to start getting up early, I searched on Spotify “getting up early” and came across an episode from “How to Money” that had a guest called “5am Joel”. For those who want to listen, the title of the episode is “Waking Up Early and Intentional Living with 5am Joel #154”.

I listened to the episode hoping to gain some insight and in turn, I became motivated to start blogging again and living my life intentionally.

Joel spoke about a morning email that he puts out, sort of a way to keep himself accountable when it comes to waking up early. It’s a short email, but the messages within them are useful.

If you would like to subscribe to Joel’s morning email you can go here: www.5amjoel.com

Well, Tuesday morning, I replied to one of his morning emails and explained to him how he had inspired me to start making a change in my life. I even sent him the link to my blog and asked if he may have tips.

Much to my surprise, Joel replied to me. We exchanged a few emails, and we now have a scheduled call today. 

You may think I’m silly for being so excited for a phone call from someone, but, I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to speak to someone who has successfully made this change in their life. 

The knowledge and tips I may receive from this call could be what I need to get to that next step, to commit 100% and be successful. 

Anyway, I assume I will have a longer blog coming up, all about what I learned by speaking with 5am Joel. 


I hope you all have an amazing and intentional day ahead of you. Speak soon!

Week 3 - Good Morning!

 Goooooood Morning! I'm going to come right out with it. I have not been doing great at getting up early. That's because over the weekend, I decided that what I wanted to do with my extra time, was cuddle with my fiancé. It was late mornings from there. BUT! Here I am, at 6:30am, writing to you. It's not all bad! I'm up earlier than usual. Positive thinking right? Had an amazing weekend, had a photoshoot with some women I didn't really know and we pretended we were in a Coven for Halloween, I'll attach some stuff for you to look at. 👀 And as always life is busy busy busy, but I'm choosing to look at it as "productive".  I always like ticking something off my list!  Next list to start working on, my wedding planning list. Who would have thought there was SO much to getting married! 😅 I hope you enjoyed the small snippet I shared! Comment and tell me what you thought!

Not Like The Movies

College is not what people think it is. In movies it's shown as one BIG party. Lots of hot people, drinking and parties. My experience in college has been somewhat like a party but nothing like college in movies. When I first moved into my dorm I expected my roommate to be my best friend and go everywhere with me. That is not the case, my roommate and I talk, but we don't go everywhere together. Honestly sometimes it can even be awkward when we are left in the same room together. My first night at the dorm I met the other girls that I share a suite with. They looked like the typical preppy girls, mean girls if I may. Turns out that they weren't as bad as I had originally thought they were. That night we went to a tye dye party. We were given a T-shirt and we could go dip our shirts in big buckets of dye. There was music blasting and people dancing in the bright colorful lights. "This is college" I thought. This is going to be so much fun. The dance was ...

Life Changes

The year 2018 was not a good year for me. Two things that will send someone into a crippling depression happened to me... As I am still healing from this most recent one, I don't want to go into much detail. But for the rest of this post to make sense you'll need to know that Vincent and I are no longer together, after 8 years.. As time goes by I expect I will be able to open up about it. The past few years I have been stagnant. I still started a Master's program and got a new job as a manager, but I was just existing. I wasn't actually living my life. At the beginning of October I started a 6 week fitness challenge at a CrossFit gym in town. I lost 15 pounds and began to love myself again. But I still wasn't happy. It took the earth shattering, heart breaking, event to make me realize that I needed to do something about the way I have been living. I was one of those people who got up, went to work, came home and sat on the couch watching TV and waiting for the ...
