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!

Life In Technicolor

I'm writing tonight's post to the song 'Life in Technicolor II' By Coldplay. I forgot how much I enjoy Coldplay. They can put me in such a relaxed mood. Almost perfect for writing. I've had a pretty bland day. I got up around 11am, which is way later than I wanted to get up.. I used my color chart, which told me I should wear lavender on Mondays.. It helps me get dressed faster in the morning ha. Anyway, I took my finals today.. It went bad for accounting, but I didn't really expect any different. Cheers to taking that class a third time! I'm not stupid I swear. I just lacked conviction lately. Which will change. My math final went pretty well..Matching graphs to equations is my downfall so I'm sure I missed a few points there, I passed the class though! When I got home I realized that I had the rest of my day to myself, some people love that feeling, nothing to do. I'm not like others, I prefer to be busy, keeps my mind off things. One of...

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 ...

Long Time

Hey everyone! It's been a very long time since I've written on here. This year so many things have changed! Vincent moved in with me at the end of December 2016, it has been going super great! I love waking up to him every morning (except when I work graves of course). I can't believe its been 8 months since we made that giant leap in our relationship, things have been moving along so smoothly. At the end of February I became a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant! Let me tell you, I was so nervous at first. The starter kit was $100 and it came with over $400 worth of product in it, so NO BRAINER, I signed up. I signed up wondering if I could make any money in the business of skin care and cosmetics, and I soon found out I could when at my first party I sold over $300 of product! Quickly I decided to invest in my business and milk it for all that I could, honestly, it hasn't been unrewarding. I've had so much personal growth, it's insane. I beg...
