What's on your mind?

[sampa]

This morning I read a few comments from the ladies in my coaching group and the one I’ll work with later on.

So glad for you and that you are able to encourage and guide other women of Faith and bettering themselves. ❤️

My position it's sort of similar but not the same. I sort of encourage people's own health goals, sort of a cheerleader. And guide them with questions for our wellness insurance. It's purely volunteer through my workplace, but I have made some great friendships over the years that have grown. I'm still a long way with connecting to our district as a whole but year by year I've been working on it.

Cool, just doing some work at the boss's house and got a side gig with a neighbor!

Let's go!

Thank you sampa.

I fear you misunderstood. I’m not leading them. The coaches I’ve spoken of (business, personal, and life) are assisting me with different areas of my life as is the mastermind.

I would like to coach at some point but I have to be mindful of my circumstances. If I intended to remain in the digital space it would be doable. A self-directed course is more likely. Memberships are time consuming. I prefer passive income.

How neat! It sounds like a wellness coach. That’s really popular. It seems like a good fit from what you’ve shared.

 

[sampa]

I’ve been better.

Thank you for responding. I was worried and concerned. I will continue prayers. This is a very hard time in your life I'm sure.

Ahh, sorry for the misunderstanding. I think you will make a great coach someday. Or mentor. I have to get myself positioned and plugged into a church where I moved before I can step into discipleship and mentorship. I mean with other younger women spiritually. I've had more than one time of some type of training discipleship, but I've moved around too much that I haven't been able to be available for that.

Praying that those that are leading you will have Godly wisdom and direction. Sounds like you're on a fabulous path.

Yes! I can't even believe when they offered that position some years ago and it was the perfect fit. People had already known and I had already established myself as someone who's into running and health. so not only has it been a benefit to others but it has definitely been a benefit to me. What's even better is I don't have to go to drinking parties to socialize outside of work and make those connections I need within my agency for footing. And more communication with people that are executive staff because wellness speaks to pretty much everyone. Thankful while this position will last and hopefully I will continue to be able to snowball wellness efforts in the areas of our agency that are the most difficult to reach.

Brrrrrr...

It's unusually cold right now and feels like it may rain.

Which, is a good thing, I guess.

It's just I'm sweating from work and riding after and I only have a thin sweatshirt on.



I just thought somebody out in cyber space should know...!

take care of yourself. Being sick is the last thing you need expense wise.

No worries. I’ve mentored in the past but it isn’t an option now. Motivational speaking or thought leadership is more appropriate. You’ll be given the tools to implement the changes. But I won’t walk you through it personally. I don’t have time.

I’m hoping to resume my social pursuits when ‘normalcy’ returns. I want to rekindle a connection with an organization I worked with in the past. And get involved with the arts once more. Nothing too demanding. At some point I’d serve on the board when my studies end.

Praying that those that are leading you will have Godly wisdom and direction. Sounds like you're on a fabulous path.

Most of the women I interact with are believers. There’s a heavy Christian presence in the digital circles I frequent. The Lord placed me with incredible women with a heart for service. They’re wonderful cheerleaders. I needed that. I’m always the encourager and need others who’ll do the same. I got it in spades. I didn’t expect that.

Fashion is glamorous and lots of fun. The creativity feeds my spirit and I’m developing methods to serve a wider base. Those I’m called to minister to who purchase my clothes and the rest who want accessories and beauty products. My online tools are for them.

This way everyone gets a nugget of spiritual wisdom. The messages are different but the Source is the same.

What's even better is I don't have to go to drinking parties to socialize outside of work and make those connections I need within my agency for footing. And more communication with people that are executive staff because wellness speaks to pretty much everyone.

It sounds like God is using you to minister in the workplace and community. How exciting! Especially since you’re pursuing a topic you love.

Yeah, it occurred to me after a bit that it was the perfect recipe for me getting sick.

But, I'm at the perch now, enjoying a bowl of peanut butter Capn Crunch!

Thank you for your concern sis., Yah bless you.

No planning today. He had three days worth of packages to go through. I received my microdermabrasion device. Which pleased my daughter. But I really wanted the planner. The prep takes several days to complete.

She went shopping and I cleaned out the fridge. Storage bins are a godsend. I don’t like plastic but I make an exception in this case. It keeps everything organized.

It looks like I’ll have some DIY projects after all. I contemplated tossing the bookcases. But they’re so sturdy I’ve decided to paint them white and add contrast in the center.

I have a desk and dresser I want to refinish. The quality is really good. We’ll sand and repaint them and change the hardware. I’ll do that in the wood shop with my former instructor. We have access for the year.

Once we get the living room settled I can slipcover the furniture. It has to be dyed by a professional. Leather is sturdy and I like it for children. I’m placing an order this week to get the cabinets. The pandemic exacerbated storage issues.

But hopefully within a month or two I’ll have the look I want. When you’re home all day light colors are very soothing. My style is more akin to coastal glam. I don’t like dark colors (hence the projects). I wasn’t always crazy about white. But now I am.

You, too, huh? I am getting back to doing the same for my bathroom sink and shower this week, myself. Did it once two years ago when I first moved into this apartment as it was in really grim shape. But, didn't do the most professional job the first time so the whiteness is starting to wear away. So this newbie is giving it another go. ^-^

Gotta do some kind of work on my week off from the horrible stressful mess of work I actually get paid to do, right? =P

Yep, sounds about right for you.

I’m not tackling it on my own! But I’m sure you’ll do fine. He agreed to help and that prevents me from tossing things out. I have moments when I’m ready to chuck it all.

I planned my remodel to coincide with my classes. As we design a room I’d do the same the following month. But the pandemic changed that.

So I’m finishing my projects now. Another year of this would drive me mad. I like an orderly environment.

Definitely. I don’t think you’d have the energy.

It wasn’t always. The beachy aesthetic is relaxing. Formal rooms have their place. But they’re not inviting.

2 Samuel 12:20
"Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat."

Amen.

I finally have my Powersheets! I don’t know if I’ll get to them today. I like to do it over coffee. I look forward to the day when I’m planning with my Hunnybunch.

We used the microdermabrasion device last night. Mercy, it works well! If you can’t afford spa visits or they’re closed, this is a wonderful substitute. There’s even a version for men!

Just thinking of the adorable Miss Erin right now, especially after the precious (well, precious to me, even though i am well aware she was just being as nice to me as I am sure she would anyone else ) moments I had been so fortunate as to gain with her while we were at work together the other night. That cute, calming face of hers does not leave my mind often, as you may imagine. ^-^

 

[Tone]

I'm gonna stand defiantly right in front of this ferocious bear and let it devour me...

...because running from loneliness...is lust...

And I've ran too many times from it...up hill...

*If that makes any kind of sense..ha ha...
