2021 will be.

A new year. As almost everyone I know was celebrating, I was talking to my uncle, in tears. I know this will have been the last time I talk to him, as hospice came last week. I've lost a few loved ones in such a short amount of time, it's getting ridiculous.

Not to post utter gloom and doom here. Just facing facts. Reading through all of your posts, 2020 was rough to say the least.

A lot of losses, both personal and businesses, but we are still here. We have purpose. We have strength together, to hold each other up through thick and thin.

I have somehow lost my way yet again, but I am back again (again). Will this ever change? Hopefully.

I am going through different blogs and figuring out how to make a schedule for myself that I KNOW that I will stick to. If I've learned anything from the past, it takes doing something every day. Just one thing, no matter how small. But SOMETHING. Every day.

As I reviewed my bio, it seems that I have a terrible pattern that I have to break. I will do that this year. Times have changed, the way we do things have changed, but reality has not.

I want to make my family proud of me, I want to make ME proud of me. I know that I have what it takes, and I have to sit down a take a long, hard look at what I'm doing. And then I have to adjust that so that I will become successful.

as my husband may not have a job come next week, I really do have to put on my big girl pants and buckle down. This is it.

I have watched a few of you start your journeys and are kicking butt... I am so very proud of you!

I am going to dig through posts and find ideas that I haven't thought of before. I will try doing some things the same, and some quite different.

I will come up with a realistic plan. I will make a daily and weekly list of some sort.

I am going to continue with the website that I currently have, although I just went through and got rid of all of the spam telling me that my domain is expiring, and I have to click this link to renew it right now or they will take it down. (I still don't understand how people can do this, and still be able to sleep at night...)

But I am going to clean that up and I think I am going to go a different route. I am going to do the affiliate boot camp. It will put a spin on things for me, and I will incorporate some of those things into my current site.

just another reminder that every day is different, every day is a gift. Even though we don't know what it will have in store for us, we can get through it. We have a choice... we can waste it away and regret it the next day, or we can do something.. and be proud that we've done it. I chose the second.

I will make a vision board, but only for this year alone. I will make a list of things that I want to accomplish. As for setting a time limit, I won't do that. The reason is, is that I know myself too well. A general time limit is what I will do, but if I have to hold up to a certain deadline, I get super frustrated and quit. I'm not going to do that this time. What works for one doesn't work for everyone. I think that you really have to look deep down and figure out who you are and how you work. Many people won't agree with me, but that's just how I see things right now.

There is no certain tomorrow, and possibly from watching too many Christmas movies, I have learned that the past has passed, the future is to be unseen, and today is the present. Use it as a present. And that's what I'm going to do. Start living in the present. As life is indeed a gift. What we choose do so with that gift is up to us, and only us.

with that, I will end this post, and wish anyone who reads this an awesome 'present'. Be kind, especially to yourself. You deserve it.
