UPDATE: I was so excited when I found this memory that I couldn’t count. Laughing. However, this makes everything that is currently happening in my life even more interesting. Becoming emotional as I think about it. Can’t wait to share!♥️
HA! Can’t believe it’s been five four years already!
Well, had to refer to my journal to see what I had written on July 14, 2019, and here is what I wrote:
“Be intentional about time, talent and friends.”
That was it.
So where am I todayaccording to the quote above?
Time–I am becoming better with managing my time. Sadly, it is a constant struggle.
Talent–I am so proud of myself for tapping into my talents. I’m finally using them.
Friends–Some have come and some have gone, and I am at peace with the way things are going.
So how am I doing according to Bishop’s actual quote below?Keep reading…
“Be intentional. Where do you see yourself in 5 years, and how do you plan to get there?”
Journal Entry: May 22, 2019 (Goals were written and revised prior to Bishop’s sermon.)
Here are my current goals written on February 2, 2019. Over the next couple of years, I need to make sure my endeavors align with these goals. Everything I do at work has to provide skills for my professional and entrepreneurial careers.
Overarching Goals:
Make global connections.
Support efforts that promote and support healthy, sustainable communities.
Spread hope.
Promote safe places and spaces [for marginalized groups].
I included details on how I would accomplish each goal, and so far I am right on track. I know at times it may seem like I am all over the place, and sometimes I am (I just love life), but I do know where I’m going. This morning I stepped up my game and took another leap. Will share later. Want to see where it goes first.
Thanks for reading! Hope you have a wonderful weekend.♥️
When I tell you this feeling of unease is weighing heavily on me. The last time I felt like this was a few days before my brother got sick and 2 weeks before he passed.
Yesterday they found one of my grandfather’s stepson deceased during a wellness check. He had been dead several days. I keep thinking about how many times I passed his house on my way to and from my dad’s and his body was in there the whole time. He was my mom’s stepbrother.
Then, yesterday evening I received a call from my dad saying that his brother had to be airlifted from one hospital to another because they believed he had suffered a stroke. He and my dad are the only two of their siblings left. This is my uncle’s second time being rushed to the emergency room in the last week. I can already tell it’s taking a toll on my dad.
Also, one of my former colleagues had been on my mind all week and today I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. I was able to reach her through one of her friends and discovered she had recently moved out of state. I actually dreamed she was living in another house last night, but couldn’t quite remember all of the dream. I just knew I had to reach out to her.
Maybe all of this and the fact that there’s so much chaos happening in our country is causing the uneasiness. It’s a bit too much. It’s like I can feel all of it.
Going to continue to pray and attempt to stay present. God bless us all.
Not sure if it’s only happening in my life, but there is a shift happening. A huge shift in the atmosphere. Y’all, something big is taking place. I feel it with my entire being.
When I said I feel differently since turning 50, y’all, I actually feel differently. It’s exciting, but also a little unsettling. Mainly because I have absolutely no idea of what’s coming. All I know is I must continue trusting God while allowing Him to lead.
