Jumping into July

Hey Glow Getters! I’m kicking off the first full week of July on a high note, in part because I’m feeling well rested after the long weekend. I really believe that a Sunday well spent brings a week of content. Yesterday, I lounged in my bed past 1pm, guilt free, and it felt so good! The quarantine has still been very busy for me, so it was refreshing to enjoy that time of relaxation and leisure. I also used the weekend to enjoy some quality time with friends and family and to plan ahead for the week and the remainder of July. How did you spend your weekend? Share below.

With the start of 3rd quarter and the last half of the year, I’ve been reflecting back on my vision board that I created in December. While some goals are delayed given all that’s going on, there are others that I’m circling back to along with dreams that I’ve put off. I had the pleasure of working with Michelle McKinney of Dreams Unleashed last month, and our time together helped me gained clarity on a lot and has given me the push I desperately needed to do the work! I started some needed changes last week by switching up my daily schedule to better maximize these 24 hours. Truth is, I’ve used not having time as an excuse to not pursue certain passions, and while in many instances that may have been true, doing nothing about it wasn’t ok. My goal is to make time for the things that matter most, cut down on the distractions and have more laser focus. Last week went well, and I’m determined to continue making positive strides all month long and beyond.

Another focus area for me this month is consistency. As many of you may know, I launched my personal brand officially 4 months ago. While I’m proud of the progress I’ve made and consistency I’ve shown in many areas, one area I’m hoping to be more consistent in is this very blog. I love writing and sharing, and accountability is my friend — so, I’m taking part in a blog consistency challenge with an amazing group of bloggers spearheaded by Mattie James. I’m excited to bring some new content to you guys all month long and encourage you to subscribe here, so you can stay in the know of my latest posts plus some surprises, too.

How are you jumping into July and this last half of the year? If you’re like me and working on focus and consistency, share below so I can cheer you on.

Have a glowing day!
