LETS GET PLANNING

I am a regular, degular, schmegular person just trying to figure out my own life. An imperfect Christian that still gets drunk, goes clubbing, and a lot of other things like… ummmm yea, that way. I graduated from a wonderful HBCU (Grambling State) in May 2016, studied at the “oh so gracious” Harvard University for the summer. I was accepted into FIU for my masters and turned it down because I said “I’m tired of classrooms and teachers show me the money.” Struggled for two full months looking for a job. WALAHHHH a job appears and I take it with no hesitation. Get into the field and now I’m a HR Representative. WTH does that have to do with the art degree it took four years to obtain? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I’m grateful, but it’s not where I want to be even if I stay with the company.

*record scratch* So you’re probably wondering how I ended up here trying to mentor people for the next 90 days, well I’m not quite sure either. lol

But since you’re here just hear me out…

All my imperfections and struggles have taught me everything I don’t want in life. And as soon as someone asks me “Well what do you want as a career or in 5 years?” I immediately freeze up like Allie on ‘The Notebook’ when Rower asks her “what do you want?” Then the answer to the question is so inconsistent that I confuse my own self with what I actually want.

So it’s New Years and we all want to be better people and yaddie-yah-yah … I am Queen of Resolutions, NEW YEAR NEW ME ! (*three days later) Im back eating that same junk, back talking to the same not shit man, back stressed, back to not meditating, and back making excuses for who I am. Now these are just my personal problems, I hope you can’t relate. But if you can BIIHHHHHH THE STRUGGLE IS REAL. But in my grandma voice, “just keep living… you’ll be sick and tired of being sick and tired.” AND BOY AM I TIRED.

So I was in the “Such A Lady” Group text and I received a message from my friend Darielle (whom I have been doing life changes with since 2013). We were all amped up like “yeap 2017 all us baby we got this” (as we are currently drowning in debt and bills). So yesterday I went to work and printed off this planner like “It’s time to boss up and make a change” (*forwards email to my other best friend Myleeza, who I have been making get rich schemes with since 2007). It’s after work and I’m driving home and God kind of tells me “you don’t have to do everything alone, I place people around you so that you grow and learn from them.” I’m so disobedient, so I’m like “nope I’ll put it in GroupMe and that’s it.” Then he prevailed this idea of me using the thousands of people that follow me on social media and instructed me to do something meaningful with my platform.

I go home hand Chelsea (my sis) her copy and cute colorful pens and tell her I’m about to publically do this so other people can hold me accountable. Minutes later I post that awful Instagram video and I received responses immediately, roughly forty emails sent that same night.

Now, Welcome to Nothing Was The Same 90 Day Challenge! Over the next 90 days I will be sending you email updates and encouragement about once a week dealing with what I’m focusing on and the areas I want to change. I am a Christian so I recommend this great devotion “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young. You can find this at Hobby Lobby, Walmart, Christian stores, online, or even get the app at a reasonable price. I will also be working out with my sister and sending tips from Ten12 Fitness Group.
