In January we all made New Year resolutions. We said we would be changing
and doing more for ourselves such as working out, eating healthier, and more
self-care. Renew, Rejuvenate, Refresh!
Every year I choose a word for the year and my goal is to choose something
that helps me reach my goals throughout the year. My words are RENEW together
with, Rejuvenate, and Refresh! I chose these words because I need to renew all
my projects. My book Statistically Speaking, my blog The New Statistic, and my
NEW journal “The New Statistic Journal.” I had to refresh and rejuvenate
everything surrounding me.
As mothers, we have all these dreams and goals in our lives. Often
seems hard to achieve. I am a living testimony that can accomplish all we put
our minds to. I say “we” because we are all in the same boat when it comes to
motherhood. We put all our energy into ensuring our children have everything
they need, and we forget that we have dreams. If there is balance
and sacrifice to reach your goals.
In my new journal, I will give my favorite tools that helped me reach my
goals. As a mother striving to reach the stars, I can say that I want to share
with everyone my writing techniques. The Bible says to write your vision and
make it plain (paraphrasing). It is just that simple. So, I would always write
my goals. I have daily goals, monthly, and yearly. I followed a simple budget,
making sure I was managing my money. There was so much I wanted to do for my
kids. I would stick to a budget to ensure that I was able to make ends meet,
as well as be able to provide the needs and wants for my kids. I also wanted to
make sure I was teaching them how to budget and save. These are the things you
will find in the journal. You can turn those pages into a prayer journal or
write your thoughts. Writing helps! Finally, I have added my favorite
scriptures that have encouraged me over the years. I just hope my journal can
bless you.
Many times, we need just a renewal in this season of our life, and I am
renewing things that people forget about, such as my blog. I want to encourage
parents, I want to share my testimonies, and let you know you are not alone
when you are going through trying times with your kids. Especially adult
children. I will say enjoy them while they are young because as they become
adults, they need guidance but may not always take our advice. I want to share
how to balance your life. So, sit back and enjoy my monthly post about
self-care, and parenting, and become renewed!!!
