So 2018, This Is How We Are Going to Start?

How many people had high hopes of how the year would start? I did. Everything was crazy by December 31st. Even going into the first week things remained crazy, and I was discouraged. I knew that this blog was going to relaunch in January, and all the high hopes almost went down the drain. Isn’t that what happens? Circumstances in life don’t line up with our hopes and dreams. Can I be really real? So there is someone either near or around my building who is in love with the weed. During the snow days I was smelling it before noon. Seriously? These are the times I look up to God and say, This is my life? LOL Okay I know. I’m making a joke about something that is serious. I live here with a 24 year old, but what about the families that have young children and have to smell that? Oftentimes what your life looks like now doesn’t match your expectation nor does it match your future plans. Hang in there. When I planned on blogging my life this year I didn’t know I would lose a friend. I didn’t know that the weather wouldn’t be favorable. I didn’t know I would be trapped in a cold place smelling weed. Here’s what I do know. I cannot continue to allow life to not only beat me up but to also get in my head. Based on one person…one…I almost totally shut down launching this blog. Readers, what have you allowed to shut down your dreams, plans, and goals? I started something on Saturday that I pray I stick with. Asking myself is this going to matter in the long run? I have a goal to write daily and to publish as many books as I can. On the “I feel beat up by life days” no writing gets done, which sets me back immensely. Side note: In the past few days I have seen three of my friends working on their books, one of whom is finished. They are mothers with real life responsibilities, yet they are pushing. Let’s let this year be a year of pushing. Pushing through craziness. Pushing through our own issues, and pushing past critics. You have something that you have to do this year that only you can do. I’m here with you doing my thing. Let’s roll!
