NEW YEAR, FRESH START

"New year, New me." -All of ya'll, every year Well, since we're still in December and on the subject of gifts, let's talk about the gift of a FRESH START . Nah, I'm not talking about you calling your ex back and acting like you weren't trash for the bulk of the year. You need to get left in 2018. I'm talking about truly stepping back, reflecting and taking action in new ways. Now, I know a lot of people roll their eyes when folks start talking about the things that they want to do differently in the new year, how they about to be skinny and how they not bringing all that negative energy into this new chapter.

Like this was my time to reflect on my mistakes, my weight, my eating habits, my career and change everything about ...

DETERMINATION: ALL YOU CAN DO, IS WHAT YOU CAN DO

That's why I chose FOCUS as this week's word. I have always had a problem in this area of my life. I mean, from the time I was a little girl. It would really wear my parents out. Them: "Britney, go downstairs, look on the table, grab the envelope inside of the book that's on the table and bring it to me." Me: *Goes downstairs* "Where ya'll say the book was?" My mind drifted off somewhere between them saying go downstairs and bring it to me . As I've gotten older, I've gotten a little better. But now, my lack of focus shows in different ways. Sometimes, I can't concentrate on my craft because I'm to busy thinking about the negative aspects of it. " I don't know why I'm doing this, it's not getting me anywhere " or " This is pointle...
