Booo Yaaahhh! The First 30 Days…

I am excited to say that I am coming to a close of the first 30 days of the 90 day Challenge.  I was looking back at my goals for the Challenge and I think I have made a few adjustments along the way. My goals consisted of balancing family, health, singing career, and my spiritual health.  I think the ones that really stayed on top of the most was the commitment to my family and spending quality time with my baby girl and hubby, and blogging on my singer songwriter website so that you, my fans, friends, family can really get to know me.  The blogging actually is also helping me gain clarity in the direction that I want to take my career at this time.  Of course I’ll be sharing that “Ah Ha” clarity with you every step of the way.

I haven’t been video taping myself singing, so that has to be something that I push through to do asap.  It’s ridiculous.  I haven’t been setting aside the time to showcase myself to my own “peeps”.  I know you all support me and lift me up…I think the fear of being seen all over the world wide web performing, which is my dream, is getting in the way.   Also questioning the “what if’s”…what if I sing the wrong somg, What if people start talking about me?”…etc.   I’ve gotta listen to my own advise about FEAR, “False Evidence Appearing Real”.  You may have read the blog I had saying “Don’t Be Sciirred”, talking about conquering your fears by facing them head-on.

I have also gotta get my online store up and going.  Everyone is asking what things they will be seeing in the store other than music…well, your gonna have to wait on that.  I am still making up my mind on what I would like to offer that really imparts some value into your quality of life.  The next 30 days is going to be more awesome than the first.   I’ll also track my workout regimen better…I think I’m down about 5 pounds.  Now it’s time to step up my exercise routine, not that baby girl is finally sleeping through the night.  Why don’t you join me now in doing the Challenge and making the end of 2009 the best time in your life.

Too Blessed To Be Stressed!

Sometimes you just have to reflect on the wonderful people that surround you and fill your life with purpose and meaning.  They give you inspiration, advice, and words of wisdom to empower you.  Some can just tell it like it is, and they don’t sugar coat a thing so that you know “the truth” about thangs.  I just have to say thank God for my circle of family, friends and fans.  It’s really a blessing to know when people are “your” people.  They don’t spend time draining you with negativity.  Instead, they uplift you and you do the same for them, whether it’s demonstrated through a thoughtful gesture, word, song, or just a knowing that “they have your back.”

You may have read over the past few days that I have been exhausted trying to do all the things that I want to do in my life, be a good mommy and wife, work well, and sing like the performer I was born to be.  I had hit a wall because my baby had not been sleeping through the night.  I reached out to family and friends who gave me advice as to what to do.  Well, I’ve gotta say that last night I used a combination of techniques to get Ms. Thang to sleep.  Whatever I did worked, and my hubby and I finally got a good nights sleep, which had been lacking almost ever since she was born.  Man, I feel like a new person.  Sleep deprivation can really reek havoc on your overall wellbeing and your social life.  I’m going to work the same technique this evening too.  Wish me luck.

I actually had time to do my hair this morning as well a put on a little make-up…little pleasures you take for granted before having kids.

Do you have “your peeps” that have your back?
