Morning Epiphanies
Happy SunYay! Yup, you read that right! lol. Happy SunYay! It’s a Karenism … that everyday is a YAY day … meaning that every day above ground is a good day, Anywho, today is sunny, and I’ve been up since 6 a.m. — you might wonder why I’d get up at such an ungodly hour. Well, I’ve been trying to exercise twice a week with a friend, and we meet at 6:45 a.m. I figured if I can get into the habit of waking up earlier, it might help me in other areas of my life. Who knows? I do know that I did WAY TOO MUCH today and now at 6 p.m., I feel yucky and I am overtired.
This morning, by 7 a.m., I had already had three major ideas that I was so excited about — hello, ADHD in action! I started my day with my healthy coffee (More To Come later – MTC), enjoyed a quick snuggle with my Lily Rose because it’s one of those little joys that mean the world to me, and then decided to take a brisk walk. The air was chilly but refreshing, and I wanted to enjoy the outdoors before the snow arrived.
During my walk, I had an epiphany. For a while now, I’ve been searching for my niche and trying to figure out where my life is headed. As I approached my house, it hit me. ME! I am my niche. Yes, I am serious. And for the first time in a long time, I felt truly aligned with my purpose. That mind-body connection, which is so crucial to me, felt strong and clear.
I walked back inside, poured myself a second cup of decaf coffee (still sticking to that), and treated myself to a quarter of a Cinnabon — just the right amount. By the way, it was from What a Day Cafe in Eldersburg/Sykesville, Maryland. If you haven’t been, they are the sweetest, and their treats are amazing. Please support this wonderful small business if you’re in the area!
With coffee in hand, I sat down to read my devotionals. I’m back to reading three daily, and it feels grounding. Then, inspired and energized, I started brainstorming ideas for my future business. The ideas were flowing, and I couldn’t jot them down fast enough. I’m so excited to see where this leads, but I want to take my time to organize my thoughts and approach this the right way.
My plan for this week is to talk to the Hubs, maybe chat with a trusted friend, and consult with my executive mentor. I’m aiming to launch this new program or initiative on March 11, a date that holds deep significance for me as it marks the one-year anniversary of my stroke. It will be a day of celebration and new beginnings. BTW, I have also decided some of my plans for my anniversary. I WILL eat THE BEST donuts we can find, get a new tattoo, and do LEGO. I will also exercise and probably eat spaghetti. Beyond that, I am not so sure … except now, I will be announcing my new venture, I hope!
As I wrap up, I want to remind you: never give up on your dreams. Keep moving forward and believe in yourself. You’ve got this! Oh, and as I was writing this, I looked out my window and saw some deer running by. I’ve been hoping to spot them, and I’m taking it as a good sign. Deer have many symbolic meanings across cultures and religions, including peace, grace, and rebirth. They are also associated with the supernatural, the Otherworld, and the cycle of life. Thank you, universe, for #todayssign on something so big and important to me. #thankyoumoreplease.
Sending you all love and positivity. Have a great day and be good to yourself. Until next time!
