NOVEMBER GOALS & PLANS

Nov 2

I don’t know what it is but when a new month begins, for me it’s a fresh start. Especially, when the 1st starts at the beginning of the week! I’m looking in the mirror, like...who is this woman? HARPO...WHO THIS WOMAN!

I finally woke up at 5AM and started my workout. It took me about 2 (maybe 3) weeks to train my body to get back up at 5AM. If you watch my stories on Instagram (which you totally should) I share my morning workouts there and what I’m up to. In the first few weeks, I was waking up at 9AM and 8AM to start my workouts. Now...look at me, waking up all early and shit, taking care of Starla first thing in the morning! #ILIKEITHERE

GOALS. GOALS. GOALS.

Ok, let’s talk about goals for the month! I’m really big on goals and making ish happen!

This month my goal is to express gratitude more (with my thoughts as well). I tend to get overwhelmed easily and instead of speaking (or viewing) my struggles with a negative lens, I want to challenge myself to view my struggles in a positive lens and truly TRULY be THANKFUL for all that GOD has blessed upon me.

I want to continue starting my mornings off right. Starting the day before everyone is up and doing things that I enjoy is a WHOLE level of PEACE that I can’t describe but wish every Momma/Woman can have. Ya’ll this makes me a happier Starla, Wife, Momma, and Boss.

Here is a glimpse of my morning routine:

5AM - Morning Workout (Drink 1Liter of Water)

6AM - Finish Workout (Meditate/Stretch/Prayer) & Check Social Media (Answer Messages)

7AM - Shower (Lit Incenses) & Wake Kid’s After My Shower (Make Kid’s Breakfast)

8AM - Start My Work Day

My third goal this month is for the family and myself. To Read More! At the end of October, I asked everyone to pick a book that they plan to read and we will set a time daily to read. We decided to read before bedtime and I’m really excited to have this quiet time before bed for the whole house to be still and everyone reading. Wish me luck...we shall see how this goes.

What are your goals for the month? What do you plan to accomplish?

PLANS. PLANS. PLANS.

November is a busy month for myself and the members over at Create. Connect. Collab. We have so much planned, 2 MasterClasses, 1 MasterMind, A Monthly Check-In, A Work Session & A Meet-Up! If you are not a member of Create. Connect. Collab. and would like to learn more, click here!

This month is also the Heavenly Birthday of my Pawpaw. Losing him in April was hard for me and the strength God gave me during that time to push through for my youngest who’s birthday was 2 days later was needed. I’m still praying to God for strength and I realize that I will be a mix of emotions, and that is ok! Honestly, I don’t view crying as a form of weakness (just wanted to be clear on that) it’s a release. The strength that I ask God is for me to be strong, wise, and have grace with myself, my family, and all that life is throwing at me. We had a keepsake pillow of Pawpaw’s shirts made and ya’ll it’s been a blessing to hug. I just had a thought, I need to see if we have his cologne to spray on it. That would be nice.

Well...with Thanksgiving this month and COVID still present, I’m sure many Holiday traditions will be different. I plan to invite my immediate family over for the Holidays. We shall see if that happens because I’m still on the fence. We may just end up at my Mom’s. My Mom’s house is larger than mine and we can social distance better. Reg’s side of the family is larger than mine and they have planned a “Curbside Thanksgiving” - families can stop by, make a plate and go on their merry way.

I wish you all a safe and grateful month.
