Chapter 34

By the time this post goes up, it will be my birthday! I can't believe I will be turning 34! I don't look a day over 16 lol (people actually think I'm 16 when I'm out sometimes lol). I am just so grateful to be seeing another year of life and looking forward to what this year has in store for me. 

When I was about to turn 30, I was so scared to be leaving my twenties. I didn't want to get older but I embraced my thirties and now I'm scared of getting close to 40 lol. I have learned that it is okay to get old, you get wiser and learn a lot of things. You start to realize some things about yourself and others around you. I've learned that not everyone that you call a friend is actually your friend. You can't keep people close that are no good for you and it may hurt but then you will realize that you are much better off without those people. You really start to learn about yourself and your purpose in life and just everything. 

I am loving what I am learning about myself everyday and look forward to learning so much more. Plus this is my first birthday as Mrs. Johnson!! I'm excited about having the day off and enjoying myself. 

Have a great start to the week and see you guys Thursday!!

    Happy Birthday Drea! You are so right...not everyone looks at your friendship the way you do. I have learned that the hard way. Real friends are hard to come by now a days. That's how I feel. Enjoy your birthday! I hope you have a great day.

Sometimes its hard.....

You know when you keep thinking of something and you just feel like you have to get it out? That was me before sitting down to write this post. I had something else planned to write but I kept thinking...sometimes its hard and it just evolved from there. We all heard the sayings, life isn't fair, life is hard and so on. Sometimes life can be hard but we don't experience it for long. There are so many things that I want to do but I know I can't do a million things at once. I can't just pick and go anymore, I'm someone's parent now. There are times I want to but I know things have to be planned out now. I will get to those place I want to go, just have to be patient and plan it out. It seems like we focus so much on what is hard about life that we forget about the easy stuff. We forget sometimes about all the good things that happen and to be grateful for getting through those rough patches. You may not like your living situation but you have a roof over ...

On a personal note....Update on Blogging and Personal Goals

Happy Football Sunday!! I hope everyone has been enjoying the weekend and getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving!! I can't believe it is this week! I can't wait to spend time with family! I thought about giving an update to the personal and blogging goals I set for myself last year with the Resolute Beauty Blogger series. You can check out my results post  HERE!!  I completed this in May of this year so let's see how I've been doing since then. Blogging Goals 1. Attend A Blogging Event- Since then I have not attended another event. I was so happy when I did find my one event to attend. I have been keeping in contact with those bloggers I met and reading their blogs. I have been finding events but there are scheduling conflicts. I hope to find another one very soon. 2. Set A Blogging Schedule- I am still sticking to my Sunday, Thursday and every other Friday schedule. It has been really working with my hectic schedule I already have. 3. Change Up Current Style-...

Taking a break.......

On Tuesday I did mention that I had some exciting news to share. I have been working part time for a while and searching like crazy for full time work. I was starting to get a little frustrated but never gave up. Well a full time opportunity came up at my current job and I am now full time status!!! I was just so overjoyed and thankful. I will have a more stable income, I can go back to school and start to make some moves. Then I started to get a little overwhelmed. How was I going to juggle being a full-time working mom, grad student, blogger and balance everything else. It has been a while since I had a full time schedule and based my blogging schedule around my days off during the week. I start my full time hours next week and just need to take a small break away from Naturalle Drea. I really didn't want to because I love this so much but I need to see how to handle everything. I will most likely change my blogging schedule around. Thank you to those who have been encouraging to...
