What’s the thing

What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?

I’m most scared to do. What would it take to get me to do it?

So, the thing I’m most scared to do is public speaking and anything like making videos.

So, I want to become a confident coach, and I’ve wanted to make a course and go through it with the women I would be helping.

I’ve had this idea for about three years now, and the only way I could get it done was to get a coach.

I did that, and the risk of investing in myself is high, but this urge to do this keeps returning to me. I don’t want to miss something God wants me to do, so I set my launch date for March 8th,2024, and decided to post about what I will do all of February.

My coach/mentor knows about it, so I’m making myself accountable by posting this today.

So, I can’t stop myself from hiding and not doing my best for this to succeed, so here I am, taking a significant risk but knowing I’m at peace, too, and I’m scared but ready to do something that feels right for me to do now.

What do

What do you complain about the most?

I complain about the most.

I’m tired, which is valid with working nights, and my sleep cycle goes from good to bad to decent.

Then why is it so cold out, and how I don’t want to deal with the cold, and I want to stay in my warm bed until spring comes around.

What is

What are your favorite sports to watch and play?

My favorite sports to watch and play?

That would be European soccer, which they call football, and my favorite team is Liverpool.

Also, I watch Formula One, and Lewis Hamilton is my favorite driver.

I don’t play any sports. I used to play basketball for fun and watch it, but I don’t anymore.

What would

What would you do if you won the lottery?

I do if I won the lottery?

Pay off my student loans

I quit my job and do what I love full-time, which would be writing and coaching.

I can do what I love and not worry about the debt or stress of working a job that drains me.

I would still live a simple life, for I don’t need much.

Maybe a personal chef a couple of times a week so that I can get a break from cooking, and perhaps they will help me stay on a healthy lifestyle with new, fresh takes on recipes and meal planning.

I would love to help my family and travel the world.

Write more books and see where life takes me.

I would take more risks, so I keep growing and try not to get stuck.

I would give back to reading programs and charities and help make the world better.

What books

What books do you want to read?

Do I want to read?

Here is a few

Also, I’m currently reading Dark Lies, which is book three in the Magic Side: Wolf Bound series by Veronica Douglas

I am also reading The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannons. I can’t seem just to read one book at a time. But I hope to finish the books I’m currently reading to get a start on the ones I listed and more to come.

To live in the light

But you kept seeing how great I was

And so you used me until I became a shell of myself.

Now, the darkness is where I stand, even though there is still some light in me.

I can’t call on it for help anymore, for I saw the good in you, and what a fool I was.

Now, I barely have compassion or care for anything or anyone.

And now, when I see you, I don’t see a human but the devil himself, and I can’t help but feel nothing for you.

I blink at you and walk by you, and it’s like you don’t exist anymore.

I know you’re there, but my sense of cutting you off because toxic and liars have no place in my paradise.

And as I stand in the darkness and see the reflection of the light maybe one day I will go back but for now, I feel safe here in the dark where you seem to not notice or care for me.

And for the first time, I’m happy being left alone.
