I'm here I didn't quit!

 It's day two of my consistency challenge and I'm already feeling the heat. I got a late start on my day. I usually wake up around 5am and read, I make sure the kids are up and getting ready around 6, We leave at 7:15 and I'm back home cleaning getting ready for my morning workout by 8. By10 I am full of green juice and green water and ready to start work creating word art! Today I woke up at 6:40am the kids were still asleep and didn't want to get up. We didn't leave until 7:45. After I dropped them off, I went to pick up our grocery order and what usually takes me five -ten minutes max took more than thirty minutes because everyone called off today. There was literally one woman bringing out all of the orders and at least ten cars waiting. I was cool, didn't Black Karen out, life is good, I had all the patience for waiting and even more gratitude that I didn't have to go in and do it myself. I took the time to do the reading I didn't do earlier. By the time I got home though it was after nine and by the time I finished putting away the food it was nearly ten.



As you can probably tell I am a very routine person. I work well with a schedule and when one thing is goes wrong it throws my entire day off and I can't get back on track. Instead of picking up where I am or just winging it I usually throw the day away, call it a wash eat snacks and watch tv. 

Today I'm fighting the urge to fix a big bowl of ice cream and finish Russian Dolls on Netflix. It is only day two! I have to get stronger! I will work these consistency muscles!  I owe it to myself to you and all of the people who will benefit from my writing at some point in their journey.  I am going to do what I said and write something everyday!  

I know this is not a masterpiece. It isn't my best work, but dammit it did it. I sat down in front of this computer and tapped these keys. It is done and this is it!

I'm working on a new book, for now I'm calling it The Dungeon. It's a fantasy about a woman living an alternative lifestyle that has come under fire by her local community. She tells stories of things that occur in her home and life to a close friend who knows her and her lifestyle well. Since I started typing this post I have become inspired to work on it so as soon as I finish posting this I'm going to do that. I think I may have found a key to getting consistent, just start and if it's meant to be it will flow naturally. 

It has been a pleasure sharing this moment with you. See you back here same time tomorrow? I'll defiantly put forth the effort! Thanks for reading! 

Love 

Philena

How are you making money these days?

I've been wondering lately what are you doing to make money? I'm not usually nosey like this, in fact I am the first to speak out against people who ask the question "What do you do for a living," when you've known them for all of 2 minutes. Questions like this are usually used to judge and rank people and I think that's trash to say the least, however I need some answers!  In my city housing costs are at an all-time ridiculous high, gas is almost $5 per gallon, and don't even get me started on food. With everything being so expensive you'd think people would be working, but every place I go is short staffed and hiring! On top of that, I've been a stay at home mom for about eight years, I used to do all of my errands and leisure activities with my kids early week day mornings, after rush hour, but before lunch. I could literally be in Walmart with one white haired lady on one of those scooter baskets and three employees, but now there are people ev...

I just turned 40 Here's how I'm Doing

I've been 40 for about two weeks now, and I'm really enjoying it. I feel young but not too young and then I feel older but not aarp yet. Like an established adult. Middleaged??  In my mind 1-39 is the bottom and 40-86 is the top. Last year I was at the top of the bottom, and this year I'm at the bottom of the top. I made it. I crossed over!  I  finally got my shit together. I am officially, School! If you know you know. In case you don't, School is a term used by individuals usually from the hood, reserved for cool older gentlemen and Bad older women. Think old school. Ask a young man you know if there's an older woman at work he might mess with if given the opportunity. She sexy, looks good for her age, brings her lunch from home and it always looks good, fashionable, not really trying to keep up with the young girls but she's holding. She has her own vibe and it's nice. That's me. I'm School! I'm all natural these days. No enhancements or alter...
