The tree is so close, I could touch a branch if I opened the window and reached out my hand. I love this tree. It’s proximity to my window means I get an up close and personal look at my favorite birds. All day, the birds sing and I can hear their sweet melodies drifting into my room.</span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">However, my favorite thing about the tree is the flowers. Beautiful flowers, in my favorite shade of pink, that bloom each summer. The beauty of the flowers and the joy I feel in observing them cannot adequately be described by me in words so I won’t even attempt to do so. All I can say is I find these flowers so beautiful and awe inspiring that on multiple occasions I have been inspired to draw them! I recall drawing the flowers with my eldest son a few summers ago. I still remember the accuracy of his drawing and the inaccuracy of mine. </span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Right now though, to look at this beloved tree outside my window it would be hard for anyone who hasn’t seen it in bloom to believe the beauty this tree produces. </span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Right now, in the place where beautiful, pink flowers in abundance, WILL be, today there are just branches that seem almost bare. The seeds or buds on the tree, that today are brown and closed up tight, almost dead looking, will soon be so transformed that when you see them in their future condition you would have a hard time believing they were ever capable of appearing as dead and unpromising as they do today. And when I compare myself or my life to this tree I am inspired by the comparison. For there are things in my future that today, right now, might look like the tree.</span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmzSqcusIcpcIOT_ETrewq8GcFTJ4pu7DODQ9SCNyyfDaiSsnzsMzH2YduypEXvHAaIb0OS81wpeD_wXQoBubUhd1grjZGecp2Jr-x-YNHBs6ifVqPgLZAAhe68d8wGFUU0LLDzH8X2Dgp2xoXP7VfiqbCpfcb3nZOtzCNPEUYF3yiQbJse1HZNmNpOQ/s1080/569B58A6-61F1-4810-AB77-324A7FDC4D0A.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmzSqcusIcpcIOT_ETrewq8GcFTJ4pu7DODQ9SCNyyfDaiSsnzsMzH2YduypEXvHAaIb0OS81wpeD_wXQoBubUhd1grjZGecp2Jr-x-YNHBs6ifVqPgLZAAhe68d8wGFUU0LLDzH8X2Dgp2xoXP7VfiqbCpfcb3nZOtzCNPEUYF3yiQbJse1HZNmNpOQ/s16000/569B58A6-61F1-4810-AB77-324A7FDC4D0A.png" /></a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></span></div><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is true of me, true of all of us, and true of many circumstances . If we only look at the present day reality of a thing it can cause us to feel discouraged or disillusioned or hopeless. But if we could only find a glimmer of hope to believe that ONE DAY the seeds we are planting, the little buds that may look dead today, WILL, in due time, produce an abundance of beauty that cannot be described by us in words. If we can just imagine that future version of what we are looking at today, then we can hold on. </span></div></span></span></span><p></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Every day as I think about things I'm wanting or hoping for or trusting for I think about the pink summer blossoms on the tree. I think that just as I must patiently wait for the beautiful flowers to arrive, I must patiently wait for those things to arrive too. In the meantime however, I find the beauty that exists in that tree even today. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Even while I'm waiting for the pink flowers of the future I learn to enjoy the little buds; watching them open and close each day depending on the weather. I watch the various birds who still use this tree as a source of shelter or food or as a nice place to sit and sing. I enjoy the way the branches are always pointing upwards as though in praise to its creator. I appreciate that even without the beauty of its flowers this tree is still here. Proud . Standing strong. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I'm so excited about my personal and spiritual pink flowers that are on the way.</span></span></p>Sunshine Abuwihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07970811418535749095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705873409715041466.post-52712423294492685532021-06-16T07:47:00.002-04:002022-01-22T15:00:10.797-05:00She Can Who Thinks She Can<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSt8IFXtn1n1cey3D1-HhtHZel6Ix0o-pJAHokNFVM874yJvRNRoV6UtIRbuSVxr8GUKF-7eI7v-O_spadIE2mabe25ntyJJhlpLUWK-G1JMnpXjriJBntV52UW3aHpfcFZv97jNIIEIPe/s1080/6635C2BD-D846-4AE8-921D-EB4883AC0CA7.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSt8IFXtn1n1cey3D1-HhtHZel6Ix0o-pJAHokNFVM874yJvRNRoV6UtIRbuSVxr8GUKF-7eI7v-O_spadIE2mabe25ntyJJhlpLUWK-G1JMnpXjriJBntV52UW3aHpfcFZv97jNIIEIPe/w640-h640/6635C2BD-D846-4AE8-921D-EB4883AC0CA7.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div>Peace Queens!</div><div><br /></div><div>During my morning routine I was re-reading through <i>Your Forces And How To Use Them</i> by <i>Christian D. Larson</i>. I came into contact with this book around three years ago and I have read various chapters numerous times. </div><div><br /></div><div>Much like re-reading through the Millionaire MMOOMMs Club Manifesto, each time I come away with a new idea or I relate to the content in a new way. This makes sense of course. Each time I read it, I myself am a new version of me. Each time I approach any content, in the moment of the interaction, I am a different version of myself. Having experienced the growth and development of myself between each sitting, I come to the information anew. So as I read chapter nine in the book, "He Can Who Thinks He Can" it was almost as though I had never seen this chapter in the book before. </div><div><br /></div><div>I eagerly dove into the chapter salivating over each word. They were so spot on! They were so relevant. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Chapter 9</div><div style="text-align: center;">She Can Who Thinks She Can</div><div></div><blockquote><div><br /></div><div>When failure comes be more determined than ever to succeed. The more feeling there is in your thought the greater its power. You steadily and surely become in the real what you constantly and clearly think that you are in the ideal. The more you believe in yourself the more of your latent powers and possibilities you place in action. And the more you believe in your purpose the more of your power you apply in promoting that purpose.</div><div><br /></div><div>To she who thinks she can, everything is an opportunity. Depend only upon yourself but work in harmony with all things. Thus you call forth the best that is in yourself and secure the best that external sources have to give.</div></blockquote><div></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div>I hope this inspires you!</div><div>~Queen Sunshine</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><p>P.S. <a href="https://www.meetup.com/maintaining-momentum-on-top-of-momlife-meet-up-group/" target="_blank">Join</a> the Millionaire MMOOMMS Club on Meet-up.com!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Yep, you read that right!

I'm proud to announce I was prepared for today! <br /><br />What do you mean you were <i>prepared</i>, Sunshine? </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br />Well, my old habits were to stay so laser focused on my work routine that I didn't take adequate time to prepare for upcoming changes.<i> Or</i> to be so worried about the upcoming changes that I procrastinated about making updates to my routine. The procrastination was caused by fear that I was not going to be able to maintain the same level of control of my time and therefore my productivity. Maybe even a little sadness or frustration because here I am again, losing momentum. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br />But this time things were different. This time, I took the proper time in advance to Set The Tone For Summer.</span><br /><br /><h1 style="text-align: center;">Here is how I did it!</h1><br /><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><u>For the past two weeks I committed to radical self care and rested. </u></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><u>A Lot!</u></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br />I made sure to keep the last day of school as a date that stayed in the forefront of my mind. I kept talking to the boys about the last day of school, stayed caught up on paperwork coming from the school and helped the boys return books and prepare for all the fun, end-of-school-year-shenanigans.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br />Other than that, I rested. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I gave myself permission to be less “productive” in my businesses. I understood and acknowledged the impact summer break was going to have on my schedule and therefore I began to slowly back away from the school year pace I had going.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br />Also, in preparation for the new demands that were going to be made on my patience, I rested my body. I took naps a couple days once the boys went to school. I went for long nature walks and spent time on the river just gazing at the water. This was all done to relax my system, relax my nerves and allow myself time to heal. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I reduced my phone calls and other activities that I find draining. I spent my time doing things that made me feel strong and ready for a new challenge.

In Advance! </u><br /><br />I looked at the Summer as a Chunk of Time that I wanted to have a plan for. I asked myself; What would I like to accomplish by the end of this Chunk of Time? Then I thought about what I could realistically achieve. I asked; What can I actually do this summer that won’t make me feel overwhelmed? What work things can I do around my new role as Part Time Summer Camp Counselor? When will I have the most help with my children? What is the least amount of “work” I can do that will still leave me feeling accomplished at the end of this Chunk Of Time? And I planned accordingly.<br /><br />In collaboration with the Natural Hair Influencer Group, we mapped out the schedule for the Summer Growth Challenge, being careful to schedule easy times in our Millionaire Mom lives. Piggybacking off that and inspired by the amazing benefit I received while participating in The Becoming Woman’s Saturday Morning prayers last summer, I scheduled the Millionaire Moms Club Meetings for Saturday mornings at 10:00 am. <br /><br />Planning these business events in advance gives me something to look forward to each week. While grilling hot dogs and setting up the Slip And Slide I can look forward to talking shop with fellow Millionaire Moms each week. I can feel good about my Mom role because the MomBoss role isn’t going to be neglected. This plan also frees my mind to think about the next Chunk of Time which is Fall 2021. I can be intentional this summer about how I would like to prepare the atmosphere for September, October and November.<br /><br />Feels empowered to enter the Summer this way. How did you set the tone for Summer? Leave feedback. <br /><br />Feeling inspired?! It’s not too late to Set The Tone For Summer. </span><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Check out a quick overview of the processes and cultivate the Millionaire MMOOMM Mindset here: </span><span style="color: #1155cc; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-skip: none; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://millionairemmoommsclub.blogspot.com/2021/12/millionaire-mmoomm-mindset-2022.html" style="text-decoration: none;">https://millionairemmoommsclub.blogspot.com/2021/12/millionaire-mmoomm-mindset-2022.html</a></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">***</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">And Join the Community on Meet-up.com</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><a href="https://millionairemmoommsclub.blogspot.com/2022/01/meet-upcom-is-our-new-home.html">https://millionairemmoommsclub.blogspot.com/2022/01/meet-upcom-is-our-new-home.html</a></span></p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p></span></span></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /></div>Sunshine Abuwihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07970811418535749095noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705873409715041466.post-85542691821322076322021-06-10T12:31:00.003-04:002021-06-12T13:24:03.123-04:00@ Starbucks All Week<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxSo4mL2KWRZ9YSL_MMn14Hnbl36UGr-KOPtPLzsdeq6kMUT2BVlhdL_vnlqeovA1XaMsA0M51JYa2NB43tczsyF531dYFrMjNiwSMt3l6nvJGH4f-EQhYJT2xpO0zQf2nxGSS8RLOfuMF/s3088/92191B04-3B61-464C-B25B-CD9F5B462449.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2316" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxSo4mL2KWRZ9YSL_MMn14Hnbl36UGr-KOPtPLzsdeq6kMUT2BVlhdL_vnlqeovA1XaMsA0M51JYa2NB43tczsyF531dYFrMjNiwSMt3l6nvJGH4f-EQhYJT2xpO0zQf2nxGSS8RLOfuMF/w480-h640/92191B04-3B61-464C-B25B-CD9F5B462449.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Peace Queens!</div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">I’ve been at Starbucks all week working on my next big thing.

My New "Why"!<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Recommit to the Millionaire Moms Club Manifesto by remembering your Why! Why do you want to build your million dollar brand? What will it mean for you to begin earning easy, joyful and satisfying income? What will it mean to have your own money each month?</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIDVVelwPNltN4BLnEcLdI2QPK8ZDgvP2GfFdifCtIhyphenhyphentUsCvgk5NIJyPjhEQXj5fXV4Gc5LnVYUUdU6I-jpkcbr5kkoglQcfCPnIShZrhw83nmAVJkbrmo_iJnO8lMYoD0Gr8Gmp1fivK/s500/Millionaire.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIDVVelwPNltN4BLnEcLdI2QPK8ZDgvP2GfFdifCtIhyphenhyphentUsCvgk5NIJyPjhEQXj5fXV4Gc5LnVYUUdU6I-jpkcbr5kkoglQcfCPnIShZrhw83nmAVJkbrmo_iJnO8lMYoD0Gr8Gmp1fivK/w640-h640/Millionaire.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><p></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-4447f879-7fff-fde4-d71a-c54594f448ff"><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Peace Queens,</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Let me tell you a story. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Yesterday I was invited to join my two older sisters on a Fourth Of July trip to New Orleans. Immediately I was excited. We haven't seen each other in person since the summer of 2019 and a reunion is long overdue. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I immediately began imagining boarding the plane with my family in tow. Arriving for the first time in the city of New Orleans, fulfilling the desires I’v held since seeing the film, <i>The Princess And The Frog</i>. Coincidentally M and I had discussed our joint desire to visit New Orleans just a couple weeks ago. When the invitation was presented it seemed like destiny that we would all be reunited on this trip.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Over dinner I happily presented the invitation to M. I just knew he was going to be as excited as me. I just knew we were soon going to be searching for flights, talking to the boys about the upcoming reunion and adventure. I just knew it!</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">His response, however, was “New Orleans?” stated with a slight scowl. “What’s in New Orleans? Why they going there?”</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I was puzzled by his response. "Remember we were just talking about visiting the city?" I said. "I don’t know what made them choose that location, but it's an opportunity for us to spend time together. I'ts been so long.”</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Naw, the timing isn't right. We have so much going on? He countered.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“But I thought we were also planning to take vacation this summer?” I insisted.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Yeah, but not New Orleans!” He laughed.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the end, the decision was made that we would not be attending New Orleans. But that is only if M had to sponsor it. I didn't push the issue. After a little discussion about our plans and our family roadmap of success I agreed with him. It was not enough time for us to make the trip happen. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">But it made me feel like I wish I personally had disposable income to help take this spontaneous trip. I appreciate and value having a King and partner who is disciplined enough with our finances to keep us on a solid track. I appreciate knowing we are secure. I also would appreciate having streams of personal income that allow me to make some decisions as well. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">And that moment yesterday is my new why!</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It's my new reason to commit to living the Millionaire Moms Club Manifesto every day. It’s why I am willing to push out of my comfort zones, wake up earlier and work more diligently. So I am able to earn an income while still keeping my family, and my health my main priority.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: EB Garamond, serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">It would take a miracle (which I believe in) for me to earn enough money to finance this trip. With that in mind I am okay with not being able to make it. BUT, I want this to be the last time. I want to focus on my business so I am putting myself into financial position to have more leverage the next time an opportunity like this presents itself.</span></span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So what's your why?

And when orders are placed on your website, they are fulfilled by people other than the employees of your business. It’s a very hands off business structure that works great for products like accessories and tee shirts. You create the design, find a company to manufacture, then hookup with a drop ship company who stores your products and handles shipping out orders, handling returns and minor customer service tasks.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh58JmDzOzo2VGXguVqA32qltD3N0zHXUBRW_ZtYlbTVdiFsy-6pBfL8wulhVsp8h0KAt-v3rnQTmbLbaOIBAB5YSpybRnFkdU2Buw8LwbgWHKJsOmeIt7SdPXt7pYsfzRZBtDcbCzEX5pc/s1080/Copy+of+queensunshinebesuty.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh58JmDzOzo2VGXguVqA32qltD3N0zHXUBRW_ZtYlbTVdiFsy-6pBfL8wulhVsp8h0KAt-v3rnQTmbLbaOIBAB5YSpybRnFkdU2Buw8LwbgWHKJsOmeIt7SdPXt7pYsfzRZBtDcbCzEX5pc/w640-h640/Copy+of+queensunshinebesuty.PNG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><p></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "EB Garamond", serif; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The quality Shea Butter I make and sell in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/queensunshinebeauty/" target="_blank">Etsy Shop</a> is handmade in small batches.

Even though it is an aspect of my job that is satisfying, it is time consuming and as an entrepreneur I know my talents and time would be more lucrative if spent in other areas of the business.

I want to build a community that provides a safe space for like minded individuals and also earn an income from it.

To reach my goal I follow a health plan affectionately called, The “Family First, Business Second, But Really, </span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; text-align: justify; text-decoration-skip: none; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Me</span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> First!” Plan. </span></p><p><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">But <i>really</i>, </span><span id="docs-internal-guid-b4be6892-7fff-8f46-4a8f-cff6a6b07159" style="text-align: start; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“</span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-skip: none; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Me</span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> First Plan”</span></span></span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> because even though having a loving </span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">family</span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline;">is</span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> my main goal in life and having a successful career is second, </span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-skip: none; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">I won’t be any good for anyone or anything if I’m in poor health or dead!</span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> This requires me to manage my physical, emotional and social health as my top priority!</span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirwE9Fc6QYNeHc_ny_6og7GDvr6R1t-cA5i7uPM6ihRGgT17EVQQy4G61wcWfzh2qPQ_Hm5bxuavnGQP2GU014nj34X8ZCwkUtQlY_H3h0EpLXWpjbzIAAKFnLuBp2RK17_139FlQZWsus/s1080/Copy+of+Re_+Praise+Report%2521.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirwE9Fc6QYNeHc_ny_6og7GDvr6R1t-cA5i7uPM6ihRGgT17EVQQy4G61wcWfzh2qPQ_Hm5bxuavnGQP2GU014nj34X8ZCwkUtQlY_H3h0EpLXWpjbzIAAKFnLuBp2RK17_139FlQZWsus/w640-h640/Copy+of+Re_+Praise+Report%2521.png" width="640" /></a><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify; white-space: pre-wrap;">The social aspect of my health will be maintained by the relentless pursuit of my educational and career goals. It is very important to me to reach my potential in my career, not only so I can be a role model to my children and grandchildren, but also so I can be proud of the woman I am. I believe that sense of pride will enable me to make and pursue meaningful relationships with others. I intend to join professional organizations and use my career as the common ground on which I make friends and create a satisfying social network. </span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Therefore, my plan requires me to continue my education until I have earned the credentials necessary to launch my desired career. As a mom who is starting later than most, I have chosen an online school for my undergraduate degree since it enables me the flexibility to keep my family first. When my undergraduate degree is complete my youngest son will be ready for full-day kindergarten which will give me more flexibility when making the choice for graduate studies.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Finally, I learned throughout this course the need for autonomy as a prerequisite to emotional and social health. “Autonomy is one of the three basic psychological needs which are necessary for optimal growth and well-being” (Legault 2). I believe that by accomplishing my educational and career goals, I will gain true autonomy. Through my earning potential and ability to stand on my own as an independent woman, I will fully blossom and hold my head up high. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My decision to get into school at this age was in large part influenced by unhappiness and wanting more out of life. My best friend from high school recently came back into my life and I remembered all the plans I once had for myself. She reminded me of the teeneger I once was and how back then my future seemed so bright. I believed in myself. Once I confessed to her how dissatisfied I was, she asked me two simple questions. “What do you want?” “What do you need to do to get it?” The answer was, in so many words, autonomy. How to get it was through an education. And here I am! A student in an online University! I am committed to make my teenage self proud.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Read the <a href="https://www.sunshineabuwi.com/2021/01/me-first-plan-conclusion.html">Conclusion Here</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">References</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">American Heart Association.

font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> First” plan includes cooking healthful meals and incorporating exercise in ways that feel natural, managing my sleep hygiene and practicing other healthy, stress relief activities while aggressively pursuing my educational and career goals. This plan was set in motion at the beginning of 2018 when I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1xWovMpLLF9NqMwGSO-xrMZhoXOF79g3r4qz3ApxOMYiQXUgaqGH2rpSrq1AaaknY1fS1UlWNZA8PbXNJwt-BpRWSttoFoO7Zx5jZQGqSofr4ErStpPg1bmI8Tiifu23q-aiTVKiBUdVP/s1080/E487EBAA-A6B5-43C8-A3C6-B4182541C760.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1xWovMpLLF9NqMwGSO-xrMZhoXOF79g3r4qz3ApxOMYiQXUgaqGH2rpSrq1AaaknY1fS1UlWNZA8PbXNJwt-BpRWSttoFoO7Zx5jZQGqSofr4ErStpPg1bmI8Tiifu23q-aiTVKiBUdVP/w640-h640/E487EBAA-A6B5-43C8-A3C6-B4182541C760.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">I was engaged in unhealthy coping activities, I was tired and I felt like my life was going nowhere. I had to drag myself out of bed each morning and many days I felt like "what's the point". But something in me knew I had to keep going. If not for myself, I knew I had to at least keep going for my children. With the help of an old friend, I began working on a plan to pull myself out of the rut I was in. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">The plan included getting back in school and acting on the ideas I had for improving my parenting. At that time I had no idea I would be required to take a class that would have me elaborate on that plan and incorporate my physical and emotional health as well. But here I am. I feel like the decision to get back into school has already come full circle. Due to this class, I now have a roadmap to get where I want to be. I am equipped with the knowledge to make better eating habits, I feel confident I know the importance of being active and I feel motivated to keep going until all my goals are met.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">References</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">American Heart Association.

I am motivated to maintain my weight by a desire to look great in my clothes, and the desire to keep up with my children and grandchildren. I am also motivated by the link between obesity and disease. According to “African American Women and the Obesity Epidemic: A Systematic Review” by F. Knox-Kazimierczuk & M. Shockly-Smith (2015), “research indicates a correlation between weight, diabetes, and heart disease, with greater than 80% of overweight individuals suffering from type 2 diabetes.” Also, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention the leading cause of death for all Americans is heart disease (CDC, 2018). </span><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The best way for me to decrease my chances of premature death due to a preventable illness such as heart disease and diabetes is to maintain a healthy weight. The American Heart Association lists physical activity, healthy eating plan and reduced stress as ways to prevent heart disease in their article, “How to Prevent Heart Disease at Any Age” (2018). In “Simple Steps for Preventing Diabetes” (2018) on the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health website, maintaining a healthy weight, making healthier food choices, not smoking and limiting alcohol consumption are listed as ways to prevent diabetes. Taking all these tips into consideration, managing my weight is the best and easiest way to manage my physical health. Why? Because maintaining a healthy weight requires all the same things. I’ll just be killing two birds with one stone!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> “</span><span style="color: #222328; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">The American Heart Association's Diet and Lifestyle Recommendations” (2018)</span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> suggests making changes to a person's diet such as reducing red meat, having two to three servings of fruits and vegetables daily and reduced fast food outings as a way to a healthier life. Taking their advice and based on my previous experiences with dieting I have created a diet that works for my busy lifestyle, but allows me to have the things I like in moderation. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> Eating more of the right stuff is easier for me than completely omitting the bad stuff so as a habit I make smoothies every day for either breakfast or lunch which contains more than two full servings of fruit and vegetables plus flax seeds. I don’t cook red meat at home opting instead for fish and boneless, skinless poultry. But I do allow myself a great steak or a burger when out for a date night. Even though I love my wine, I have cut back drastically since taking this class and committing to my health. Learning that it was causing weight gain made it even easier to give up. I now limit myself to one, 5oz glass per incidence and have limited my incidences to one to two times per week. I am now working to increase my water intake.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Adding exercise into my lifestyle is key to maintaining my weight and following all the tips to preventing heart disease and diabetes as well. With just one child, I was able to get to the gym every day for two hours. Now, with two children, I just don’t have the time. To make exercise realistic in this season of my life I have incorporated it in a way that involves my children and or works around their schedules. I do things like take my boys to the track with me so they can run around or kick the ball while I do laps. I go for long walks early in the morning while they’re still asleep or in the evenings after dinner. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><p><u style="text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span></u></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I also strength train once a week using equipment we have in the garage while they’re otherwise occupied. We make exercise a family affair on weekends by going to the park together, playing soccer, racing each other and just kidding around. Becoming more serious about these changes while working on this paper has already resulted in the loss of two pounds, my skin looks amazing and I am much less bloated. Seeing results so soon is motivating me to keep pushing! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Next Step </span><u style="text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://www.sunshineabuwi.com/2021/01/managing-emotional-health-why-is-sleep.html">Managing Emotional Health</a></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u style="text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u style="text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div style="text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">References</span></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">American Heart Association.

Why is sleep important to my emotional health? According to “The Dark Night: The Casual Relationship Between Lack of Sleep and Mood Disorders” by Sarah Deweerdt (2013); “There is ample evidence that sleep and mood are entangled at the very root. People who sleep poorly are more likely to develop depression than those who sleep well.” Additionally, earlier in this course I learned the horrible side effects of not getting enough sleep. The list included “memory problems, depression, a weakening of your immune system, increasing your chance of becoming sick [and an] increase in perception of pain. (WebMD 2016)”. After learning that I conducted an experiment where I implemented the suggestions of sleep hygiene.</span></span></span></div><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> I set a consistent bedtime, which allowed me to be in bed one hour before I actually needed to fall asleep. During that time, I listened to guided meditations which helped me drift off into sleep. I cut off my caffeine intake at lunch time each day and even purchased two new pajama sets to make changing into bedclothes a pleasurable routine. The results were amazing! For the first time in a very long time I fell asleep easily and stayed asleep all night! I felt a lot less agitated during the day and seemed able to bounce back more easily from obstacles during the day. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My personal victory with improving my sleep and thus improving my mood was substantiated by Deweerdt when she wrote that patients of hers who kept regular schedules for waking, eating, socializing and going to sleep “seem[ed] to be protected against new episodes of bipolar disorder” and such consistent sleep helped people come out of their depression more quickly (Deweerdt 2013). Since starting the experiment I haven’t gone back to my old, unorganized ways of getting to sleep. I will continue to manage my sleep hygiene and stay committed to my bedtime.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Learning healthier ways to handle my stress is another way I intend to manage my emotional health. According to the CDC, “Coping with Stress”, (2018) “stress can be beneficial. It can help people develop the skills they need to deal with possible threatening situations throughout life. Stress is not helpful when it prevents a person from taking care of themselves or their family”. In the past I smoked cigarettes to deal with stress, I also relied on alcohol to calm my nerves. Neither of these were healthy ways to cope. They actually exasperated the issues. I would end up feeling more stressed over the self-destructive behaviors I was engaging in! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><p><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Moving forward, I will rely more heavily on yoga, journaling and taking walks to cope with my stress. The way I incorporate these activities into my lifestyle is simple. I have always enjoyed writing and have cute notebooks scattered all over the house. Whenever I just have to write something there is a pad within arm’s reach. I also have an ongoing “Google Doc” named “Journal” where I keep a diary of what is going on with me. Also, as a result of getting better sleep and adhering to a wake schedule, I am able to journal in the mornings before my family gets out of bed! My next goal is to add a fifteen-minute daily yoga practice to my morning routine. Yoga is dear to my heart and prior to having children, I would take classes in a studio. The knowledge and love of the practice has stayed with me so I just pull out my mat and strike a pose whenever I feel like it. Becoming more consistent with my practice is a commitment I am making to myself so I can again reap the amazing benefits of it.</span></div><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="text-align: center; white-space: normal;">Next Step </span><u style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.sunshineabuwi.com/2021/01/managing-social-economic-health-what-is.html">Social & Economic Health</a></u></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><u style="text-align: center;"><br /></u></span></span></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">References</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">American Heart Association.

Wife, Mom, Natural Hair Rockstar, Online Entrepreneur, Success Coach, Friend, Writer, Vlogger, Creator and Modern Day Proverbs 31 Woman. I like to think of myself as living on purpose and so far these are the purposes I have aligned with. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Loving, supporting and building my healthy, happy family.<br />Learning to be confident in my Kinky Curly Afro textured crown.<br />Creating multiple streams of easy, joyful, satisfying income.<br />Feeling confident, secure and worthy of abundance.<br />Sharing all I learn with those who are seeking this information.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFXnXlk23cv53pCF5AOCpt2RQ2gPewrEyfeMRU_A238bPD47FTjfHhzEAlHxWgJv2b_Sa9ABoEtN9KE9TmBnIsXeQLx0eg59nREGAAgu3lEJZHGt8j7QX6_p_pCNXIcjudLvZEtMcMVHuq/s2048/Motivation+to+inspire+action.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFXnXlk23cv53pCF5AOCpt2RQ2gPewrEyfeMRU_A238bPD47FTjfHhzEAlHxWgJv2b_Sa9ABoEtN9KE9TmBnIsXeQLx0eg59nREGAAgu3lEJZHGt8j7QX6_p_pCNXIcjudLvZEtMcMVHuq/w640-h640/Motivation+to+inspire+action.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />I’ve been sharing my life online over ten years as a motivational YouTube Vlogger, and YouTube Reality Show star. From my show with my husband , “On the Couch with Sunshine and M”, to videos of my now eleven year old when he was just ten weeks old; to sharing intimate moments on my battle with depression and anxiety. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />During the ten years, I took a few breaks from consistent streaming and focused more closely on the health, happiness and success of my family. I used to see those breaks as a sign of weakness, I now celebrate them as signs of my dedication to my family thus solidifying my status as a #Mompreneur. I AM a Entrepreneur, but a mom and wife first and foremost.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />There is no denying however, my natural connection with my audience and the easy success I have on the wonderful platforms of YouTube and Blogger. I feel like I was born to be a Vlogger; to humbly share my journey as a mom, wife, online entrepreneur and spiritual being. I have fallen in love with sharing my life in this way and can’t imagine a successful version of my life without it.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVLuby4TTBB-dE26vCjm5bE9DB8w7GAkGFR0dqav5wkEI4wun86iDh0aPeWpc_ccygq0rDk5P5BPvk-LBMXSBBF7DCVIkBTrTA9OlUbfuQyx5EOF2wGoe8vMDSGrE6LUgUgq9skwlCepDc/s2048/Word+of+the+Strong.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVLuby4TTBB-dE26vCjm5bE9DB8w7GAkGFR0dqav5wkEI4wun86iDh0aPeWpc_ccygq0rDk5P5BPvk-LBMXSBBF7DCVIkBTrTA9OlUbfuQyx5EOF2wGoe8vMDSGrE6LUgUgq9skwlCepDc/w640-h640/Word+of+the+Strong.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Welcome to my Life In The Sunshine! I’m glad you’re here. If you are seeking a connection with a humble being trying to live her best life and share her jewels as she collects them, you’re in the right place.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />For 2021, I am inspired to share the “scripts” I wrote in 2020 that helped me make it though quarantine as a single mom of two. Not only do I credit these scripts with keeping me sane through that challenging time, I also believe these scripts helped me break through a glass ceiling in my feelings of confidence, security and worthiness. The collection of scripts are “Scripting Like a MomBoss Volume One” and “Scripting Like a MomBoss Volume Two”. Volume One got me out of a mental rut and Volume Two pushed me to accept and don my crown as Queen Mother Sunshine. I’ll be sprinkling them here on the website and offering downloadable E:Guides Spring 2021.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Connecting with you here and now is a result of those scripts and I am thankful! So sit back, scroll through the many blogs and videos that span the last decade of my life. I hope something resonates and simply by observing my processes, perspectives and preferences you are inspired in your own journey. Can’t wait to connect wth you in the comments. <br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Your new friend,<br />#SunshineAbuwi</span></div><p>

Tuesday May 19, 2020<br />
<br />
Today I Am focusing on my goals because that keeps me motivated to push ahead. Today I am remembering the final destination that’s at the end of this road I am traveling. I’m acknowledging that just like any journey there is a start and traveling time and an arrival time. I am focusing on the (Just around the corner) arrival to my goals.<br />
<br />
Today I am thankful for all the strength given to me to push ahead each day. I am thankful for all the goals I have already reached while on this journey.<br />
<br />
Today I am focusing on:<br />
Knowing I Am the mom I desire to be.<br />
Knowing I Am the professional blogger I desire to be.<br />
Knowing financial abundance is on its way towards me.<br />
Knowing my perspectives and preferences are valuable.<br />
Knowing there is an audience ripe and ready for my content.<br />
Knowing I Am qualified.<br />
Knowing I Am closer than ever before.<br />
Knowing help is here.<br />
Knowing health is here.<br />
Knowing joy is here.<br />
Knowing success is here.<br />
Knowing confidence is here.<br />
Knowing progress is here.<br />
Knowing my faith is strong.<br />
Knowing I am worthy of good things.<br />
Knowing I am rich.<br />
<br />
Today I Am thankful for another opportunity to love my children, share my blessings and enjoy my work. It might not be easy but I’m strong enough.<br />
<br />
Amen.<br />
