Challenge me...

HEY YOU!! | It's been a few weeks... ok 5 weeks (lol) since my last post. I took some more time away to try to get my business back up and poppin! I hate to admit, but I took a little time down for my business, from school, from everything pretty much except for my paying job lol. I just needed to regain some ME, if that makes sense. ANYWHO! I'm BIZACK and what better way to jump back (& stay back) than to do a post challenge! :) While checking my blog emails one day, I saw an email from a friend's blog. I saw that the subject line had "challenge" in it and I was pulled in! I didn't immediately jump on it, but after her third post I wanted in! Hopefully she's reading, HEYYY ALEXIS!! *waves* You can check out her challenge(s) here : LexxSpeaks

Today is day 10 of the challenge so I'm going to start there and go back to the others days. If you would like to jump in on the challenge, PLEASE do so! Share your link with me, I'd love to read more responses! Hope you enjoy mine below!

30 Day Challenge

Day 9 : How Important I think Education Is

You know, this is something that I personally battle with. First let me say, school isn't for everyone. When I say that, I mean every person is not meant to go to school. This could range from just not wanting to apply themselves to the career choice not needing a traditional 4 year degree. Now, if the career you would like to have requires a 4 year degree, go get your blessing! However, if you just want want to get a quick certification or diploma and start working, do that! Heck, if you only need a high school diploma and can do what you want with life, do that! For me and what I want to do, I would like to complete my degree. I have a little while to go, but I will finish. I HAVE to finish. I want to become a business owner and while I don't necessarily have to have a degree to do that, I want to so I can have the knowledge to support my passion and vision. So for me, school is very important for me to get to my next level.

Day 8 : What you ate today!

This AM: I got a muffin from the cafeteria. I tried to get grits with sausage and bacon but they didn't have any sausage :(

Lunch: I had left overs: red beans & rice with baked chicken with a candy apple for dessert (hmmm, it was SO good)

Dinner: My kids wanted to do a party night so we had rotel, hot wings, and pizza.

Day 7 : My Pet Peeves

You know, I don't think I have that many, lol. I actually had to think about this one while I was in the shower, but here it goes...

1- Releasing gas and not saying excuse me - lmao, yea, I went there right out the gate. So yea, just say excuse me! Even better don't do it by me if you can help it. Thanks to my family I have kind of gotten use to it now though, lol

2- Broken promises - as I mentioned before, I am a words person. I believe "your word is your bond". Do what you say you're going to do, and we'll be fine.

3-People saying something for me to say sum - this one might just be me, but this makes my nose itch! I've been in a conversation where the person would say something just left field and hit you with the silence like they're waiting for you to ask a question or respond in some dramatic away. That's not me... just let me know the whole story, dang!

I think that's all... If I think of more I'll update it

Day 6 : Your Views on Mainstream Music

Well, I said above that I have a deep love for music and this is VERY true. Music can change my mood fast as hell! I can go from crying to laughing and dancing in a matter of minutes thanks to some Boosie! lol The new music that's out now is different but like T.I and others have said, music evolves with each generation. To me, the 90s had some of the best music, nothing will ever compare. Glad I'm a 90s baby :)

Day 5 : Thing I want to say to an ex…

Dear Ex,

Honestly, I never thought I'd have to call you an ex. I wanted and thought the train stopped with you but it only slowed down. I appreciate everything we had, and everything we still have. You have blessed my life in many ways, and I want to say thank you! While things didn't turn out how we imagined, I pray that you continue to be blessed. If you ever need me, you know how to find me. Love, Me

Day 4 : Recap a Typical Day

It really said to bullet your whole day, but my format isn't like a bullet so I changed the title :)

1st alarm goes off at 5:30, I press snooze to get more sleep

I press snooze again at 5:40...

then again at 5:50...

6:00 I'm laying thinking or meditating

6:20 I go and wake the kids to get ready for the bus

Once they're up & going, I complete my meditation or I try to get more sleep... it's a battle between the two lol

6:40 I am up again trying to get myself together to go

7:00 everyone is out of the house

7:30 pulling into work

7:40 I decide on breakfast (recently I've been leaving back out to go get outside food such as Chic-Fil-A spicy chicken deluxe. I swear it taste better before 10 AM

Work until 4:30/5:00

Depending on the day my daughter may have tutoring

Grab food or groceries to feed my folks

Dinner is usually around 7 or a little after

8:15, bed time for kids and down time for me - I clean or take care of things

between 9:00-10:00, I'm in the tub or shower relaxing, getting ready to do it all again

Day 3 : A book you Love

A book that I love,love, love, is 2pac's poem book. I read this book when I was in middle school at a local starbucks. It stuck with me. I purchased a copy and I fell in love. His poems are so... touching... so... everything! So many of them I can relate to all too well.

Day 2 : Something you feel strongly about

I feel strongly about going off of energies/ vibes. I have really been getting into being more in touch with my inner self, and with this I've been exploring and learning things about energy and vibes. I believe wholeheartedly that we determine the outcome of many things and the way we put things out into the world is how they'll come back to us. So, I really strive to put out positivity so I get it back in overflow!

Day 1 : Ways To Win My Heart!

Just be and do you boo! lol No, but seriously, just be you! That's the fastest way to get to my heart. When people genuinely show who they are, I appreciate the authenticity and that will carry a lot of weight with me.

Hope ya'll enjoyed! Be on the lookout for the remainder of the challenge!

Honestly,

MARY
