Reading

Listen, the clutter struggle is REAL in this house. I mean..if you saw photos….

Anyhoo, I heard about this book from a few friends and since I had nothing to loose…I’m working my way through it and have ALL OF THE PLANS. One of my friends said someting about spreadsheets and stuff….

Listening

I tried…The Weeknd’s new CD. Note, I said I TRIED. I actually like Can’t Feel My Face just like the rest of the world. I can’t stand Earned it. But I was willing to try….but nawl man. I’ll stick to my Jodeci, my Boys II Men, my Erykah Badu, My Jill Scott..Cause nawl. My almost 40-year-old taste is not feeling this new shit. Nope. Next.

Making

Plans to try out Periscope for the month of October. I am not really a video person, which is surprising since I used to VLOG. I’ve been wondering how I could utilize periscope for this blog but couldn’t really figure it out. So I’ve joined up with Melissa over at Blog Clarity and her #periscopewithpurpose. Join up! My Periscope is http://periscope.tv/lashawnwiltz. Hope to see you over there this month! Don’t let me scope all alone! LOL

Feeling

Worn down. I took the week off of blogging and social media to get my life together off line. I realized that I had been neglecting a lot of things in my personal life( like sleep, exercise, eating right) chasing after these bloggy coins. And that has got to stop. I work full time. I mother full time. I try to wife, full time. Blogging and all that that entails needs to be way down on my totem pole. Self-care is the new buzz word, but that’s because we all need to do it.  That being said, I miss blogging just to blog. I miss the time when I could blog and not worry about what “value” I’m providing for readers or how pinnable it is or did I used the right keywords.  I miss the time when just my words and my stories were the value. I’m going to be getting back to that in the last quarter of the year. Because if I’m going to do this blogging thing, I’m going to enjoy it. If you want to read a blog about real everyday life with pretty photos and an occasional tutorial on doing it yourself, stick around. Cause that’s the plan.

Loving

October.

I admit that I didn’t realize that I loved them until recent years. I’ve been reading old books that I read as a child and a teenager. Last week, I was reading Anne Of Green Gables and this line popped out at me ..

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”

Yes, Yes I am.

Planning

October 1st marks the last quarter of the year in the business world. Like I said on Instagram earlier this week, even if you aren’t in business, making a plan for the end of the year is CRUCIAL to enjoying it. After Halloween, the hustle and bustle of the holiday season can break even the strongest of us down. If you hadn’t started already, October is the perfect time to start saving for Christmas/the Holidays and making to do lists. We’ve got Disney in a little over a month and I have plans on top of plans and the to-do list to end all to-do lists going on around here. I’m in full DISNEY planning mode…

So that’s it! What’s currently going on in your life??
