Feeling stuck...but I am still alive!
Normally, I come home and I can't wait to write because I have had some strong epiphanic moments throughout the day. Well, today was no different but because my brain has been working overtime, I honestly can't remember what happened today and I don't like that. I literally feel like I'm stuck in quicksand and drowning slowly. Moving fast...to go nowhere and that level of stuck feels so frustrating. My hope is that I get the necessary nap/rest/whatever to push through because

Bend...but don’t break!
Whew y’all! I felt like I was fighting for my life...ALL DAY LONG today! I held my own, but it was a real battle! Just when you think you’re ok, the enemy goes into overdrive to try to kill your joy and your momentum. The only way to defeat the enemy is with God! No matter what gets thrown your way, you have to trust and believe that all will be well, because it will be. You can bend, but don’t you dare break! In this life I have learned how to bend. I've bent schedules, expe

What are you budgeting for?
I won't hold y'all long! So I told y'all church was real good yesterday and I even shared the link (sharing it again because it was that good) so you could go see for yourself. Did you look? Be honest! If you did, great! If you didn't that's cool too! The way Pastor Jackson broke down the importance of having a budget resonated with me in a way that I never expected. I am all over the place when it comes to spending but that isn't the only currency that is being overextende

We had a time tonight!!!
Y'all when I tell y'all I had a blast, I mean it was the absolute best time I have had in a while outside of a concert or music event. My bestie, DeBlair Tate put her all into her "Ladies Night Out" event and she DID NOT MISS! If you are ready to make some real changes in your life through structured coaching then you should reach out to my girl. This event was the result of a tremendous amount of thought and planning.

What now?
Every day brings about its own challenges. Today, I was fighting a combo of decision fatigue with a side of intrusive thoughts wondering if simple things would be taken care of…whole time God and my mama were working in tandem to make sure their daughter was okay. Everyday I smile even when most days I really want to cry…not because I’m sad but because I’m overwhelmed with having to make decisions ALL the time. Decision fatigue is real and it can be crippling! But instead of

I, MichelleRena, Unsubscribe...
So initially I was prepping to write a post about unsubscribing from all of the many unneeded shopping apps and text reminders that I receive daily encouraging poor financial stewardship. But as I typed the word “unsubscribe” something triggered me and I had to pause for a few moments… (hours) actually. Everybody who says “new year, new me” ain’t wrong. For some of us, the newness of the year is exactly the reset that we need to refocus our goals or even to unsubscribe from s

Currently overwhelmed…but shoutout to My Sorors!
Hey y’all! I am currently overworked and completely overwhelmed today. The level of emotional lifting that I have had to do has been extremely exhausting. So this is all I have to give today. Happy Founders Day to the amazing women of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated! I said “my Sorors!” If your timeline wasn’t taken over by crimson and cream today, who are your friends? Just kidding! I love y’all! Don’t be a joy thief! Love, MichelleRena
