I’m stressed fam. It’s week three of January and I’m at that point already where I’m asking myself “have I bitten off more than I can chew?” “Did I over estimate my potential?” “Can I really do this?”

About a minute ago, those thoughts were stressing me out and I was going to write about them, but as I’m writing this right now, I’m realizing that maybe those thoughts are the exact markers I needed to know that I’m on the right track. Think about it, if I wasn’t pushing myself, if I was succumbing to every discouragement or distraction and taking it easy for the sake of taking it easy, these thoughts wouldn’t even be in my head…The only reason I am able to ask myself those questions is because of all of the crazy planning and building that I am currently doing.

This quick little post is just a reminder and encouragement to all of you doing big things this year. The last three weeks may not have gone the way you’d hoped. They may feel harder than you’ve anticipated. But as long as you are moving forward you’re on your way. Keep doing just that.

This weekend I’m going to be doing something new and exciting. I just registered for a vision board party on Eventbrite. This event is being held in Rhode Island and the simple goal of it is to inspire, empower and create women leaders. I heard about it through instagram and I decided to go wayyyyy outside of my introvert shell and sign up…hopefully I’ll actually go (I will, I will).

It looks like it will be a great way to connect with some like minded women of all ages from my community. I’m primarily excited to hear from the speakers who themselves are successful business owners in Rhode Island. I’m so ready to breakout my scissors, magazines and glue sticks and be inspired by these women. It may only be January, but I think we could all use an extra dose of motivation and inspiration.

Till next time,
