Coffee Date No. 13: Happy Love Month!

Posted on February 5, 2018February 7, 20193min read

online coffee date with online friendships

Happy Monday, guys!!! And just like that, the first month of 2018 is over. I have a feeling that this year will go by fast, but will feel slow. What do you think?

Anyway, I have some pretty lofty goals this year and I’m sure you do too. 

For our monthly coffee date, I want to talk about how your first month of 2018 went, what you did, how you’re feeling, your best purchase for the winter season and if you’re looking forward to the spring season.

For coffee date No. 13, I want to know…

How did your first month of 2018 go? 

  1. How did January go? What did you do? Where did you go?
  2. How are you currently feeling? It can be about life, career, personal…
  3. What has been your best purchase(s) for the winter season?
  4. With 43 days left until winter is over, are you looking forward to spring? If so, aside from weather, what are you looking forward to?
  5. What have you achieved in January in terms of your goals?

My updates:

  1. Honestly, my January went down the crapper. I took a few vacation days during the first week and got sick the following week. I’ve been trying to recover from the “after effects” and am dealing with constant coughing and exhaustion. I didn’t go anywhere in terms of traveling. Pretty sure I wouldn’t even if I had the chance.
  2. If I’m being totally vulnerable, as I’m writing this post, I’m not feeling motivated at all. I know that my current health condition plays a big role so I’m trying my best to push through. As someone who is constantly on the go, it’s been very frustrating and annoying as I feel like I’m going so slow. I can’t work out much either because I’ve been coughing to a point where I’m dry heaving. However, I am blessed that I feel better and am on the mend. I’m sure that by the time this post publishes, I’ll be out of my mini rut.
  3. The best purchase for the winter season has been these cozy house slippers (which are 40% off right now) and a jar of Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Hyaluronic Marine Oil-Free Moisture Cushion. My skin has been super dry this winter so I invested in a skincare brand I believe that would help me. I’ll be experimenting with a different brand in the coming months and I can’t wait!
  4. You’re not going to believe what I’m about to say. I AM looking forward to spring. Gasp! “What did you just say, Winter Girl?” I know, I figured if I didn’t get snow like everyone else did and barely got cold weather, let’s move on instead of toying with me, aiight Mother Nature? I’m also looking forward to releasing weight, evolving my style and putting together more looks.
  5. From a health point, I’ve learned to just let go and rest. I’ve listened to my body more and give it what it needs. For the blogging side of things, I’ve been able to partner with three brands! More to come on that for sure! 

Comment below and let me know how your first month of 2018 went, what you did, how you’re feeling, your best purchase for the winter season and if you’re looking forward to the spring season!

Whatever you’re going through, just know that it’s only a season in your life. Keep pushing!

To my grandma who is halfway across the world, I thank God immensely because it all began with you.

Thank you for encouraging your daughter to come to America to live a better life.

Because of your sacrifices, I get to have my most precious gift and cherish her with every fiber of my being. I love you so much.

Mom, thank you for your courage and bravery to come to America with nothing except a knitted handbag and coat on your back.

Thank you for passing on your wisdom and teaching me about emotional intelligence before EQ even became a thing.

Thank you for teaching me that you’re never too old to learn about anything.

Thank you for always reminding me to not stress or worry.

Thank you for always making sure I have food even when I’m full.

Thank you for making me laugh endlessly.

And mom, don’t think I don’t notice that you put the best pieces of food on my plate instead of yours.

My word, I am so incredibly and abundantly blessed to have a mom like you! 

I love you SO much, mẹ! God, you broke the mold when You made her!

Another year without you. It’s hard to believe you left us 14 years ago.

Sometimes I wonder what our conversations would be like if you were still with us…if you’d already be retired or still be doing what you loved, what you’d think of world events, and if you’d finally come to a place where you could tell us stories from the war.

No matter what, I’m going to keep your memory alive. I love and miss you, daddy!

Happy Easter Weekend, loves!

Spent today reflecting on Christ’s love for us and I’m still in awe that until we meet Him, we still won’t understand the magnitude of His love.

Tonight, I’ll be making my return to the gym after two long years!!!

So happy I got clearance from my chiropractor to lift weights again!

Not going to lie, I’m nervous, but I’m more excited because I’ve missed it so much.

I hate having to start all over again, but to know that I GET to work out is such a huge blessing!

Y’all know I love my @apl, so what better way to celebrate than a new, neutral-colored pair of workout shoes?

Goodbye winter!!! Don’t take it personally…I used to love you.

I just prefer sunny walks, flowers and trees blooming, baby ducks swimming, and birds chirping.

Don’t worry. Unlike Ross and Rachel, I have it on record that we’re officially on a break. 

Not sure if I hate your ice storms more or tornado warnings (like the one we just had just now).😑

How do you take your coffee — iced or hot?

Iced all year round for me.🧊

Oh and whoever invented bean water, thank you. You became a hero the day you threw some beans into hot water and created this magical elixir.

Life was breathed into us so that we may live to have the chance to love and help others.

Think about it.

When you leave this Earth, no longer will you have any more chances to love and help the people surrounding you.

The chance to smile to make someone's day better is gone. The ability to make someone laugh is done. The chance to hug someone to make them feel better is over.

It's all gone.

The opportunity to help others and show them love is here and NOW. Who says you have to love by yourself?

Love is more powerful when you have a body of people who are on the same mission as you. Do you have people in your life you can love others with? I can definitely say that I do.

Every day, ask yourself, “What am I doing with this day that has been graciously given to me?”
