Welcome August! Fresh month and a fresh start. New monthly goals are in play. This month is exciting for me. Last year in August, I published two books, and I will publish one this month. I am so grateful and looking forward to what the month can bring. I have new goals I am working on and new projects I will be starting. Get It Done!
August is also my birthday month, so that is exciting as well. Happy August, people.
Do you have any monthly goals? Are any projects coming this month? Starting anything new?
May this month bring you love, happiness, and blessings.
It is confession time and yes, I am sharing this and honestly, I don’t know if I should be embarrassed about this or not lol. Share and Confess
So, I am 36 years old, and next August, I will be the big 37, and guess what? I still do not know how to drive. Yeah, crazy, right. I have a fear of driving and also being in cars, traffic period. My sister recently asked me why and what the problem is she feels me not driving is an issue. And honestly, it is kind of is I do have 2 kids and have to get around more easily. To get around, I take buses and Lyfts/cabs, and even in those, I am scared. She says that I am putting my life in others’ hands instead of driving myself. I feel even if you drive yourself, you are still in others’ hands because you do not know how a person will be on the road. The fear started when I was a teenager, I had gotten into a couple of wrecks, and since then, I had just been scared. I have tried only twice. The first time, I was 26 years old and drove around the block twice and was like I am done. And the second time, it was just down the street, and I stopped myself and didn’t want to finish. Want to get over this fear and take those steps to learn how to drive and be confident in it. Try to tell myself to just do it but it is not easy for me. I probably get made fun of it due to my age and not being able to get anywhere I want. My kids even tell me I need to drive. It is so frustrating having this fear and I don’t know what to do about it. Want to be able to drive so I can take my kids places without paying extra for cabs and waiting for them. I am going to do some research on how I can calm myself and my mind and not think negatively when it comes to driving and cars. I kind of hate that it is this way and constantly question myself on why not just try. Why not get in a car and freaking drive ugghh? I annoy myself, I tell you lol.
I wanted to write this because lately, with a new year coming up, it has been on my mind. I would love to be able to move around more freely and want to get it done, stop being scared and a baby about it. Maybe I should take a driving class or some type of therapy. I don’t know. I must figure it out seriously. HELP!
Is anybody else struggling to face their fears? Care to share those fears? Any tips for me?
This month has been crazy; honestly kind of pissed that I did not meet all my goals for this month. Been feeling out of sorts and still thankful for what the month has brought. I finally finished the rough draft for Anything For The Take II, so that was great. Still working on the book cover and editing.
I am excited and looking forward to next month, to new beginnings, and, of course, to new goals to work towards. How has this month been for you all? Good? Bad? Meh? Or are you just not feeling it at all?
Happy that I will be publishing two books in August. Again, ready for the new month!
I am praying for better days and still trying to remain positive through it all.
