Today is my 38th birthday, and as always, it&#x27;s a mix of joy and sorrow. The happiness comes from adding another year to my life, but the sadness stems from the fact that today is also my late mother&#x27;s birthday. She&#x27;s in heaven now, and I miss her deeply. Sometimes, when thoughts of her overwhelm me, I find solace in private moments, shedding tears in the solitude of my room or the bathroom. I don&#x27;t want my kids to witness my vulnerability.I wish my mother were alive to witness the life I&#x27;ve built and to see my four wonderful children. It&#x27;s unfortunate that she passed away at a young age.Unfortunately, I&#x27;ve been unwell since yesterday, and I haven&#x27;t been able to create any content for posting or send out newsletters. Both my kids and I are under the weather, so there&#x27;s no cake or celebration for me this year. I&#x27;ve opted to stay away from social media today to focus on resting and recharging. The demands of social media can be challenging, as I strive to find my own voice and share meaningful content.

38th Birthday: A Mix of Joy and Sorrow

Today is a fantastic day! I successfully scheduled a new issue of PicAisso a whole 12 hours ahead of my publishing schedule. This marks the first time I&#x27;ve met the timeline I set for myself, and I couldn&#x27;t be happier or prouder. I&#x27;m determined to maintain this level of productivity because, as they say, ideas are just ideas without the work to back them up!However, there are moments when I inexplicably feel down, especially in the evenings. I find myself feeling helpless, demotivated, and somewhat lost about my purpose. To combat this, I believe it&#x27;s crucial to jot down what truly excites me. That way, I can refer to it whenever I hit those low points, much like my daily "One Good Thing" list that keeps me grounded and grateful.

Finding Motivation and Success: Conquering Challenges and Embracing Excitement

I&#x27;ve come to recognize that my thoughts and actions have often led me to failure. This realization has had a significant impact on my work and daily life, making me feel like I&#x27;ve failed both as a mother and as a human being.Recently, I shared with my friend Ilze that I was considering getting a coach. She asked me why I felt the need for one, and I explained that I was seeking guidance. In response, she wisely told me that a coach&#x27;s role is to ask me a lot of questions because the answers I seek are already within me.This insight struck me deeply. I do possess the answers to many of my challenges, so why am I not consistently making the right and effective choices?

My Musings

Yesterday, I fell ill, and I&#x27;m currently writing this with a fever persisting. Unfortunately, I couldn&#x27;t make any progress on FemmeStock for my 50 Day Focus Challenge. Sleep was elusive, especially with my kids being unwell too. It seems like my body is signaling the need for rest. Despite missing out on yesterday, I still have today. I&#x27;m determined to accomplish my tasks, prioritize what truly matters, and contribute more value to FemmeStock.
