2020 So Far…
Now that I’m currently resetting my life…again…like many of you…I’m reflecting back on 2020 so far. Here’s a look back at my year:
January: Happy New Year and Happy Birthday to Me! Kicked off the year with an exciting week at my favorite annual conference, the American Meteorological Society’s Annual Meeting and Centennial Celebration in Boston. I also found out that I was pregnant…didn’t expect to start the year with baby news!
February: Feeling excited about the year ahead and implementing my goals, I attended the Spark Christian Podcasters Conference in Houston to improve and perfect my new-found passion of podcasting!
March: I was dealing with first trimester sickness so I needed life to slow down…
April: I found ways to appreciate the slower pace of life as the world attempted to flatten the curve of COVID-19. You know, baking, gardening, Zoom meet-ups & Houseparty with family and friends. I also launched Season 2 of my podcast, Angel Reads the Bible à www.angelreadsthebible.com
May: I thought I had the current norm all figured out and started the month strong! I was the guest speaker at a virtual conference for #mamahustlers, the Launch and Lead Like a Mama conference…then had my world shaken up with racial injustice issues really coming to light.
June: I attempted to push forward, but I was in the throws of completing my M.S. degree in Environmental Policy and Management…I finally earned my M.S. y’all! #classof2020 At least my family and I found time to get away in a safe, socially distanced manner by camping in Savannah, GA.
July: Finally able to breathe after completing school, I buckled down to turn my life goals into actual plans-of-action for the future. I was also balancing being a wife, mom, baking a baby, ministering in a church (virtually), working remotely 9-to-5, home remodeling, and maintaining my sanity…
August: Still doing most of the above, but NOW I’m implementing my plans in order to disconnect next month for the birth of my baby girl and remain on track to accomplish my goals, though that track isn’t always the clearest.
So what’s next?
…I trust God.
…I welcome my new baby.
…I finish the year strong.
