#tbt to that one time in Mexico
⁣
So here’s the thing. By now my mask wearing and hand cleansing has become so routine that I feel I can do it anywhere in the world.
⁣
Do you agree or disagree?
⁣
I’m preparing to travel.....SAFELY!
⁣
If you haven’t, check out the @royaltonrivieracancunofficial where you can choose to stay on the couple’s only side or family side. Hey options for the win.

Hi I’m Nia and I’ll make your life better if you let me. 😏

The thing about quitting is that it’s easy.

Ever want something but was afraid to do it simply because you feared the execution..the process? Yea, me too.

But I’m here to tell you that there’s no guarantee that you will fail. Your failure is in never starting. Tuh!

Here are 3 ways to get started:

1. Put it (whatever you want to do) on paper and tape it to your bathroom mirror.
2. Put it on your calendar (the date you choose to do it by).
3. Set it as your Home Screen on your phone (serves as a constant reminder).

When something’s in your face, you’re more apt to tend to it.

And remember:

“There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask "What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?”-Eric Hanson

Soar to the summit. You deserve to be your best self.

Hi, I’m Nia and I will make your life better if you let me.

MONEY: $7,600 credit card balance 😳
⁣
I didn’t use to understand how someone could have a $20k credit card balance. But the Lord said, “Let me show you how.” 😒 He’s funny like that, ya know?
⁣
On Mondays we talk money. A long while back I told you I was on a journey to #financialfreedom and I’m pleased at the progress. Roughly, $20k is where I started.
⁣
I’ve been soaking up all the knowledge about money lately and can’t wait to share what I’ve learned....here on Mondays. 🙃
⁣
Takeaway lesson I missed in my youth: ALWAYS PAY THE BALANCE IN FULL. ALWAYS.

HAPPY MONDAY! This caption won’t make sense if you didn’t watch the video.

The word I want you to carry this week is SETTLE.

The other day I was listening to a podcast (@seekwisdompcw) which I’d highly recommend by the way if you’re interested in being wealthy in every aspect of your life.

The one word that I felt I kept hearing with a bullhorn was SETTLE.

Do you feel that there are areas in your life where you SETTLE? It’s ok to be honest. Let me know in the comments.

It resonated with me in so many ways. I’ve settled for relationships (in general) where the other person clearly wasn’t giving as much as I. I’ve settled in jobs where I feel unappreciated. I’ve settled for bad service in restaurants. I’ve settled for food that didn’t taste good. You get the point. Just SETTLED.

Well today, we stop settling. Yes we because I am you and you are me. We’re sisters (or brothers because I don’t discriminate) traveling through life together. We stop settling because we know our worth and know we deserve more and then some.

Affirmation of the week: I will not settle for less than I deserve.

I’m Nia and I’m going to make your life better.

#sponsored Hey #columbiaSC are you wearing your mask everywhere you go, everyday? The fastest way back to normalcy is to #maskupColumbiaSC.
⁣
Together with @walmart, @ColumbiaSC, and @ColaSCed, I want to send the reminder and show you how easy it is to wear your mask and stay safe when in public.
⁣
Don't forget to keep a small bottle of hand sanitizer to clean your hands before taking your mask off when you return to your car. #ColumbiaSC #cscmbt #ColumbiaSCmom #StayingSafe #SocialDistancingSafely #ColumbiaSCstrong #sodacitysc #sodacity #sodacitymarket #columbiascphotographer #colasc #columbiasouthcarolina

I was duped. Duped into believing that I had to go to college and work for someone else until retirement. No one ever told me to chase my dreams unless money was involved. So now, here I am at 35, looking to change gears and change careers.
⁣
Freedom is the goal. Freedom to come and go on my terms. Freedom to be with who I want on my terms. Just freedom.
⁣
Healthcare to business has reminded me to always be in learning mode. I’m constantly learning, and I’ll be a serial entrepreneur in the end.

CEO? Drop a lesson in the comments you wish you knew when you started.

And enjoy your day! 😘

One quote that inspires me is this one by @iammikk

One quote that inspires me is this one by @iammikkitaylor from her book, “Editor in Chic”.
⁣
I first was made aware of this book by the @seekwisdompcw podcast which is ah-mazing if you need all the things positive.
⁣
I frequently question why some people treat themselves the way that they do. It ultimately boils down to the fact that they don’t honor themselves.
⁣
In my own journey of self discovery, I’ve learned to definitely honor my worth and walk through life with purpose.
⁣
You are a QUEEN too and I hope this quote serves you as it serves me.

Hi, I’m Nia and I believe in always being better today than yesterday.

I don’t always enjoy motherhood. 🤷🏽‍♀️
.
.
.
Recently, I discovered that motherhood doesn’t meet the expectations I’d dreamed of, which is why I’m struggling in that department. Parenting is hard AF and that’s not something people put on those cute “words of encouragement” at any baby shower.
⁣
I envy people with a whole, POSITIVE, village out there. 😩The breaks from parenting are so necessary.
⁣
I started out set to be a mommy blogger but the more time passes, I’m reminded that I do NOT want to lose myself in motherhood.
⁣
Any other woman ever having these thoughts? How are you ensuring that you know who you are when your kids are older and leaving home?
⁣
Motherhood sucks and is lonely sometimes, but I wouldn’t be without them for the world.

I thought because he didn’t hit me, hit didn’t love me.

I grew up watching Lifetime movies with my mom. Didn’t we all? I, too, remember watching “What’s Love Got to do with It” at a much too young age. Imagine all those battered women.
⁣
In the last few years I’ve learned of boundaries and love languages and all the things that improve relationships. In learning what’s healthy, I’ve also learned what’s toxic.
⁣
I definitely grew up watching women, some I knew and some I didn’t, tolerate abuse that no ones deserves.
⁣
Did you know that it’s #domesticviolenceawarenessmonth ?
⁣
Abuse was an epidemic pre-Covid and now it’s worse for women and children as they’re forced to spend more time with their abusers.
⁣
Reach out and keep in touch with friends possibly in threatening situations. Don’t be a bystander and watch a friend tolerate abuse of any kind (financial, emotional, physical, etc).
⁣
That boyfriend I thought didn’t love me because he didn’t hit me is now my husband. It wasn’t until the last year that I was able to verbalize the toxic way I had thought. I absolutely would’ve tolerated it at that time because I thought it was how it was suppose to be.
⁣
I can’t say it’s crazy because so many people feel this way. I’m grateful that he didn’t ever live up to those expectations. 🙏🏽
⁣
Let’s teach our daughters otherwise not just by what we say but what we tolerate too. They’re watching us. One time is too many.
⁣
I have a zero tolerance policy for abuse and you should too. And know I #pullup for my friends and am constantly #listeningfromhome.
⁣
Battered women and children deserve people like us in their corner. **Battered men too** #bethechange

Harpo, who dis woman? 👀 . . . Well let me intro

Harpo, who dis woman? 👀
.
.

Well let me introduce you! This is Patrice Washington (@seekwisdompcw ). AKA “Money Maken”.

A friend of mine recently, in listening to my aspirations and goals, recommended her podcast telling me how much I’d love her.
⁣
She didn’t lie. I’m not where I am in life because of my own doing. The Lord has guided every decision, good and bad, and carried me more times than I can acknowledge.
⁣
He has purposefully and skillfully placed people in my life just when I needed them, even when I didn’t know that I did.
⁣
Her podcast is called “Redefining Wealth: Chase Purpose, Not Money” and it has so many gems. So thank you Patrice for your amazing podcast. It has served me well and I’m just in 2018. 😳 I laughed the first episode, cried the second, then fought back tears through the third. You are my spirit animal and I’m so grateful for the introduction to your space. May God continue to bless you. I pray that I use my gifts as well as you. 🙏🏽
⁣
Today, I’m starting #featureFriday where I feature someone who has contributed (known and unknown) to MY well-being.
⁣
See it as a way to give them their accolades because I do believe in giving people their flowers for sure.
⁣
Tag someone in the comments who can stand to have flowers today and everyday.
⁣
**😉Thanks @mahdiwoodard for the idea. Get well soon because I miss the gems.**
