Before I start the update though I wanted to thank all of you who have been with me on this journey, my precious readers.

  Good morning and welcome back to the blog! This month I am sharing all my favorite podcasts with my readers. Podcasts are my addiction, I spend most of my day with my faves playing in the background while I work.

Morning routines are extremely important, they set the mood and the pace for our day. Although some days are better than others there are things you can do every morning to be productive. I have seven things I do every morning before I even attempt to start my day. The most important thing to remember is to not put too much pressure on yourself. Start your day at a slow and steady pace and you will have a much smoother day. Make Bed The first thing I do every morning is to make the bed as soon as I get up. This is non-negotiable. I love the fact that I accomplish something as soon as I wake up. I actually blame my mom for this one. My brother and I were not allowed to leave our rooms as kids until our beds were made. It worked, it's still the first thing I do every day. Coffee and Breakfast My brain will not work without coffee. Lots of coffee! I drink my coffee and eat breakfast which typically consists of a bowl of grits or a waffle with peanut butter. Bible Study and Prayer Time...

I have been blessed in so many ways over the past year having my family and all of us being healthy. One thing  I have learned is that I really love using a mask when I go outside. Since I started wearing a mask every time I leave the house I have noticed that I have been healthier. I haven’t had a cold, flu, or any type of virus in over a year, and yes, even after this is over I will continue to wear a mask everywhere I go because I choose to stay healthy. Self-Care has been a popular topic lately and I have been doing the same thing. Physical, Emotional, Spiritual, And Mental health is always important especially in these unprecedented times so I thought I would like to share five ways I have found peace and happiness. Meditation Having a clear and positive mental attitude has been the only way I have managed to survive the past year. I starte...
