JANUARY 2021 ♑️

Happy New Year & Welcome to 2021! We’ve survived a whole ass PANDEMIC in 2020. Consider yourself BLESSED & highly favored. You still have a purpose in LIFE 🙏🏼♥️

Usually when the NEW year comes along we make GOALs & we’re hyped to MAKE them happen. We definitely SET the tone for these goals & unfortunately MORE than likely fall off somewhere between 2nd week of January through the last week of December. 🥴 WHY are we like this??? Is it a WEAKNESS of mankind? Do we find it satisfying to BLAME someone else or simply “LIFE” for our shortcomings? No really that was a question... I don’t have ALL the answers 🤣 One of my GOALs this year is to be MORE consistent with CHURCH (@ home, FHE, Family prayer & ORGANIZATION- Planner & Blog) I want to hold MYSELF & my kids accountable for OUR efforts to make these things a PRIORITY in our lives. I know it can ONLY benefit us & our progression INDIVIDUALLY or as a FAMILY. 

My 2021 Goals:
  1. Spend less & Save MORE! I started the 100 envelope challenge in September & as of today have only 35 envelopes left to fill. I’m soooo PROUD of myself. I made it a rule for myself that if I wanted to BUY something I have to fill 1 or 2 envelopes up 1st. This system is working for me, slowly but surely working on my SELF-DISCIPLINE. 
  2. HEALTH in all aspects- Mental, Spiritual & Physical. Last year I had a fall in November that woke my game ALL the way up. Not only my physical & internal conditions but a huge part of it was my MENTAL. I was sooo stressed out & overwhelmed with everything on my plate. I’m grateful for SISTERs who’ve stepped up & helped me with my kids making the burdens light. I’m at sucha better place & im happy with my PROGRESS. I still have a long way to go but healthier choices with my diet & “ME” time helps me reset & put my priorities in order. Everything is more manageable & works out with ease.
  3. Consistency with CHURCH @ home, FHE & our journals. I want to keep our home GOD centered so my kids can grow up KNOWING him & giving thanks for the blessings we ENJOY. I want to plant this SEED of a happy home in HARMONY like I had the privilege of experiencing. Even though we all have our OWN families & make our own choices. I know for a FACT me & my siblings have a STRONG testimony in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I’ll have to blog post about this because it’s a huge part of WHY we’re sinners that still show up to church with or without a hangover from our worldly choices. #Thankful for the Gift of the Atonement
  4. Idle Time to be used to SERVE others. Do what I can to help the less fortunate & the missionaries to find investigators. Be an example to those seeking wholeness from God. 
Highlights of the MONTH-
01/01/21 Me & my kids spent it @ The Castle (My Parents house. IYKYK why it’s called that) with my Sisters & our kids. Now that we’re older with our own families we wanna STAY home on holidays cause the world is crazy esp NYE. 

01/02/21 EVERY month since 06/02/20 I do Baby Tori’s Monthly Bday Photoshoot. I try to do a theme to relate to the TIME of the month & others are just whatever outfit I find ☺️ This month I went with the New Years theme for her 7th Month Bday. Her prop was a wine glass too 🥳🥂

01/10/21 We all met @ the Castle for Church & a special video visit with Uncle Lolo. This was the 1st time Mama got to see her Pele for over 10 years. He’s still a rebel & asking for all of us including 7 month old Baby Tori to send him MONEY 🤣 hoping & praying for BETTER days & an opportunity for him to live a LIFE outside of the system. My Motherman has served over 26 years of a Lifetime Bid w/o parole, he’s doing All Day. 🙏🏼♥️

01/14/21 We all met up like we always do on January 14th of every year since 2018. It’s Brodie Kiti’s bday, 31 years old & his 3rd bday in HEAVEN. Always a good time when u come with GOOD energy. ⚓️💙

01/20-01/25/21 My Grandpa Sitani was rushed to the hospital & had emergency surgery. It was hard to see my Pops heartbroken about the situation. We fasted & prayed for his recovery. He was in ICU & had 2 surgeries @ 91 yrs old. It took a toll on his body but we’re blessed he was able to come home. #TheSheriff
