Hello! I've finally published my first ever YouTube video. I would love and appreciate if you'd support me by watching, liking, and leaving a kind review. As I've shared in the previous post and in the video, my focus this year is to be consistent. I trust that God will do what He does best if I simply show up; as they say, "half the battle is just showing up". Thank you and hopefully I'll have a another video quite soon. Merci.
Faithfully,
Marie
My First YouTube Video: Journal with Me

Reflections
As I write this post there's a reported earthquake near Cuba and Jamica that has been felt less than 5 miles from my home in Miami. Simply put, this month has been quite a rough start to the new year and new decade. Like many, I'm still reeling from the tragic helicopter accident that took the lives of 9 people. It will be jarring for quite some time that Kobe Bryant is no longer with us. I grew up watching basketball with my dad and brothers, a pastime I cherish to the core; what hurts the most is the potential and drive of everyone in that helicopter. Gone, just like that. A reminder of our mortality and the fragility of life. As I reflect over January, I'm somber, yet immensely hopeful. It's far too easy to let the seemingly unsurmountable and uncontrollable activities of life impede our progress, I know this too well; however, this year I vow to myself to try something new. To be consistent and hopeful regardless of what I see. So here's a review of my month, I did my best and for that I am content.

Journal
Lately the question of my favorite pastime has been questioned. I've taken to being more observant of how I use my time, both at work and off duty. And I've concluded that, not surprising, I spend way too much time on social media; Twitter especially. If I'm not on social media or with family/friends I am more likely in my journal/planner. Most of the posts on this blog are either related to my journaling and planning or devotions. I wanted to update on how I've been planning lately, as this does change. Today I'm sharing a few of my essential resources for keeping me on track. I hope this inspires your own planning and journaling.

Devotions
Release Fear and Seize Faith
In the past month, I've heard this message preached about 5 different times. I prayed, as it was clear that God is sending me a message. I wasn't clear on what it was, to be honest, I didn’t see how this message was for me. Clearly I love the Lord and I'm desperate for Him. So why would He be sending this message over and over to me? Am I the bleeding woman? No, not me. Right?
Simple Living
There's something so renewing about the new year. This time around, we get a new year, a new month, and a new decade. With so much newness around it's easy to get caught up with striving to be a new version of ourselves as well. But I've found that's too much pressure.
