Hey hunny bum! It’s been awhile, I know. Whoa! I really don’t know where to begin. Well, as you all know I’ve been trying my hand at it all {Facebook Fan Page, Twitter, YouTube, Tumblr & BlogSpot}. I even tried starting a ‘Plus Size’ ladies social group through Meetup.com. That was a total fail. I realized in order to organize events it would be best if I knew the happenings of my city. Unfortunately I don’t. I’ve been in Houston for a little over 2 years now and I still don’t have a clue. Parenthood has consumed my life 100%; therefore I really haven’t had the time to explore or experience the likes of H-town. My adult life is non existent, especially socially. And my dating life is null. If it’s not kid friendly then I usually just don’t go. But this year I SWEAR it’s going to be DIFFERENT. It’s time for some serious CHANGES.
This mommy is taking a stance and putting her foot down. It’s time for dad to step up and relieve me sometimes. If it doesn’t happen voluntary, then I’m going to have to take it to the next level (court order). I’m making a major sacrifice by moving closer to him so he can get the boys more often (live 2 hours away now) and so I can get some ME time. And speaking of dad, we’ve been on GREAT terms lately. Things are actually working out. I’m not expecting anything out of this relationship-wise. I mean really…we’re just FRIENDS. I made my peace with him and now I can finally move on.
Ok, back to the “being all over the place” that I mentioned before. Keeping up with social media is tough. I’m really thinking about doing away with one of my ventures, maybe even two. It’s too much. I honestly like blogging better. I’m going to use this year to focus more on my blog. All this other stuff is too overwhelming. And people can be quite harsh and VERY competitive from what I’ve seen{YT channels, FB fan pages}. We’re all different and we all have different experiences & perspectives. We can all learn something from each other, even if it’s the smallest thing. It’s crazy how some people think they’re better than the next because they have xyz followers/subscribers. This is pure buffoonery to me. I’m all about supporting one another. Why can’t we all just get along???
My outlook on life has totally changed over the past few months. I’ve learned that some things are just out of my control, so I’m letting them go & letting God handle the rest. NO MORE over stressing. Live, Let Go, & Let God! This is the motto that I’m living by this year. I’m not going to let anyone or anything steer me wrong. This is the YEAR OF MUAH! I need to start taking care of myself first. My kids will always be a priority but if I don’t take of ME then I’m unable to care for someone else. Everyone around me is dependent on my mental and physical well-being. So with that said, I joined Weight Watchers earlier this month (and I’ve also found other ways to balance out the stress in my life). It’s not that I’m unhappy with my current weight or appearance, I’m doing this for health reasons. I’ve never been a skinnie minnie and I DO NOT have the desire {sorry J Hud}. I’m not going to go into detail about my WW experience just yet. You’ll have to continue following this blog for that
I have to mention that I’m doing another giveaway. It ends February 10 at midnight {central time}. All you have to do is like my FB fan page {All Things FAB with Nique} and you’ll automatically be entered to win a $50 gift card to the store of your choice. I’m going to be straight up about doing these type of giveaways…I don’t like it. It’s like bribery. I don’t want to feel like I’m buying my followers. I want you to like what I’m doing because it’s of interest to you, not because you can get something out of it. I was going to cancel this giveaway but I’m not that type of person. I will say that this will be the last giveaway I do this way (like me/follow me to win). I noticed that you get people to like you/follow you just for that moment, then after the giveaway they unlike/unfollow. That’s just plain dishonest and rude to me. So with that said…check out my FB fan page and if it really interest you “like” it and you’ll be entered to win the gift card. I’ll be using Random.org to choose a winner.
