[pinit]Have you ever felt like you were in the right place at the right time? That’s how I felt last Tuesday night about 9pm. I was feeling kind of discouraged about not being further along with my blog. So, I reached out to a fellow blogger and new friend of mine, Sarah at The Orthodox Mama. She offered me some very helpful advice and she also promoted the Money Saving Mom blog as a good resource to learn from. So, I decided to pop on over to check her out, when I came upon a promotion for Crystal Paine’s 14 day Course, *Make Over Your Mornings. I was so excited, because after reading the outline for the course, I knew this was exactly what I had been looking for. I had been wanting to get more out of my days, but not sure how to do it. And, then I saw that Crystal owns the Money Saving Mom blog, writes books, travels for speaking engagements, homeschools her kids AND keeps her house clean! Whoa!! That made me take a step back and reevaluate some things. 🙂
So, I immediately took the plunge and signed up for the course! And, when I watched the first video, my soul resonated with everything Crystal said. She talked about setting up your day for success. And, she went on to talk about living with Intention, Order and Purpose. Wow, my spirit was jumping inside me at this point!! And, then the words .. “Become a Blessing to those around you.” Whew I felt like a wind blew over me. This is a daily prayer of mine, so I felt like my prayers were being answered that very moment. I gotta tell you… I was so fired up after watching the first 3 minute video, that I wanted to go through the whole 14 days that night! But, I chose to play by the rules and take it one day at a time. But, I’m wondering if I shouldn’t have just read it all once that night, because my excitement kept me up for most of the night anyway!!
Well, guess what happened after that? The next morning, I couldn’t wait for my son’s nap time, because that was when I committed to going through the course every day. He takes a nap about the same time, every day…. Except that day. Yup, you guessed it. I could not get him to take a nap! Before I could even start my plan, it was squashed! But, you know what… I did not let that discourage me. Instead, I dug in my heels and became even more determined to finish *this course. Because, I knew the blessings were waiting for me if I did!
I am now on Day 5 and am enjoying every step of the journey. The funny thing is that the steps I have taken so far, are things that have been lingering in the back of my mind for quite some time, but I just had not acted on them yet. I am so grateful to Crystal for creating the *Make Over Your Mornings Course and giving me the swift kick in the behind to get on the ball with some of these things! 😉
So, what about you? Have you been wishing (maybe praying!) that you could get more done with your days? Maybe you’re like me and are still figuring out how to juggle being a mom and running a business? If so, I encourage you to start this 14 Day Course right away! Trust me, you’ll be glad you did.. 🙂 And, if any of you Favored Friends have ever taken this course before, please let me know how it helped you!!
