August Is:
- Happiness Happens Month
- Black Business Month
- Professional Speakers Month
August is also the last full month of summer. It is my “end of year” as September feels more like the new year to me since I’ve worked on a traditional school schedule since 2000.
I woke early up on yesterday (August 1st) and had extra prayer and journaling time. It was much needed but not planned. It was like my subconscious knew it was a new month and was ready to release and replace.
I’m being more intentional about spreading positivity on my social media platforms – especially Instagram. I shared the following to my Insta Story:
“August 1, 2023
Trust that everything that is coming your way this August is meant to elevate you and bring you closer to your dream. Be ready to receive all the blessings.”
I am ready!!
In the midst of my ‘Try Something New’ Challenge Social Media Video Series this week, I also joined Lashawn Wiltz’s August Eyecandy Photo A Day Challenge.
