Hello World!

It's sure been a while since I've been around...I'm still alive which is such a blessing.

My summer is just wizzing by. How is your summer going? Have you tried anything new lately?

Here are just a few (ha ha I say that, but you know... I might just be lying) things that are happening, have happened, and will/may happen. I think that covers all the happenings. LOL

Happened:

- Started studying with my dad for pharmacy tech
- Got accepted into a university
- Cut Princess' excess hair off, that she's had all her life, with just scissors. Oh yeah, she looks so cute. I mean seriously, she looks younger. She's 10 now.
- Lost all three of my cameras...somewhere in my room...i think. XD

Happening:

- Job is cutting hours so I'm at home catching up on chores and life
- Just bought my books for the fall 2015 semester $534 (just for books...I'm just cringing, but I got a transfer scholarship for $500 so I'm trying to think positively)
- Working on my Regaining Hope site that I wanted to have life for sure at the end of May
- I am just getting older and trying to become wiser and more productive with my life
- I am walking my dog more (in the mornings b/c it's hot in the evenings still)

Will/May Happen:

- On July 11, I will have been at my first job for 3 whole years!

(not really, they all get on my nerves there now)
- I will be taking 5 classes this semester O.o Yeah, my thoughts exactly
- I may get certified as a pharmacy technician trainee or actually get certified as the real thing
- I will be making more progress in my life. Having fun and enjoying everything God is doing in my life!

Thank you all for reading!

God bless you and keep you. Heart

Rough Day

4 min read

Hi guys!

I lost my phone today. I believe I lost it at school which means there is a slim chance of it being found again. I tried Lookout.com to locate it but my phone doesn't ever have the GPS working if you're not actively using it. I'm so sad about the photos I'm gonna lose and the little notes I had. I'm having bad luck with phones it seems. Just last month or so I cracked my phone right after I completely paid for it. Two years paying off that phone and I drop it right outside my door on some brick. So this new phone which is exactly the same as my old one already has things that I want off of it. Ugh. I have felt really down today, but I know God's got this all in His hands.

Other than my rough experience losing my phone. I told you I was working on a project. It's called Regaining Hope. It's a website. Not sure exactly how it's going to turn out. Even created an account here. RegainingHope Haven't been able to work on it as much as I had hoped. XD lol anyways...

I'm going to be starting a whole bunch of things b/c that's what I do. I get all determined and feel I can do anything. So, I'm thinking of starting up my blog again and changing it. Working on cleaning my room. I didn't tell you guys, but I totally rearranged it! I like it. However it needs to be cleaned and such. Well, those are just a few things I"m gonna be working on and starting up again.

Have a wonderful week! Good night.

God bless you and keep you safe.

Hey guys! It's been a while. I usually say this. I am procrastinating on school right now. I need to go to bed. I just wanted to check in and see how you guys were doing. If you have a moment comment below. (I know I've got a few to reply back to already)

I just want to say thank you to everyone who has followed me over the past few years. I haven't made as much progress as I would have hoped here, but more important things have come up. I hope to come back here soon and post art regularly and be a daily dA member once again soon, however, in reality it might be until Christmas or even next year. Anyhow, here are a few updates on my life:

- I left candy corn out yesterday, that I bought a few days ago, and my dog got into it. She was sick all evening and sick today but is feeling much better. She threw up like I've never seen her throw up. It was really sad. I cried because I realized what a terrible owner I am at times. (I was in a hurry to get to work and completely forgot about it on the coffee table.) Please pray she makes a full recovery!

- I am taking an environmental class this semester and we are wasting a ton of paper. Also, she puts down America every day which is hard to listen to. She is from South Africa and believes we are all dumb and thinks we should have learned most of the stuff in class in high school and middle school. She can't teach, won't teach, and is very unorganized. I can't stand being in her class.

- The most exciting news is that I am working on a special project. Ooooh? Yes! I'm very excited. I won't say anymore because I'm not sure if I will fail or what just yet. I just began today. Wish me luck and pray for me.

Thank you for reading and again for following me especially while I have been absent.

God bless you and keep you.

Failed + Learned in July

2 min read

Hmmm. *sighs*

I tried.

I didn't complete or come close to really accomplishing my goal: 100 words in July every day.

That's okay.

I also failed at going natural with my hair...(that's another huge thing that made my life miserable)

Anyways, Friday was a new day! God is great! I've set aside my bad feelings about my failures and I have learned from them.

What I learned from my goal in July:

- It wasn't a S.M.A.R.T goal. Next time, I need to make a smarter goal.

For August, I will make a S.M.A.R.T goal regarding my blog...I'm going to start on this and update you on it soon.

- Tell more people for more accountability & motivation

Still haven't told anyone about my new goals....

What I learned from my natural hair mess up:

- Don't do what doesn't work for you.

At this point in my life it didn't make sense for me.

- Keep in contact with your hair stylist and don't just stop going.

Yeah...there were many reasons why I left my hair lady, but I'm back with her. (we'll see if I don't try to find another one)

- Be honest with yourself.

I tried so hard. And when I say I tried really hard. I had good intentions, but I didn't back it up with action. Going natural for me, an African American, is a lot of work. I didn't do much. I really wanted too, but it was just too much work for me.

Those are just a few things I learned. And an update on my blog...

Thank you for reading!

God bless you all.

Day 21 + Updates

8 min read

Hello dear followers!!

Do you love this journal skin or what? I've been searching around more and more for better ones and this one is so awesome!! (One day I will make my very own journal skin...one day I will make a ton)

I barely got Day 21 out on time. I went to work and that was an 8 hour shift. I have 40 hours this week! God is awesome! I had been a bit worried because for the past 3-4 weeks my hours had been getting cut. After I got home, I had some things to do and so time went by, until nearing midnight, I finally got my thoughts in order and completed the post.

Who knew that 100 words a day could be so challenging... Well, for me it's a huge challenge because I think way too much. First, I think about my new blog. What do I want my blog to be about? If I want my blog to be about my life then...(and I ramble on and on)

Anyways, I've been keeping up to date on the blog recently, however, I have not been informing you. Sorry. To remedy this problem, I have added the Twitter widget to my profile. I connected my WordPress and Twitter account yesterday. Meaning, when I post to the blog I also post to Twitter automatically simultaneously. Already had stinking problems with it. Ugh. Don't even let me go into a tangent on that. So, now you can check out my profile and see whether or not I have posted a new post. I think it'll be great!

My profile, at the moment, is undergoing some major construction. I haven't had the time at all to even think about it. Which is such a bummer because I've noticed my page views growing, just a bit, daily and they have to see THIS MESS.

I want to update you all on so much more, but it's late and I'm not sure if I make it any longer will people read it at all.

(I'll just update it tomorrow maybe...)

Thank you all for reading!

God bless you and keep you in His loving arms.

~ Jessica

P.S. - Look at my sidebar....my secret project has nothing up yet, but go ahead and take a peek. Also, whenever I use this journal skin I will feature 3 artists. Enjoy!
