Hey lovely! I’m typing this:

On A Train

from my phone. So the formatting may be off, so be it.

It’s nice to have something to do to pass the time that doesn’t involve scrolling. I uninstalled IG, Tik Tok, Facebook, and X. My sharing on those platforms felt like I was running in circles and getting no expansion.

So I left.

It’s been a couple days and I am feeling like…okay…this can be a thing.

I’ll be focusing primarily on this blog, YouTube, and impact in the real face to face world.

What can you expect here?

I don’t know! Lol Me being real about my life and learnings. Probably me unpacking my ish  into the internet void. My walk with Jesus, my pursuit to grow in skills and talents, fashion, and creativity.

Just gonna be flowing and let things continue to take shape as I go.

It’s a loose vision.

Like even now I’m on this train solo and am about to adventure solo. Idk what I’m doing for real. Just living.

I decided to not lay around with the curtains drawn and to go engage with life.

It was 11:15am…I looked at the train schedule and saw the next train was at noon. I showered, got dressed, and dipped.

I’m not meeting up with anyone. No one knows what I’m doing, but yall.

I’m going to pretend you care about me and will come back later and type…”Made It Back” when I get back to my dwelling spot, The Billionaire Bubble.

I encourage you to get out and live your one life. Don’t wait on people or wait for feeling ready. Just go and know that God is with you.

I’m telling you when I adventure – I don’t be alone. I make temporary friends.

Like yesterday, I took my kids to an indoor playplace. I made temporary friends with little kids. They were just soo sweet! One of the grandmas was asking for me to take a picture with her granddaughter. Another little girl was pulling me around to little stations. We had just met, but I loved her so much. All of them.

I even played red light – green light with my kids and another boy named, Aiden. We were holding red and green signs. I’ve been deep diving on assertive communication and was working with them on using their voice. It wasn’t enough to hold up the sign and expect ppl to make themselves be out. The person holding the sign had to confidently speak up and tell ppl to go back to the starting line – even me. Sometimes we expect ppl to see the signs and self correct and they may not…so we have to use our voice. And also sometimes we do ourselves in and self sabotage ourselves back to the beginning…when we haven’t been called out.

There is so much learning in play! The animals learn through play. Lion cubs will wrestle each other so they can playfully learn how to take down prey.

That’s what that game of red light, green light was. They didn’t even know they were being taught life skills for real. Yet they were.

Then I went and ate Five Guys with my kids, we watched Taken 2, and then I had my solo time.

I had 3 choices.

Go to women’s only boxing, go to my monthly women’s self defense class, or kinda do nothing…free flow.

I chose to go to the Women’s Self Defense.

We spend about an hour in discussion and then go shoot. This month we discussed a real life scenario of being approached by a sus person when out solo and how to handle that properly….we also discussed safety in water. Did you know more adults than children drown? We gotta stay humble in water…don’t swim drunk…have a buddy on lookout when at the beach. Plus know how to swim. We talked about dry drowning too…that is a sneaky one…little by little water getting in lungs…you fall asleep from being tired…and drown cause lungs were unknowingly filled with water.

Live in awareness and preparedness- not fear.

At the range…

My instructor, John, spent one on one time with me teaching me how to really connect with my gun, Hellcat Pro. My shots had been all over and he told me:

“Let it break on it’s own.”

See on the gun trigger there is a break point…this resistance point where the bullet leaves the barrel…you can feel it. I had been  forcing the pull instead of letting it break naturally. I would close my eyes and count out loud as I gently pulled and then I could feel the difference. I will keep practicing.

I keep my used shooting targets and hang them like wall paper…bahahahahha.

My next growth step with shooting – is going to the range alone for 30 minutes.

I have only been going with my instructors and in a group. If I keep waiting to go 1x a month…I won’t improve for real. So I want to go at least 1x per week. I already know how to get on the lane by myself.

We have to not make our growth group dependent! I’m here to grow from good, better, best – in my personal way. That’s in whatever I do. I appreciate community, but I’m here for purpose not chit chat.

Ooooh! I also got to shoot a Mini 14…a woman’s husband from class gave me a speed lesson and let me try it out. I’ll share the clip.

For now…here are some pics from my Fri-YAY:

Go throw yourself into something new, challenging, and exciting!

You might just shock yourself into a:

New World!

I neverrrrr thought I’d be a gun owner and a boxer! I want to learn how to handle a knife for up close defense, how to help those in critical condition (first aid, CPR, tourniquete application), and more combat plus care expertise.

Okay…that’s enough

I’ll let you know when I make it back from today’s adventure.

Made it back 🙂

Love,
