Howdy, my beautiful blog lovers. It’s the 30th of April and as we said in this blog end of last month, we started a new series that is all about taking stock 3 of 12 | 2021 so without further ado, shall we ….
Taking Stock April 2021 …
• LEARNING:
This month, I’m learning immensely about several things from how to film videos, how to edit videos to learning about making IG reels. Most people think that content creation is a walk in the park and all are rosy and glamorous but guys, let me just tell you the truth, it AIN’T! It’s hard work and more work than an 8-5 job because with content creation be it blogging, creating YouTube videos, and doing Instagram & TikTok, is a tiresome job and you tend to work more hours because you are constantly thinking of what to create be it while I’m in the shower, while I’m taking a dump, frankly speaking you are constantly thinking about making contents.
Is it worth the hassle? 101% IT IS!! If you are enjoying it … I enjoy content creation a lot hence why I started this blog and a YouTube channel of which I politely request that you follow me on my Instagram and Subscribe to My YouTube channel, Thank youuuuuu ….
• WISHING:
Ooooh I’m wishing that the sun would finally come out with all it’s glory this Spring. This year’s spring has been playing hide and seek and I don’t like it especially when we just spent the last 5 months in the cold. Like che ca**o!
• FEELING:
More positive that I’m in line with my vision 2021. Every small step I’m taking in content creation is slowly falling into place. I feel happy about this and more motivated. It takes time and patience to grow in content creation and I have all the time and patience.
• MISSING:
HOME!! I miss Kenya so much because it’s just a beautiful country and life generally seems to be easier plus of course I miss my family and girlfriends. Here in Italy I’m slowly but surely getting my footing here and I have chosen to blossom here in my passion but due to corona, travelling back home has been a major setback. I have lots of contents to create once back home even for a short time. Just watch this space …
• LISTENING:
To more podcasts and youtube motivational talks like Law of Attraction Coaching YouTube channel. I always listen to this channel whilst on my morning walks. My mindset is not the same as it was 3 months ago guys, I’m a changed woman! LOL!
• MAKING:
Many new friends. Ohh my, if you are new in Italy I bet you should know the struggles of making friends here. Not that people are cold or anything, it’s how the culture here is. Back home, making friends is easy, we make friends from all places and walks in life. Here it’s a lil bit harder not just for the language barrier (though it is a major factor), but also that I came to understand that all countries have a certain way of doing things. This I have come to appreciate. I came to understand that in Italy most people have friendships from childhood and they last all through one’s lifetime. So making new friends especially when older (not that I’m old), it’s harder to get into their circle and make friends.
This I came to accept but I also purposed to make friends this year so I did! See how the Universe works???? I have a great Italian friend who is just awesome and the kindest. I’ve also made a new friend who is from UK but living here in Italy who is also a content creator like me, we never met but we will, soon. I have another from TZ living here as well and a content creator and we basically keep in touch like daily. Like I’m grateful for this, the world is not so lonely anymore 😊😊.
• WASTING:
No time on the unnecessary things. Having a blog and a YouTube channel and leading a family life will do that to you. Every single minute that am not working has been consciously directed and dedicated to building my brand and personal growth and am loving this whole new development.
• HOPING:
To push more on Video Creation especially single-handedly filming myself. This has my major setback and cause of slacking on my video creation. I have purposed to force myself to take this step in the coming new month of May, so help me God!
• LOOKING:
Forward to a productive May. I have a great feeling about this month.
• LOVING:
The pace at which I have chosen to take on life. These few months have been nothing but pure growth for me. I love what am doing and the impact it brings and above all rediscovering and getting to know myself better.
• CREATING:
A schedule for my blog posts and YouTube channel and finding the right balance so that I don’t drain myself and burn out.
• SMELLING
My perfume in the air, am wearing the Dolce by Dolce and Gabbana scent.
• WEARING:
Some not so flattering pajamas because it’s 23:44 PM but today I went out for driving tests and shopping and I had a flattering short dress with brownish boots and a matching long cardigan and like usual, I made necks turn 😁.
That’s it with April Taking Stock …
There you have it. My healthy dose of taking stock. April was fantastic. Hoping May will bring better tidings.
YOURS TRULY,
XOXO 💋
