#turning40updates

[2024and40]

JANUARY. Just a quick update before February really starts.

20// I was able to visit a new country - @visitcambodiaofficial, it was a fun trip and posted about it and will probably post more about travel tips and suggestions, solo travel at 40, difference between traveling in your youth and now that I’m older. Let me know if this resonates with you and if you have other thoughts? 1// I’ve tried starting a blog and it was a nightmare. Haha. I thought it was gonna be easy, having been an OG blogger (Geocities! Blogspot!). But so much has changed now. Drag and drop blog making sites are non-existent so it seems the only way to do it is sort of starting through wordpress and getting a page builder and all other other plugins for security, social media feed, etc. I was too overwhelmed so I ended up working with good old @tumblr, as the last one I made was through it. But I will figure this out before the year ends! If I have to die to do it. LOL. 2// I’ve started two books. I was reading Jonathan Rosen’s Best Minds. The text is lovely and it’s been very informative. But the topic has not been easy and there’s always a lot to unpack for me so my brain keeps trailing off. Started with Before the Coffee Gets Cold which seems shorter and more dreamy. Hoping to finish it this week! 3// Met with old work friends (CPDE). I will make a post about this soon. I’ve actually been thinking about the friendships I’ve made over the years, how they came to be and how they have evolved cos I feel like it has affected the way I make friends now. 5// Gratitude posts everyday! 6// Started a Save account on @gotymebank specifically for this. Also have some sense of which charity I would like to give it to. 9// January snaps are up. 10// Tracking weight since the start of the year. It’s been up - down. Let’s see how we can be consistent! 12// Watched a few movies. Gomburza, Society of the Snow, No Hard Feelings, Maestro. Post due soon too! 22// So far, logging 10K steps. 32// Sticking with my daily devotionals.

So many things, so little time. Maybe this will go over a year. LOL. For full updates, link on my bio.

Hows your January been?
