Life With Lexis K.

What's going on family. It's your cousin Lex here again with another blog post. As usual, thank everyone for checking in, post after post to spend some time with your girl. Today I wanted to share what I feel is one of my biggest shortcomings with y'all. I'm not really a "finisher". Meaning I start but don't finish things. I can count on one hand the things that I've set out to do and actually completed. I used to crotchet all the time, I learned how to the second grade. I would buy yarn and needles every few months or so but never actually finished a project. It's so bad, I once started crocheting Heaven a pair of booties when she was a baby, but only made one shoe. I'm telling you I'm sick with it. And to me, it translates into laziness, which then makes me resent myself. Then I go into these downward spirals of self-loathing and disgust, which drains me and prevents me from actually finishing anything. Even with this blog thing, I ha...

My favorite recent work fit Howdy family (since moving to Texas howdy has become my favorite greeting). Today is Saturday and I'm finally feeling well-rested after a week back to work. I know for many of us, Monday or Tuesday was our first day back to work in the last week or even longer. For me, it was two weeks of leave + two weeks of winter break, meaning I hadn't been to work in about a month, so the transition back to into the groove was difficult.  I've been hearing something similar from so many people in my life. My coworkers, my friends, my boo, hell me, have all been feeling this mental and physical lag in heading back to work. So much so it got me to thinking, in the shower where all my best thoughts come from, why are we all feeling this way?  The most apparent answer is we were off for some days, fell out of routine, changed our eating/lifestyle habits while we were home. All of these things are probably true. But to me, it was something deeper than just those ...

Hello, again family. Happy New Year to all! And it is Happy New Year and not New Years. Sorry just had to say it. As today is the first day of 2022, I thought what better way to bring it in than with a blog post (it's giving consistency). Today's post is just to give some words of encouragement as we begin this new year. This year I challenge myself (and y'all) to dismantle any fears or limitations about success that we have placed on ourselves. To start the year off right I want to share some quotes with you that I have written in my notebook. Before I do I want to give a little backstory on this notebook I've been mentioning.  I bought this notebook from Family Dollar in 2018. It cost me about $3, I think. On the front, there is a scripture printed. Jeremiah 29:11; For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future. I've adopted these words as my solace when I'...
