What's up, MoTiFFated Mavens? I think that is new name for the So MoTiFFated community! I'm checking in to see how things are going with you these days. The whole COVID-19 situation is truly scary. It seems people are getting sick left and right, and somehow that isn't enough to convince other people to stay home and stay safe and to only go out unless they're an essential worker or when they need essential items like food, grocery, and household items. Ridiculous. STAY HOME!!

​Let me tell you, 2019 seemed so long though it was full of some wins, near the end it seemed like it was filled with more lessons. My main takeaway from the year was for me to invest more into myself, and to begin to set more boundaries that allow for me to be a better me, a stronger me. I have noticed that while I enjoy helping people, that cannot be my only sense of joy. For the longest time, I gained so much pleasure out of working out, especially in college. Would you believe I actually had people requesting to go to the gym with me, better yet – I even had people requesting for me to be their trainer!
