As I enter the final year of my 30s, I thought I s As I enter the final year of my 30s, I thought I share with you some pictures of mine at 9 months, 9 years, 19 years, 29 years  to today 39 years old of age. Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live. 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

2014 November Goals

 

Monthly goals cover

Hi there and welcome! Its that time again when we need to set new monthly goals and review old goals. This month I contemplating skipping this month’s goal setting but since I have so much I want to accomplish I thought its best to set goals so I can have it as a tracker and be accountable.

***The rules are as follows and note I took these straight from the hosts blog page.***
How it works:
The linky goes live on the first Wednesday of each month.
  1. Follow all three hosts: My So-Called Chaos, A Peek at Karen’s World, & Jenee Thompson
  2. Write up a post recapping previous goals & setting goals for the next month. The post needs to include the Monthly Goals button!
  3. Link-up your Monthly Goals post in the linky below! See host’s page
  4. Visit other blogs in the linky to show support!

Monthly Goals

2014 October Goals:

I am setting these kinda late (its the 16th today) but better late than never.

  • Finish off all the reviews I need to do and didn’t do last month SUCCESS
  • Join the gym here my new place – I have got to work out so I can have more room to eat junk over Christmas FAIL – Eating healthy and walking a lot instead.
  • Start cooking again – I cooked a full meal yesterday (Chilli beef on avocado) very proud. SUCCESS – now cook every day
  • Get more organised at work and home  PARTIAL – working on it
  • Socialize more, this one man journey is getting old. SUCCESS been out on the town with friends twice this month
  • Go to the cinema before month ends. FAIL – was on holiday then moving so no time but went out to lunch/dinner with friends instead.
2014 November Goals:
  • Attend a blogger event
  • Redesign some elements of my blogs
  • Review all products – I have been fortunate to have been sent a lot of products but that means I need to review and most of them this month.
  • Read and Review 2 books – you can see my book reviews on The Myrabev Life
  • Buy christmas card and write up everyone I am sending presents to this year
  • Work on Changing and/or improving up my healthy habits.

These are my goals for this month, like I said contemplating not to set any of these but I have set to hold myself accountable and have this blog act like a planner. What are your goals for this month?

    I think walking a lot trumps going to the gym (hey, easier on your wallet, right?) so that should totally be a success. Well done, you! Best of luck with the reviews and have fun at the blogger event!

    I think you should just adjust the “fails” and add them to your next list. Everything has to adapt and change…best laid plans, you know. 🙂 Great goals though!

    Just because you didn’t complete a goal in the exact way you set out to do doesn’t make it a fail. Things change and we adapt!

    Eating healthily is definitely a good idea, so even though your gym goal was a “fail,” don’t worry because you’re doing a great job! I hope you can meet all your goals this month! You can do it!
