Sunday Lately is a weekly linkup hosted by the Blogger Tribe (which is being fearlessly lead by Meghan, Nicole, Katy, and myself). We e-hang out every Sunday, sharing a small glimpse into the last week of life in our own worlds. We’d love if you could join us!
This week’s themes: Completing, Visiting, Repeating, Writing, Scheduling

Completing

Awkward: I wrote my first post for AngelicaRoss.co last week about the importance of having an email list…before I had my email collection form all set up. Yep. I know. Awkward.

Awesome: I finally sat down and batched out some graphics for this blog so I have more posts than just Sunday Lately to share! I wrote this one last week about making changes if you only had a year left on earth.

Visiting

Awkward: I’m not sure what’s been awkward to visit. Life lesson: don’t think something will be awkward and it won’t be.

Awesome: I will soon be visiting the Pilates studio a lot more coming up soon. Joseph Pilates says that it takes 10 sessions for you to notice a change, 20 for others to see it, and 30 for a whole new body. So I’m challenging myself to see what happens in 30 Pilates classes. And of course, writing about it!

Repeating

Awkward: It’s so much harder to write these “awkward” categories instead of the “awesome” ones. Repeated headdeak-ing happening with the awkward categories today so much.

Awesome: “Focused Intention.” I’m working with my friend who’s starting a coaching business and last week’s session was all about boundaries. I have been thinking of boundaries as limiting, but with her help, I was able to see how they can give you focus and work with intention. I love that instead of thinking “A boundary is saying no.”

Woo woo alert: we also pulled the same Goddess Card, Diana, during the call. How freaky but magical!

Writing

Awkward: Dude, it was awkward to write about social media and email lists after I haven’t really been writing about that in a while. It took a little more practice than I thought.

Awesome: See Visiting: Awesome. I’m a little nervous to be sharing pictures of my non-Pilates body, but I can’t wait to document it and help out a fantastic local studio.

Scheduling

Awkward: I think I’ve been mostly scheduling non-awkward stuff. So go me? This one is a bust, too.

Awesome: After waiting since mid-October 2015, I finally have an appointment scheduled to replace the clutch in my (automatic transmission) car. I know, a clutch is a clutch and it doesn’t matter if you drive stick or automatic, but it’s still puzzling that it would go bad so quickly. Apparently others have this problem, too, and that’s why it’s been on national backorder for almost 9 months.

This week’s themes: Updating, Remembering, Needing, Wearing, Being

The Sunday Lately Only Queen strikes again. I promise, I have been writing and I do have posts that are coming that aren’t just Sunday Lately. I just need to pick a new color scheme.

Updating

Awkward: Finally, after saying for months or years or however long, I have finally decided to update my design. It’s like a refresh or a reset. New changing are coming soon. I just have to figure out how to make it happen all at once so there isn’t downtime here.

Awesome: I’ve been working with Kayla Hollatz to give myself an edge. With her help, I’m updating my strategy, reconnecting with why I want to write a blog and why I started a business, and generally feeling like there’s a direction finally. Yay!

Remembering

Awkward: I had a little too much Great Lakes Lake Erie Monster the other day and things are coming back to me in pieces. It’s always fun to have things come into light after a night like that. Not.

Awesome: I remembered to write Sunday Lately sooner than 1pm on Sunday afternoon. Or Wednesday. You know. Baby steps.

Needing

Awkward: I haven’t really read much since my tonsillectomy. I miss it and I need to start reading again. I hate that I haven’t in a while.

Awesome: I need you to know how awesome Thread and Grain‘s pineapple clutch is. It’s seriously super cute. I hear there may be pineapple necklaces and earrings, too. Maybe if we beg Katy loud enough, she’ll make them. Because look at how cute they are!!

Wearing

Awkward: Apparently my house is too hot. Everyone complains that I need to turn on the air conditioning. I can’t really feel it. I just wear some shorts and a tank top and I deal with it.

Awesome: I’ve been wearing dresses and skirts a lot more since I left my office job. I feel like my wardrobe is totally opened up. I couldn’t wear most of it before because (ironically) the air conditioning was just too powerful. It’s much easier now.

Being

Awkward: I’ve had a hard time with some things this past week. Lady times and big life changes and insecurities…ugh it’s been a hard week or two. But I wouldn’t change it.

Awesome: I really am being thankful for the ability to work where I want and do what I want and be my own boss. It’s pretty awesome. I have some blog posts coming up over at AngelicaRoss.co soon. They’re about email marketing, secrets to social media marketing, stuff like that. It feels good to write about it again.

This week’s themes: Creating, Finding, Switching, Forgetting, Craving

Creating

Awkward: I’ve been feeling a little down this week (it was an off week) and I realized too late that one way to pull myself out of a funk is by creating something. So I shredded some paper instead. It was enough that I felt like I did something and it was still actually doing something that I have to keep up with. So I guess it wasn’t too bad.

Awesome: I want to create a little shop like Harvest + Bloom or Nicole Antoinette – a collection of eBooks that are a few dollars each. But I don’t know what I’d create. I could probably find something to do for my social media services site, but I have no idea what I’d put together for here. What would you want to see?

Finding

Awkward: I’m finding it hard to find the time to work out. I know it’s important and I feel better when I do, but it’s so hot to run outside (don’t you dare ask me to get up earlier to run before the sun comes up. It just won’t happen) and I’m not super interested in driving to a gym and being inside when it’s so nice out. I have a friend (y’all know Marissa, right?) who does Barre and I’ve been doing Pilates. I should just suck it up and drive to a class more often.

Awesome: I’m finding that it’s easier to write the awkward categories this week than the awesome ones. We all have cycles. And I’m trying to embrace the cycles (that’s the awesome part of this…surrendering control).

Switching

Awkward: I’ve been trying to find the best place to work, so I’ve been switching up my work environment. That means I have to pack up every single possible notebook, colored pen, and scrap of paper with ideas scrawled on them lest I forget something, rendering the work session useless because, “OMG HOW could you expect me to write without my Favorite Writing Pen?? I just have my Good Idea Pen and that CLEARLY can’t be used to write deep thoughts!!”

Side note: How adorable are these Emily Ley Pineapple Paper Clips? It’s kind of an extravagant purchase, but so cute!

Awesome: Along with that, it is pretty rad that I get to decide where and when I want to work. So I’ve been trying different coffee shops, bars, even on the porch at home and it’s awesome.

Forgetting

Awkward: Ugh, I’m forgetting everything. I’m at the point where I’ll walk into a room with a cup of coffee, remember something I need to do so I walk out and leave my coffee unattended and forgotten for hours, then suddenly realize, “I didn’t finish my coffee!” I end up with 8 half-drank cups of coffee all over and barely any caffeine buzz.

Awesome: Hmmm. I don’t know what’s awesome that I forgot because I probably forgot it.

Craving

Awkward: It’s “that” week for me, so I’ve been stuffing anything in my mouth that’s not nailed down (phrasing). I want to eat ALL THE THINGS. Especially sweet/salty/crunchy things.

Awesome: Summer means I have been craving some time in the water, like on a boat or at the beach. Who has a beach house I can visit?
