It's September 1st I cannot believe we are already 9 months into this year! A majority of our year has been indoors because of the pandemic but each month I've been trying to find positive things that happened during the month. August was a fun month for me. It was probably my favorite month thus far. So, here are five positive things that happened in the month of August. 1. I got a new job! On August 10, I started working at Hopeworks! I am part of the outreach team. My team and I go out into the community and engage the homeless community while getting demographic information and providing referrals for resources (housing, ID vouchers, etc). We also hand out water bottles, hygiene packs, and snacks. I'm enjoying my new job so far. 2. I broke 20 followers on Twitch! I'm sure most of you don't know but I stream on Twitch. I started streaming when COVID hit New Mexico. I started streaming because I love playing video games and it kept me in contact with the outside world. I'm a console streamer, so I don't have anything fancy like overlays or other things like that, but you get to hear my lovely voice and watch me fail at gaming. I don't see myself becoming an affiliate any time soon, but I enjoy streaming and will continue to learn and grow as a streamer. If you're interested in seeing my stream follow me at: Twitch.tv/jokerloveshq43. 3. I've gotten closer to finishing the first draft of my manuscript. Again, I'm sure most of you aren't aware I'm writing (attempting) to write a novel. I had a strange dream one night and thought it would be a cool idea for a book. I wrote down the super basic plot in my journal and have been developing it ever since. I've had a lot of support from the writing community on Twitter and Instagram and I even attend writing sprints with Author Sarah Sutton every Wednesday. These sprints have been my motivation to continue to write my manuscript. I wouldn't be where I am in the story if not for the writing community so thank you! 4. I completed a 30-day fitness challenge! For the month of August, I did the 100 Ab challenge by Blogilates. I've done it before, but this time around it felt ten times harder! It's probably because I gained the COVID 10… Anyway, I decided to do this challenge and complete it and I completed it except for one day because due to back problems I struggled to do it. I intend to do another 30-day challenge in September. Stay tuned for the outcome of that! 5. I turned 25! On the 19th I celebrated my 25th birthday. Usually I don't care for my birthday because to me it's just another day, but this year, I felt it was significant. I celebrated this significance by ordering myself a round cake decorated like a quarter! A lot of people were confused on why I chose to decorate my cake like a quarter so I simply replied with, "I'm turning 25." Some understood, some still were confused so here is the reason why I chose to decorate my cake like a quarter. How was your August? What were some positive things that happened to you this past month? Let me know in the comments!
