After a lot of thought… I’ve decided to stop blogging.
Life has been a lot lately, maddening and I need to focus on other areas that need my attention right now.
I just want to say thank you
to everyone who has read my pieces,
reached out,
laughed,
or simply shared a moment with me through my words.
It’s been a beautiful ride ❤️
…
SIKE.
You guys are stuck with me 😌
It’s April Fool’s.
But while I have you here… let’s talk.
Welcome to April. Happy New Month.
Because even though I’m not quitting blogging,
there are things I’m quitting this April.
This is my Q2 audit.
What stays… and what ends here.
This month, I’m focusing on two things:
a purge and a fresh start.
And when I say purge, I don’t mean anything extreme.
I mean a life audit.
We’re in the fourth month of the year, the perfect time to pause and ask:
What’s working? What isn’t?
And more importantly:
What am I carrying forward… and what ends here?
I used to wait for the end of the year to change my life.
Like most people, waiting for January to reset everything.
But now, I’ve learned something:
Growth needs checkpoints, not just fresh starts.
So I’ve broken my year into quarters.
Every few months, I sit with my life
Financially. Spiritually. Emotionally. Professionally.
I look at what’s working.
I look at what’s not.
And I make a decision:
👉🏾 Keep it.
👉🏾 Improve it.
👉🏾 Or cut it off.
No dragging. No excuses.
Because goals are not just dreams
they’ve already been broken down into real, achievable steps.
So this month, I’m asking myself hard questions:
In my career, where am I going?
What are the pros? The cons?
And which one aligns with the life I’m actually trying to build?
And this doesn’t stop at career.
It’s my faith.
My friendships.
My habits.
My energy.
Everything is up for review.
And then comes the second part: A Fresh Start
Because once the purge is done…
you don’t sit in emptiness.
You rebuild, intentionally.
This is where I:
• Adjust my goals
• Break them into monthly targets
• Then weekly
• Then daily actions
So that by the 1st of August, I can sit down again and ask:
Did I move forward or did I just stay busy?
Because here’s the truth I’m learning as I grow:
I don’t just want to live life.
I want to be able to say:
Life passed through me too.
I felt it. I shaped it. I showed up for it.
And maybe that’s my April reminder:
Don’t wait for the end of the year to change your life.
Check yourself now. Adjust now. Move now.
Happy April Fool’s
(and happy resetting)
With Love,
Ayo ❤
