SOOO! I made a decision. For real this time. I’ve been trying to do this challenge FOREVER, but somehow, I always failed. And today, while scrolling through my HiveBuzz profile, BAM...it hit me again. I NEED that weekly author badge! Seven days of posting in a row. SEVEN. How have I not done this yet?!
I know, I know, apparently, it’s not that hard. But I refuse to just post random nonsense. That’s why I never really tried. I write what’s on my mind, and some days… there’s just NOTHING. Or I’m dead tired. Or my brain is an empty potato. And work? Ohhh, after 12-hour shifts, three days in a row? Forget it. Quality writing? GONE.
BUT NOW. I AM DOING IT. Why not? There’s always something to write about. I have SO much to say. Seven days of posts—without being boring AND still being me.
And then I thought...SERIOUSLY?! My brain is overflowing with ideas, and I still don’t have this badge?! NOPE. NOT ACCEPTABLE. Time to fix that.
I mean, I write about my life. I love history. I love taking photos and talking about them. HOW can I not manage this? It’s totally possible. I just needed a little planning. And guess what? I DID IT. I WILL DO IT. I MUST DO IT. Maybe my posts won’t be super long, but that’s fine. I want this challenge! 😏
If I don’t do it, I will be so disappointed. This is literally the only thing my brain is thinking about right now. (Wow. My brain, focused? That’s rare. 😆)
Also, I NEED to prepare in advance because, during workdays, there’s no time to write. But I can post. Instead of chilling with my coworkers on break, I’ll be inside, hitting ‘publish.’ Priorities, people! Half an hour? Plenty of time to edit, review photos, and post.
I just had to gather all my random thoughts and pick seven great ones.
And because I’m OBVIOUSLY a genius, I set the mood. Massage mat? Check. Headphones? Check. Candles? Check. Told my husband to set it all up for me? DOUBLE CHECK. (Okay, okay, I ordered him to do it, but details. 😂) Then I just laid down, relaxed, and let the ideas flow.
And BOOM! After half an hour, my brain was on fire with ideas. I ran to my computer, wrote down all the topics, and felt like a little kid on Christmas morning. Now, all that’s left? Write, edit, and post for seven days straight.
I WILL do this. I HAVE to. My husband said it should be easy for me. So now, I must prove him right. And then, oh yes, I get to brag. Because that’s what marriage is all about. 😆
So let’s go! Seven days of posting...let’s see what I come up with. And honestly? I don’t even care if people read it. I just want that BADGE. 😉
And you know what’s next? The one-month challenge. And by then? Oh, I’ll be a PRO. But first...baby steps.
LET’S DO THIS! WHEEEEE, I’M SO EXCITED! 🎉🔥😉

“And honestly? I don’t even care if people read it.”
Do you really expect us to believe that?
Ok, yeah, I'm lying. I care…but I care for my challenge also 😂
My goal for this month is to get another Power Up Month badge. We can both do it!!! And I'll read your posts :)
Thank you ☺️ Oh, power up. I left for my husband to take care of. I forget every month to do it, so is his job now 😂
lol, I almost forgot a couple of days this time too!
Ooh thank you ❤️
