 Friends and thank you for stopping by. I am Yoshida and this is Norris Cove. Today we're in the Fubonichi, the Happy Nichi. Whatever you want to call it. So let me get to last week. I'm just jumping right on in. This was last week. I love this. So I'm kind of going back to the basics. I didn't pre-map it out. I thought about using my thin washi tape to make the lines which I think I'm going to do. And I have this washi here. So I'm just gonna start. I'm just gonna rotate these pages because you all know I will mix up some pages. So and our background is back. Okay you all. So let me zoom in just a little bit. I don't know. I'm stumped. I don't know what to put. But I think I'm going to use this. I'm just gonna rip this whole page out because I'm pretty sure it just kind of came to me. You all know how I do. I was like I don't know what to use. So I'm just gonna place this here. I believe down here at the bottom. Yeah I was stumped. Like I don't know what to do but I saw some blue in here and it just reminded me the blueish green that's in this purple. So we're just gonna go for it. Because I didn't have anything in mind and I tend to try to have things in mind. But I didn't today. I didn't. Well let me stop I never have. I never hardly ever have anything in mind. And I just create on the fly sometimes. But to me it's like better that way. Like if I just kind of create as I go along whatever grabs my attention. I plan to use all of these. So that's why I just took the whole page off. And then I'm gonna find something to go with it. I've been on Instagram pretty much the whole day. Well so today is Friday. And so if you follow me on Instagram I've just been showing out because I finally got a new phone y'all. So people can hear me now. So I'm enjoying posting and people can actually hear what I'm saying. So next I'm working on a new. I'm trying to get my credit up because I need a new computer. And I want one so bad. But I gotta pay off some debt. Let me know if you're following me on my debt journey. Well it's not really a debt journey. It is I'm doing a new series on my channel. It is for the self-employed. You know budgeting for the self-employed. And that's what I originally wanted to make budget kits for. But somewhere along the line I got lost. I'm just sliding this up a little bit. I got lost and you know I tried to make them for everybody. The everyday working person. And that's still fine. But I need to look out for myself first. That was the main goal. And then my self-employed people. So yeah so I'm starting budgeting again. I stopped the budgeting because I thought that I know I'm crazy. I thought I got a letter from the IRS. It was a little suspectish and I should have known. Well I guess I should have known because I still don't know. But I just said screw it. I'm doing my budgeting videos. You can't stop me. But I felt as though because I owe the IRS so then I was like you know people can nail just googling things they want to know about you. And when you google me I know my beauty channel comes up or what have you. So I just didn't want to be in no more trouble than what I am. You know what I mean. So yeah going together. So I just backed up off of doing those videos. Even though I backed up off doing them I still was budgeting but I wasn't. It's okay. So I was still budgeting but not the way I was when I was doing the check-in. I wasn't just keeping even though I write my budget down every day and I write down what I make and things like that. I wasn't more focused on my goal and I noticed when I was budgeting I had set a goal and my income actually was going up. Because I think I was just more focused like not necessarily on that goal but I was looking forward to the week ending to see how much I made. So yeah I have to go back. So I'm not saying screw the IRS. I ain't saying that because we don't want to say that. But I'm just saying you know it just is what it is. So this is all Lord I'm using. I hope I got some more of these because I have used all of these on this page. And I wanted to put some over there where we got a few to make it a little bit tight in. Okay so I have an extra sticker paper. Let's see if we can find some more of these banana leaves. I believe that's what they're called. This is going to be tropical. That's what we're going to do. We're going to make this real tropical. Now see if I knew my books I would know that where the other ones are. Oh here we go. Got some. Y'all I'm going to tell y'all in real life I'm just silly okay. Sometimes too silly. That's why I be laughing at myself. I just get too silly sometimes. I shouldn't put that there because I covered up the little piece that was there. But anyway sometimes I'd be trying to remain my composure online so y'all don't be like this girl is nutty. But I believe in being I don't care what you do. Be your authentic self. You know I'm not going to say I always have to learn the hard way. That's not what I'm trying to say. I thought about something. One day my daughter she to me has a big personality. I mean even from when she was a baby and I used to be like oh my god this girl is too much for me. And growing up you know how your parents like shh sit down somewhere. You know and you did you couldn't really you know be yourself. And I think so many times like kids um this will be so many times we shh kids. And I had to kind of realize that with my daughter like I want you to be yourself. So I was saying Lord I got sidetracked. We were in the grocery store one day. Hold on y'all I'm looking for my dates. We were in the grocery store and my daughter she loves to just break out dancing singing and um especially dancing. And that used to be me but I don't know what happened. I think it was just all that you know girls don't act like that calm down. And um so being that's the way I was raised. So I said to her shh stop doing that. It's calm down. And so one day this lady walked by and my daughter was doing that and the lady said um she said dance baby. She said I love to see um kids dancing and just being themselves. And you know what it took me a back a little bit because I was there trying to hush her. And it let me see that that's what's wrong with the world today. We're told so many things and we should just be our authentic selves. Like we should just why why did we stop. Okay you guys I can't find the date so let's take some marker that same marker. I should have used blue but this one too. I'm just gonna write the dates. I was looking for the days of the week and I know they're in my journaling book but I'm just gonna again write them in. Yo I'm just rambling okay. I was saying let your children be their authentic selves and let's practice being our authentic selves. Um I was saying that we have probably been taught to be fearful of so many things. We're doing the scripture writing on fear and for the things that I'm fearful of I believe may have been instilled in me to be fearful of things and I didn't really kind of get that way until I got a little older and was told to stop doing this don't do that. This is going to happen. That's going to happen. Let children not be fearful. Let them be themselves. So and let's be our authentic selves. So this is my spread for the week. I am digging it. It's giving me island vibes. And that's the Fovonichi for the week. Thank you all so much for watching. I hope this video wasn't too long.
