January 24, 2026: I don’t know what I’m doing (nobody does)

Happy Saturday happiness crusaders 💖

It’s another gloomy day here in Gwinnett as we all get prepared for the impending ice storm. The last ice storm that happened here, I was about my daughter’s age and I slept through it. 😅 but, it’s almost 10am, my coffee is hot, my thought juices are flowing, and what better place to organize them than ✨here✨.

This weekend, I have a friend from FL visiting. We get to chit-chatting about life… and where the title of this post comes from. When I first moved to FL, I was battling homelessness, working at that coffee shop, trying to do everything to help my dad, and be the best mom I could be at the time. It was a lot. I didn’t know what to do. It came to one very awful work shift that forced me to rage-apply to every job possible which landed me (kind of) where I’m at today. Even during all of that, I didn’t know what I was doing. Looking back, it sort of feels like a fever dream, going through the motions, and I was fortunate enough to have made a few friends from it too. 💖

This is my advice to anyone who reads this: don’t stress it. Don’t stress how things will play out. Don’t stress how things will be taken care of. As long as you’re willing to put forth effort and make it work, it will all work out on its own. After all, nobody truly knows what they’re doing. We are all kind of just going through the motions of life, praying that one day.. something magical will happen.

The magic is you. ✨

“Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for the people.”

Colossians 3:23

Until next time, here’s three things today that make me happy:

Fresh coffee, quality time with framily, having new adventures and exploring.

Celebrate what makes you happy always.

Stay blessed,

Starshine ✨
