Sunday Resetš
Allow me to re(INTRODUCE) myselfāØš»
Happy Sundayyyyy- and welcome to my Sunday reset. Every Sunday Iāll be here, wrapping up my week with you. Resetting ,and relaxing. Sundays have always been that kind of day for me anyway, breakfast, church(if I go to church-breakfast after),coming home and relaxing. Washing clothes, doing some last minute chores ,puttering around the house, light shopping and most all RELAXIN
This week- if you didnāt see, my baby turned 7 years old! She had the best day and weekend ever. I love the fact that my babies be knowing (and lean into) the fact that their day is all about them. lol, my shawty been in her birthday mood all week and I love that for her. Iām two weeks out of my surgery as of Friday and honestly: Iām Blessed, I didnāt have a painful recovery although I went to work three days post surgery( I do too much, I know this) - one of my learners punched me and I said oh hell NO - and called out( I hate calling out) but I did as much as I could do , which wasnāt much ālight dutyā. I still showed up which is the most important part to me!
This week I had a competency exam , which I passed with flying colors. Itās so funny to me that I have such anxiety about tests and test taking in general, but in this season Iāve been just showing up as the best version of me and confident in my abilities as a BT- RBT- Soon RT. Itās really something to the saying āfake it to you make itā but really, Iām not faking. I know what I know, I donāt know EVERYTHING but I know a lot more than I give myself credit for. Thatās why for this Sundays Reset I want to lean into my confidence, my voice, my work, my opinions they all deserve a shot. They all matter and they deserve to be on full display! Iām learning balance all over again, but this time I know what I want, I know what I need, I know what I need to do. Iām talking at work, at home, in my personal and my professional life
Balance is something Iāve always had a problem with because Iām such a creative!! Meaning my mind goes from one thing to the next- not that Iām not interested in what I was doing previously, itās just I want to DO EVERYTHING! lol , it gets overwhelming too, because Iām a one woman show. The writer, the editor , the chief of staff , the BOSS haha. Thatās one of my favorite traits about me though, a visionary- creating is something Iāve always done for me and my kids. Now Iām taking my talents to the forefront where they belong.
Let me introduce myself because I feel like I never have , I just dive in and hope you get where Iām going. Heyyyyy! Iām Courtney Ciara - yes this is my real first and middle name , but also my pen name ( I was born to be iconic, clearly my initials are Triple Cās, ha! s/o to my mom and dad* yaāll ate that*) anyways, Iām 30 something (33 to exact Ne Ne Leakes voice) I was born and raised in Philly! I also had my children in Philly, I love my city GO BIRDS DICKHEAD! Iām a Mom of two chickens (I call my kids chickens, lol Iām the Hen) Ayden and Averi. I loveeeee my kidss- I donāt play with or about them so yeah! itās nothing you can tell me about them, I know them lol. Iām a BT currently soon to be RBT, I work full time with autistic children and I love what I do. Whatās funny is, I never wanted to work with children, this opportunity was very unexpected but so far, I love it! I surprise myself every time I say that lol because Iām such a softee for children and donāt get me wrong, I get very angry,sad and frustrated when I see certain things and behaviors from the parents, but I digress. I love what I do, I love the progress I see within my learners day to day and I love that I am part of the reason for the growth within them. I moved to Rocky Mount NC in January of this year 2026- I needed a change, I was tired of being tired. Constantly depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, angry, fed up. It was just my time to get up and get out- I have been the happiest Iāve ever been in over three years! My mental health was at itās wits end every single day of those Three Years and I finally made arrangements and changes! God asked me āyou done trying to do it alone?ā And I answered whole heartedly 'āYES!ā" I was tired of doing it alone, hiding being alone. Quiet, knowing I love a good hoot and holler, lol. I love that I finally did what I always planned to do- get out of Philly!! Honestly, I donāt miss it. I miss my people (granny, besties) but thatās really it.
Finally, Iāve been writing since I was a kid. I always kept a diary, I wrote books in middle school. I would write āurban fictionā think Terri Woods, Wahida Clark, mixed with Zane and Eric Jerome Dickey. My mom was a reader and she had a book shelf- I read most of her books on that shelf and I loved the library so I guess you could say, itās in my genes. I love writing it helps me to let things out! I love reading because it allows me to escape for a few hours and thatās what I want to do here. Sundays are a day of rest God said so and so it is.
This week, I have another exam that Iām studying for as we speak- my goal for this week is to study, read at-least FIVE chapters of my book of the month: Check that out in the link below.
I love you so much for getting this far! Lets check in: Howās your Sunday? What you writing about? what you cooking? lol Hereās some inspo for the week as well as my mood board for the day. Have a great day! Tty
