At the beginning of the year, I set big goals and aspirations—some realistic, others ambitious. Now that we’ve reached July, it feels like the perfect time to do a mid-year manifestation check-in.
Let me be clear: manifestation isn’t just wishing on a star. It’s about visualizing the life you want, having faith it’s possible, and then working toward it with clarity and purpose. It’s not passive—it’s powerful.
🌱 Progress So Far
Here’s a look at where I stand with some of my biggest goals for the year:
- Weight Loss Goal: I hoped to lose 30 lbs by now (5 lbs/month), and I’ve lost 11 lbs so far. I’m proud of that, especially since I’m down nearly 80 lbs total since May of last year!
- Debt Reduction: I’ve made great strides—paid off 3 credit cards, 4 medical bills, and our taxes. I’ve also started paying quarterly taxes for my business.
- Start a Garden: ✅ Done! My jalapeños are thriving.
- Earn My Doctorate: This is paused, but I did complete an Executive Certificate in Law & Policy which will be conferred this fall!
- Build Emergency Fund: In progress.
- Scratch Cooking: Not yet started—but with my July meal plan, this could be the jumpstart.
- Daily Gratitude: ✅ Still going strong!
- Trip to Orlando/Disney: Not booked yet.
- Make $150k: Still working hard—this one’s ambitious!
- Balanced Home/Work Life: Big improvement here, especially after stepping back from school.
- Sell 15 Homes (Realtor): Likely won’t hit this number, and that’s okay.
- Close 60 Transactions (TC): Maybe not quite 60, but I’m proud of my work.
- Start an LLC: ✅ Lavender Lane Property Solutions LLC is officially mine!

🔁 Where We Go From Here
1. Are my goals still aligned?
Some are, but others need to shift. Taking a break from school shifted my priorities, and that’s okay. Life requires flexibility.
2. What have I learned so far this year?
That health, family, and mental clarity matter more than arbitrary timelines. That “progress” isn’t always visible—and that slowing down is sometimes the biggest win.
3. What do I want to manifest in the second half?
- A clean, organized home
- Financial clarity and reduced debt
- Joy in the everyday
- A thriving business
4. What’s my word for the rest of 2025?
Opportunities. I’ll continue to embrace them—whether personal, professional, or spiritual.
5. Where do I want to be in December?
- Less debt
- Better control over my budget
- A more peaceful, functional home
- Continued mental clarity and purpose
