3rd Quarter Update

September 30, 2026September 30, 2026Sincerely AngieLeave a comment

I thought 2025 was a busy year but I done eff’ed around and did the same thing in 2026. So, in order to keep my word of one blog post a month, here is a quick life update on how and what I’ve been doing.

Spiritually: I am still improving and bettering my relationship with God. In December 2025, I started a quest to read the Bible in its entirety for the first time ever. I was doing really well until March (March Madness being the culprit. IYKYK). Then I fell behind and I haven’t recovered YET. I still read but I am behind on the reading schedule I had, to read the Bible in 365 days. I am still in a quiet/waiting season also, but I love it. Lots of discernment and revelations.

Financially: I haven’t saved anything since May. Crazy right?! It’s painful to witness because busyness shouldn’t get in the way of goals. I WILL straighten up in the fourth quarter. But on a side note, in September, I didn’t do any shopping. Which means I didn’t spend a lot of money outside of traveling. On a better note, I have been cashing out on points left and right. Points for free hotel stays. Points for future travel. Points for Amazon gift cards. Just all of the points! While I may not be saving money in my savings account, I am not spending my own money and saving at the pump getting gas. In essence, I am still saving. (Check the promotions tab if you want to earn points or click the names. —>) Fetch ~ CoinOut ~ Rakuten ~ NCP Online ~ Amazon Storefront ~ Shell Fuel Rewards.

Mentally: I was exhausted in April after 3 trips back to back within a month but after a couple of months, I was having withdrawals. I was overwhelmed with the amount of footage I had from all of the trips that I had to sift through, to edit/post/share. I still haven’t posted anything since the Aruba trip in March. That takes up a lot of my headspace. I am torn between what to share and how to share so much in so little time and space. It’s hard to capture a full 5-7 day trip in 1m 30 secs. I love to share my travels. It’s just the creative in me, on exactly how to share it so that whomever sees it could feel like they were there also.

Personally: I’ve only finished one book so far this year. Last year I read like 6 and listened to like 3 or 4 audio books. I haven’t journaled a lot this year either. I only had a few therapy sessions this year. I have been on 6-1/2 trips with 2-1/2 more to go. It started in March with Savannah, Aruba, Colombia, Las Vegas, Washington, D.C., Bali and I leave in tomorrow for another trip (that’s where the 1/2 comes in at. LOL!). I’ve put out 4 podcast episodes despite being busy and I’ve been on two other podcasts as a guest a few times. I’ve put out 8 blog posts and this one keeps me on track for #9 for month 9. And I am barely meeting the deadline for that. October is literally tomorrow.

Physically: I feel great. After 5 years, my cholesterol is at normal levels. Thank God! My teeth and eyes are fine. I am still working on a quick and effective at home workout plan to stick to. I recently, as in two days ago, did a cold plunge for the first time. I lasted 38 seconds the first time and I went back in a few minutes later to do a full minute. I never have to do it again though. I can say that I’ve tried it and next time I get in a pool, I will not complain about the water being cold! Anything above 47 degrees is lukewarm from now on for me.

In all, life is great. God is amazing and I have no complaints, only gratitude.

Sincerely,

Angie

Is it Hard for You to Think about You?

On this week’s podcast episode Dear DJ, our good friend DJ was back (I think he is trying to be a permanent co-host on Sincerely Angie) and it was his turn to be on the not so hot seat. Well, the seat didn’t get hot until…

We as humans, are with ourselves 24/7. No breaks. No turning it off and on or getting out of your body at the end of the night and putting it back on the next morning. So, since we are always with us, how about thinking about showing up for us first before filling each others cup. The airplane is the perfect example. They always tell you to place the mask over your face first before helping others.

In the recent episode with DJ, I went down the alphabet asking him questions about his likes, loves and favorite things based on a specific letter and topic based on that letter. This is probably my favorite episode of 2026. We were chilling and I was able to pick some of his favorite things and let him joyfully speak on them. Topics like the beach, God, Jesus, Love, Relaxation and when we got to the Y-Yourself, DJ took a long pause.

Y’all don’t know him but he is the most selfless person I know. He is always one call a way. He will pray for you at the drop of a dime and he will Uber people around to make sure they can get to and from church on Sundays. So when I asked him what his favorite thing about himself was, he couldn’t think of anything. I had to give him an assignment. Write 10 things in your journal that you love about you. I also followed up with him and he hadn’t done it yet but I’ll give him grace. It’s hard to narrow down when you always think of others first.

If you can relate to DJ, take this as your sign to start off by writing down 10 things you love about yourself. If that was easy or light work, now write down 10 of your favorite things about yourself. Believe it or not but those can be two different things. Listen to the new episode here!

Sincerely,

Angie

Just Being Angie,

A post all about me, and a podcast episode too?! But, believe it or not, I don’t like a lot of attention. I think I’ve given myself so much of it, that any more is overkill. As much as I make March about me, only a few people really dote on me. I’m perfectly fine with that and even that can be overwhelming.

Over the last few months, I’ve kinda been in the spotlight or on the hot seat. I’m normally pretty reserved and chill. Just a glance at my socials will only tell you a few things about me. I tend to keep everything else private. So for Ronald Richardson and Eric Lewis to want to interview me solo dolo, it was very different for me. I am also not the type to request to do interviews on other people platforms. I don’t mind doing the interviewing but to be interviewed feels foreign to me. I feel like most people do interviews to bring eyes and attention to what they are selling and since I’m not selling anything, it makes no sense, to me. I understand the idea of getting your name or brand in front of different audiences though. It’s just not my thing. I also wouldn’t turn it down if it happened more, but I wouldn’t initiate it or force it.

Then my good friend DJ decided that he would add to this new wave and interview me on the Sincerely Angie Podcast. He had about 30 questions to ask me. He said that I always shy away from topics when I am talking with people on the podcast, so he wanted to go a little deeper and get some answers to questions the people may have. He touched on a few topics, from personal to professional for my thoughts and opinions.

Throughout the 3 recent interviews, I was just being me. Not selling anything, just sharing a bit of me and my mind, with whomever will listen. I hope that you’ll enjoy and learn something new. The interviews with Ron Rich and Eric Lewis as well as this weeks podcast episode, are listed below. Thanks in advance for listening and getting to know me a little more.
