Longest. Month. Ever.

Hiiiiiii, February. So glad you’re here! January, you felt like 7,898 days. And because we need someone to blame, let’s point the finger at Julius Caesar. At least, a little. Friends, in prepping to write this message to you, I jokingly GOOGLED the following: WHY ARE THERE 31 DAYS IN JANUARY? (you don’t want a glimpse into the random things I GOOGLE, by the way.) Well, as it so happens, January wasn’t always 31 days long. In fact, it was a zippy 29 days until Julius Caesar proposed a new calendar system in 46 BC, which added TWO DAYS to January. Thanks, Julius. We could have used 29 days this January. 

It’s been quite the start to 2022: another wave of COVID, snowstorms, busted New Year’s resolutions, Tom Brady’s retirement. What is happening??Let’s turn the page, shall we? So, this month, I’m BELIEVING for the best. And it’s all because of an incredibly encouraging conversation I had with CeCe Winans a few days ago (our episode is out today!). CeCe is the best-selling female Gospel artist of all time. And, she said something that resonated so much with me. She said we can think positively about something, pray for it, but if we don’t BELIEVE FOR IT, we’re missing the boat. We need to put it out there, verbalize it, and be thankful that it’s going to happen. If you’re a person of faith, you continue to thank God that it’s going to happen. So, what am I believing for, right now? I’m going to put it out there: I’m believing that CARRY™ Media will become THE source for the working mom who is looking for an advocate/champion/cheerleader. It feels vulnerable putting it out there to you…but, I’m going to BELIEVE FOR IT. What are you believing for? I encourage you to put it out there. Articulate it. Verbalize it to trusted friends. Don’t be ashamed for it. DO IT TODAY!Our best is yet to come, friends. Let’s believe for it!

FARIS FAVORITES

1. REDEEMING LOVE – I didn’t read the book, but loved the movie. Though, it’s every bit PG-13. My good friend texted me AS I WAS FILLING UP MY POPCORN BUCKET at the movie theatre, “don’t take your 14-year-old daughter.” I replied, “ummm, we’re already here.” Oh, and my 82-year-old mom came along, too. Ha.
