We can’t go wrong with positive reinforcement …
Childhood Examples
Lately, rewarding myself helps ease the toughness of a rigorous project !
Adult Examples
Great timing since I just progressed onto my next series !

Remember that I have commanded you to be determined and confident ! Do not be afraid or discouraged, for I, the †LORD† your GOD , am with you wherever you go.
~ Joshua 1:9 *
Bishop Mike †cross† for renewed hope , ♥love♥ and trust ~ sent me this beautiful †cross† that was blessed by Pope Francis *Stateside* visit !
I received this generous gift from my spiritual mentor in great timing: the day before my latest conference call with my professor ** to practice my dissertation defense ~ in which I advanced to my first committee defense (preliminary presentation to my professors on board)! This reminds me of how the Bishop has always come through for me ~ particularly when he gave me the Holy Spirit Master’s degree almost a decade ago!
He will not let you down.
~ Bishop Mike

Minty!
To ring in recent birthday s, I was all about ordering up mojitos
Passionfruit Mojito topped with Cocktail Fruit from La Canela Peruvian Restaurant
First, to celebrate my Tita Fe Passionfruit Mojito at the Peruvian restaurant ~ thanks to my cousin & her hubby!
Then I enjoyed a refreshing Frozen Blueberry Mojito at my own Bday Brunch from Miguel’s Mex Tex Café (Mex intentionally before Tex)!
Most recently, I toasted to my cousin’s birthday with this Twisted Madre Mango Margarita ~ another special from Miguel’s Agave Bar!
Twisted Madre : Frozen Margarita swirled with Mango Flavor topped with Lime and dressed with Chile Salt on the Sim from Miguel’s Mex Tex Café
S is for …
Freebie for my Bday : Mocha Coconut Hazelnut Frappé
More Sweet Treats … this time without spirits:
Starbucks Birthday Rewards
First, from my research university before my BiG #-#: Hazelnut topped with Coconut
Next, from our busiest local coffee shop: the new Blackberries & Creme Frappuccino
Blessed with Rest (sort of) on my Bday … Real quick before I get back into it!

Don’t you just love exercise 💸incentives?
My most recent reward🏆 came from ⌚️RunKeeper : Saucony 🌞Sunday !
🏁fun run👣 around the 🎓university🏤 campus course⛳️ (2 full miles = 1 lap), I earned new 👟kicks! Pretty slick, huh?
high school and college , I sold💰 shoes (not like the Married with Children dad, Al Bundy) ~ so I knew my footwear👞 like the back of my 👋🏽hand, and it didn’t hurt to have those perks☕️ of test-driving🚘 …
Or running in them!
These Canadian🇨🇦 Running prize winners that I selected are in a kid’s size ~ so I could $ave over half👊🏽 of the original comparable women’s pair of shoes, while still having the competitive ISO feature!
Previously, I also scored more fitness rewards:
Moral of this story:
We might as well 💝gift🎁 ourselves in our health💪🏽 by adding on to that wellness😅 📳wealth!

Happy Hump Day the Healthy Pretty Fit Way
Today, I’ll feature food, as a perk to my freelance writing.
When I visited AM Donuts
AM Donuts ‘ Bubble Tea & Maple Bacon Bar
The added bonus was that the owner packed his personal favorites for me to take home!
AM Donuts & Croissants Care Package, including *exclusive* Cherry Chocolate Fritter & Red Velvet Cake Donut
Then, when I covered the Claudie C. Royals Banquet Claudie C. Royals Day
Claudie C. Royals Banquet Desserts : Special Strawberry Shortcake Banana Nut Pudding, Lemon & Chocolate Nut Cupcakes, Chocolate Sugar-Dusted Brownies
Today, I wrote about how I ate healthy a week ago then rewarded myself the next day in What I Ate Wednesday and Thursday .
Moral of this story:
A good day can lead into another one
And because I love y’all so much, here’s how I packed my sweets for the sweet from the sweet
Now that I’ve gone bananas with good grub and am armed with study food , I’ll get back to working on my dissertation
3:33 ~ make a wish!!!

On this icy winter day, I woke up from having a dream that I thought was worth sharing with the lesson that it taught me: we deserve to earn incentives if we take steps toward our goals. In other words:
Let’s reward ourselves for our accomplishments.
In this dream, I was reading an article about someone whose positive reinforcement would be trip incentives once she’d reach an accomplishment… Then I realized that sometimes I procrastinate instead of motivate myself to keep working on my dissertation by rewarding myself before I do my tasks. So, today, on another cold one, I pledge to reward myself after I invest my effort!
Here’s how I’ll provide positive reinforcement for persisting through my research:
