We’re still waiting to get our chickens

2025/12/28 Edited to

Waiting for chickens to arrive can be an exciting yet nerve-wracking experience for anyone interested in backyard poultry. From my own experience, the waiting period is a great time to prepare the coop, gather necessary supplies such as feeders and waterers, and plan for the chickens’ diet and daily care. It’s important to choose the right breed based on your climate and purpose, whether for eggs, meat, or simply as pets. During the wait, I researched best practices for brooding and chick health to ensure a smooth transition when the chickens finally arrive. Additionally, dealing with shipment delays or coordinating with local hatcheries can test your patience, but staying organized and engaged with online poultry communities helped me feel supported. This period is also ideal to educate yourself about chicken behavior, predator protection, and common health issues. Preparing mentally and physically made the arrival of my chickens even more rewarding. Sharing this experience hopes to encourage others to embrace the process fully, making the wait part of the joy in raising backyard poultry.

This is ridiculous acting like this at work. If shit is going bad clock out and go home.

Stop Waiting for Motivation. Do This Instead

Most women aren’t lazy. They’re overwhelmed. They wait to feel ready. They wait for motivation. They wait for the “perfect” time. Meanwhile… the girls who win? They move anyway. This is my 5-minute reset. No hype. No extremes. Just discipline in small doses. You don’t need to cha

The Day I Stopped Waiting & Started Becoming✨

I used to wait for the ‘right time’ to step into the woman I wanted to be. I kept telling myself, ‘Once I have more confidence, once I have everything together, once I feel ready…’ But the truth? I was never going to feel fully ready. One day, I had to decide to show up as her now—even if I wasn’t

Waiting isn’t Devotion.

You can’t force someone into self-awareness. You can’t love someone into accountability. Waiting for their “breakthrough” is often a quiet contract: “I’ll stay, if you become who I need.” That’s not unconditional love. That’s investment in a future version. And when they don’t evolve fa

Still waiting for motivation? Babe… it’s not coming. We’re not in high school waiting for a sign from the universe — we’re building brands, making money, and showing up whether we feel like it or not. Discipline doesn’t care if you’re tired, over it, or in your ‘maybe later’ era. Pretty girls get u

💰 Still waiting for “the right time” 💰

I keep meeting women who are quietly thinking the same things… 💭 “I’d love extra income.” 💭 “I want more flexibility.” 💭 “I want something aligned with wellness.” 💭 “I want to build something around my life instead of changing my life around work.” So many women feel like their only options

You’re not stuck. You’re just still protecting the habits that are destroying you.

For years, I swore I was “stuck.” I blamed burnout. I blamed my brain. I blamed my routines, the world, the algorithm, my past. But here’s the truth that hit me like a truck: I wasn’t stuck. I was addicted to my own self-abandonment. I was addicted to scrolling through other people’s lives
