Good day, Lovelies. How are you all doing this lovely frantastic Monday? To be rather frank, I’m not doing too well today. I’m thinking, shall I be up front with you guys? Is there such a thing as being too authentic? You know what this site is all about: sharing with the community so we can all get the support we deserve. So ya I will share with you all about my perfectly imperfect day.

Anxiety is define as: “Anxiety is a normal feeling of worry or fear in response to stress, triggering the body’s “fight-or-flight” response with physical signs like a racing heart or sweating, but it becomes a disorder when persistent, overwhelming, and interferes with daily life, often involving excessive worry, panic, and avoidance, with types including GAD, Panic Disorder, and Phobias, treatable with therapy and lifestyle changes.” It feels like a 600-pound person is on your chest, and you are having problems breathing. Today I woke up with an excessively worrying mind. So many thoughts were going through my mind like I was on a bullet train in Japan. I felt trapped, like there was nothing I could do about it. Like there was no hope in sight. Suddenly, my mom and this man were coming downstairs. Trying to solve the problem brewing upstairs.

It is always great to remind yourself that we all have problems and there is always hope. Never feel ashamed or like you are a burden. To continue the story, the man went to the boiler room, then my room, and was able to resolve the issue. Over time, I realize that my anxious mind just wants the problems to be resolved. We all want our problems to be fixed. I just want to help Lovelies truly madly deeply. On that note, I would like to offer a service that I’m providing for free. I feel like all the things I viewed as negative are really something I can make into a good thing by simply changing my mindset. I have a gift, and I want to share it. I will be providing this service in my Facebook group “Franchys Luv and Acceptance For The World.” I will write an update when I’m ready to begin. I don’t mind suffering so I can share. How can you help if you never suffer? Similarly, you can’t have the rainbow without the rain. Alright, Lovelies, today was an eye-opening and painful day. Yes, ya I go there. It is all worth the pain if my suffering taught you a lesson. Have a good one, and I will see you all next time. Bye, take care.

Hiya Lovelies. How do you do this wonderful day or night, wherever you are in the world? I’m doing okay, thankfully. I’m working on my happiness and well-being. Today, I want to discuss a familiar topic we all encounter from time to time. That is social media. Let me make it clear: I don’t think social media as a whole is a bad thing—the difference is in how and why we use it. For example, I myself primarily use my social media for my businesses. Yes, I also use it for friends and family. I just mean primarily, my social media is for business. It is imperative that you mind your social media presence as it can significantly impact your well-being. “Social media impacts well-being both positively and negatively, with negative effects including increased anxiety, depression, and poor sleep, often due to social comparison and cyberbullying.”

Yes, Lovelies, social media is a big part of my Franchy life. I believe I’m on almost all social media. Yes, I’m trying to put my brand out there, and social media is one of the best ways to do so for free. However, I also use it to stay in touch with my friends and family. Social media can be a great way to stay connected when used appropriately. Nevertheless, with the ever-increasing prevalence of social media bullying, it is imperative that you monitor your online presence and be selective about who you add to your circle of friends. I’ve heard of stories where a person is bullied so much that they decide it is best to end it all. Lovelies, in my opinion, social media bullying is much worse than real-world bullying. In that you can reach a lot more people, and it is online forever! With the presence of phones and tablets, it’s almost like it is inescapable. Whereas when you were bullied, it was only in the school setting, to keep your well-being in a good place, balance your social media activities. Suppose someone is becoming too intrusive. Tell someone, and get some help. Silence never solves anything. If you feel lonely and want some help, don’t be ashamed to ask. It takes a lot to be strong enough to admit you have a problem and need help. I love you all truly. If you have a story that you feel will be beneficial to our community, please share it in the comment section. I will respond with sweet love and understanding. Remember, you are never alone. I’m here for you always. Please have a great one. I will see you all next time.

Hello, my sweet Lovelies. I do hope that you are doing exceptionally well and are truly happy. Today, I wanted to discuss a topic that always brought anxious feelings and still does. I’m referring to aging. I know many people say it is a blessing to be given the opportunity to age. Which, of course, is true. It is not in the years but rather in the special moments that take your breath away. Keeping that mindset can perhaps help you age well and have a balanced life full of hope. “Aging well means maintaining physical, mental, and social health through positive habits like nutrition, exercise, staying connected, and managing stress, even as biological changes occur, focusing on overall well-being, finding purpose, adapting to change, and seeking joy to enhance quality of life and independence.”

Lovelies, just before writing this post, I came across a woman who passed on in her early thirties, still relatively young, with so much to look forward to. Yes, ya tomorrow is never promised to any of us. Similarly, not all of us are given the opportunity to age gracefully. When you think about it, ageing is just your body slowly deteriorating. Your muscles are losing their strength, and your beauty is slowly slipping away through the years. I look at my mother now, and I see the weaker and more frail woman she has become. She can no longer walk and stand for as long as she used to when she was younger. Moreover, she is having difficulties climbing the stairs as we live in a two-story house. Age is a reminder that our time is limited and we will not be here forevermore. Which can take its toll on your well-being. I find myself struggling with my mortality every day. I’m 43, and this year will make me 44. Sometimes I really don’t think about my age. Like it has not completely sunk in. Now most of my hair has turned white, and my face is beginning to show signs that I have been on this earth for a long time. Which is good. I think we spend so much money and time trying to preserve our youth that we forget to enjoy ourselves. Well-being is all about self-acceptance and living your best life at any age. To be honest, as we look in the mirror and our wrinkles are staring back at us, it is not easy to feel blessed and thankful. Going to a nearby drugstore and making a Botox treatment appointment is much easier. Lovelies, remember it is only a body. Your body is aging, not you. You may very well be young at heart. I know I’m. Instead of worrying about how old you are getting. Think about all that you been through and celebrate that you are still here. Be well, take good care of your body. Change your mindset and preserve your well-being for as long as possible. You only have one body. Be good to it, and it will help you enjoy as many years as possible. To be honest, Lovelies, I’m still struggling with my own perfectly imperfect aging journey. That’s okay, I’m perfectly imperfect, and I’m beautiful as is. Yes, we all are beautiful. Now let’s dance to our own happily ever after. I will see you all next time. Bye for now. I love you.

Good day, Lovelies. I certainly hope you are doing well today. If the day is not particularly going your way, remember this too shall pass. Similarly, when we lose someone we love, what helps us cope with our broken heart is remembering that this too shall pass. We know that time heals almost all wounds. You know what, Lovelies? I don’t think we ever completely heal. We just learn how to deal with the pain better. That doesn’t change the fact that our well-being is greatly affected. “Losing love profoundly impacts well-being, triggering grief, anxiety, and depression, but healing involves acknowledging your feelings, practicing self-compassion, leaning on support systems (friends, family, therapy), maintaining self-care (exercise, healthy eating), finding distractions, and creating new routines to build stability and rediscover your worth, recognizing it’s a process that takes time and looks different for everyone. “

Yes, ya Lovelies, on this blog, I get very personal. From day one, it was about sharing my own personal self-love journey. I will always be authentic, and that will never change. On that note, I wanted to continue talking about my lost love. A man who has forever touched my heart and freed my soul. Being in love makes life worth living. Every day seems extraordinary. I really agree that it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. I believe that love opens you to a completely different experience and helps you notice things you might not otherwise. When suddenly you lose that love, it’s as if the entire world stops, and you lose part of yourself. That is how I felt losing him. Nevertheless, as time passed, I had to move on. I dated a different man. Till this very day, no man has ever made me feel the way he did. To be honest, I don’t think I ever will find such a man who takes my breath away. I’m currently in a relationship. There are some things I have to sort out so we can be together completely. I knew it was important for my well-being to open my heart again and to heal. Arguably, heart aches can be one of the worst pains you ever experienced. Nevertheless, being able to overcome your loveless grief will make you a stronger, determined person. Lovelies, I wanted to inspire you this new year, open your heart to love. No one wants to be alone for the rest of their life. Let that special someone in. Fall in love and dance to your happily ever after. Knowing you are loved will do wonderful things for your well-being. Then everything else will fall into place with sweet love. I love you, Lovelies. Be well. Be happy. Take care of yourself. Bye for now.

Good morning or good night, wherever you are in the world. I hope you are all doing frantastic and are truly happy. Today I wanted to talk about a universal language, the love language that is. Yes, I’m a hopeless romantic and love writing extraordinary love stories. When I hear a lovely love song, I get really deep into the lyrics. Needless to say, the thought of losing someone I love just shatters my soul into a million pieces.”Losing love significantly impacts well-being, causing grief similar to other losses, but healing involves accepting feelings, leaning on support, and prioritizing self-care like exercise, healthy eating, and new routines, while also reflecting on personal needs and seeking therapy if needed for mental health challenges like depression or anxiety.”

Lovelies, when I’m truly madly deeply in love, I will do anything for that special someone I love. I’m very loyal and incredibly loving. Furthermore, when I fall in love, I do it completely. Nothing is really off limits; truly, the sky’s the limit. With that said, I wanted to tell you about a dream I had this morning. It is a story of a lost love. We met when I was 31, and he was 34. I was doing my usual daily walks in the park when he suddenly stopped me. He introduced himself and told me his name. At first, I was not terribly interested. Day after day, I would spend time with him in the park. I really started getting to know him, and he was just as eager to get to know me. He seems to understand and know me as no one else has ever done. Like he really sees me. Then last summer passed, I lost him. That was back in 2014. He asked me how I felt about him, and I lied. I told him I saw him only as a friend, nothing more. That day has forever haunted me, even to this very day. Lovelies, my heart is aching, and I have a lot more things I would like to share. Stay tuned for the continuation. Bye, see you later.

Hello there, Lovelies. I’m truly madly deeply sorry for my inconsistency here. I don’t know. It’s like at the start of the new year, I was all pumped to grow my business and truly make this the year. Then my self-doubt crept in. Old habits magically begin to appear. Then, inevitably, I was not posting as consistently as I could and should have. My demons and my sweet heart are in a battle forevermore. Then something amazing began happening. I realized that this is really what I want to do. I love you guys and really want to grow our relationship. I’m currently adding different ways to communicate with you guys. The most recent are my daily weigh-ins on YouTube. Stay tuned for more, and I promise to be here consistently. Lovelies, let’s end this lovely post in a more beautiful way with a poem. Hope you like it.

My dream of a happily ever after, how can that be?

I dream that I’m a honey bee with the sweetest taste for honey, but where can that be?

Can it be down yonder with all the honey bees forming a community of happily ever after, where they are as happy as they can be?

A community filled with love and acceptance where all your perfect imperfections can be.

Ya, Lovelies, I hope you enjoy this poem. It really comes from the heart. The reason I wanted to share my frantastic thoughts with you all is that I want to stay authentic and let you know what is going on. Furthermore, I wanted to show my commitment to you all. Again, I promise to be consistent and authentic with you all. If you are currently also struggling with the new year, comment your sweet thoughts and get the support you deserve. I will see you all next time. Bye, take care.

Hello Lovelies. How are you doing? I do hope you all are doing well and that your new year is off to a good start. Next thing you know, it will be the holidays all over again, and we will be welcoming 2027. I don’t know about you, Lovelies, but to me, time is just flying. It just seems like not too long ago. I was a sweet teenager, and now I’m in my 40s. Time is indeed our most valuable resource; it is absolutely free, and everyone takes it for granted. Needless to say, time can really impact your well-being. “Time and well-being are deeply connected: effective time management reduces stress, anxiety, and burnout by creating control and balance, allowing space for self-care, rest, and important activities, while poor time management leads to overwhelm and negative health impacts.”

Lovelies, I’m living my dream life. I work from home and for myself. I’m the owner of two frantastic businesses, Francesca Etheart INC. and Frans Online Business INC. It is really great to work when you want to. Not having a boss breathing down your neck is icing on the cake. However, since you don’t have someone to tell you to get to work, you have to constantly push yourself for greatness. You have to remind yourself to stop doomscrolling on Instagram and Facebook. These sites are built to keep you scrolling and scrolling. Before you know it, you have wasted 2 hours of your life that you can never get back. I was on YouTube yesterday, just checking my account and seeing how my business is going. When I came across a channel with older people teaching lessons to the younger generation. They talk about what truly, madly, deeply matters. They mention thinking they had enough time and realizing they did not have as much time as they thought. Stories of regrets with should’ve, would’ve, and could’ve silently dancing in the air. Nevertheless, the primary message was not to waste your time on unimportant things. Time is the most valuable resource we often misuse. We all have 24 hours in a day. Yet some of us are living in big Mansions, living a life of luxury. While others are in the street, not sure where their next meal will come from. The main reason being how they use their time. Lovelies, speaking of time. I realize this blog will take more time than I anticipated. Stay tuned for more inspiration tomorrow. I love you. I appreciate you spending your precious time here with me. Bye, take care.

Good day, Lovelies from lovely New York. How are you all doing? I hope everything is going great for you all, truly madly deeply. Yes, Lovelies, I have decided to bring back the daily weigh-ins. I know weighing yourself can cause some anxiety. Moreover, you can also create an unhealthy relationship with a number that can be detrimental to your health. Nevertheless, if you weigh yourself mindfully and create a healthy relationship.”Weighing yourself can be a helpful tool for weight management by increasing awareness and accountability, leading to better outcomes, but it’s only one aspect of well-being, and can become harmful if it causes obsession, anxiety, or disordered eating, requiring personalized frequency (daily for some, weekly for others, or not at all if negative) and focusing on overall healthy habits like diet, exercise, and stress management, not just the number.” 

Ya, Lovelies, in my own experience of weighing myself, it used to cause a lot of anxiety getting on the scale and weighing myself. If the number was too high, I didn’t feel pretty, which was followed by a feeling that I’m not worth it. Just weighing myself would cause a significant amount of stress. So much so that for a while, I simply didn’t weigh myself. I just use how well my clothes fit to tell if I’m alright. Then one day it was time to go to the doctor for my usual check-up. That’s when I realized that I was 173 pounds. I was surprised that I let myself put on that much weight. Thankfully, I was able to create a better relationship with my scale, and now I love weighing myself every day. Which is why I created Franchy Daily Weigh in a more fun, playful way to help you keep track of your weight. Ya, it is really not that serious. That is not to say you should not pay attention to your weight. I just mean don’t give the number so much importance; you are so much more than your weight. Instead, use the scale as a tool for healthy weight management. I want to stress that a good understanding of your weight can do wonders for your well-being. That way, you can weigh yourself with a lovely smile on your face. You can be happy and feel great. Which is awesome. We all just want to be happy in the end. Lovelies, you deserve all the happiness in the world. Take care and be well. I will see you all next time. Bye for now.

Hello Lovelies. I hope you all are feeling amazing and doing great things. Lovelies, like everyone else, I do have a certain routine that I try to follow each and every day. Of course, some days I’m not able to follow my normal routine as I have to do trailer checks in Manhattan. Nevertheless, for the most part, I’m pretty consistent with my mindful routine as I know the positive impact that it has on my well-being. “A mindfulness routine involves focusing on the present moment without judgment, significantly boosting well-being by reducing stress, anxiety, and negative thoughts while improving focus, emotional regulation, sleep, and physical health (like blood pressure).”

Yes, Lovelies, when I wake up, I do my two phone check-ins, and I head over to my calm app to begin meditating and clearing my mind. Then afterwards, I lie down and think about things going on in my life and try to resolve any pressing issues. Lastly, I end my meditation perfectly by listening to my lovely audiobook. Yes, it takes a lot of time. Nonetheless, I feel great afterwards, which makes it worth it. Lovelie’s life is highly unpredictable. We need a mindful routine to help heal our perfectly imperfect souls. Lovelies, do you have a mindful routine? If you don’t, I strongly encourage you to start one. It doesn’t have to be something dramatic. It can be something as simple as starting a daily journal entry. You can write down all your concerns in your perfectly imperfect life. It is always good to let go and not keep all your uncomfortable emotions bottled up. Moreover, it is always good to revisit an old entry and reframe your perceptions of life. Remain open to all the wonderful possibilities of life. If later on down the road you feel you have an important message to share, why not start a blog? You can earn an income and help others going through the same situation. Always stay hungry, Lovelies. Never rely on just one source of income. You can lose your job at any moment. Alright, Lovelies, that’s all for now. Stay tuned for tomorrow. I wish you a wonderful day or night wherever you are in the world. Bye. Take care.

Hello there, Lovelies. How are you all doing? I’m doing okay, trying my best. Yes, Lovelies, Happy New Year. You know, when it’s the new year, we all get all excited for the start of a whole new happily ever after. We start thinking about letting go of everything that’s not serving us. We try to manifest a whole new happily-ever-after for ourselves. This may last for the first 2 weeks, and inevitably, we lose focus and abandon our New Year’s resolution, which is why I never make a New Year’s resolution. Instead, I just have a set of goals I would like to reach.

What about you, Lovelies, what are your goals for this frantastic year? You know what my secret for making a change for the new year is? It is following my passion and dreams. If you are really passionate about something, you will work hard to achieve it. You will pay the price! Lovelies, seriously, since I have been back to working on this blog consistently, I have felt such passion and pleasure doing precisely what I love. I have found myself thinking about you guys and what I would like to share next. When I have had to make another post, I looked forward to it with great promise in my heart. Because I really love you guys. My feelings are all authentic and completely natural. I have seen so much content that was not sincere. It was all about getting the views and making money. The content creator lacks passion. I believe because of that the success was limited. The content never reaches its full potential. Like Steve Jobs famously said, you’ve got to love what you do.

Yes, Lovelies, this new year, do all the things that you truly love and desire. Don’t waste time doing things that you are not passionate about. Live your dream. Don’t dream your life, live your dream. I believe true success is waking up and living the life you truly madly deeply desire. Money is just a tool that helps us provide for our needs and wants. Never chase money when it is your turn. I believe it will come to you easily and abundantly. So, my new year has started a little bit on the wrong side because I got scammed by an old acquaintance. It really has been hard for me these past years. I’m working to make this year the year. Sometimes you are like Enough is enough. That is where I’m currently in my life, Lovelies. Where are you currently? How is the new year treating you? As always, the comment section is open for your wonderful thoughts. I just wanted to share my Franchy two cents on the New Year. I hope you are inspired to follow your dreams and live life with true passion. Life is too short not to. I genuinely love you guys and wish you all the best. Remember to work hard and never give up. Bye. See you next time.
