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.

Hello Lovelies. How are you all doing? I hope all is going well. I wish you all the best New Year’s ever. Wow, I can’t believe I started this blog back in 2015. I have changed so much. As I’m sure you also have changed. I want you guys to make 2026 a New Year that you will never forget. This will be the year that you truly live the life you desire. You are the captain of your ship. You alone are at the driver’s seat of your life. Be proactive to achieve your happily-ever-after.

I started the New Year with a deep reflection on my life, the past year, and what I wanted to accomplish this year. I found I was very reactive. I was the victim and poor me. I blamed my mother and grandmother for not being there for me when I needed them and for not believing in me. The truth of the matter is, I did have a bad childhood. My mother and grandmother were unfit at times. They contributed to my low self-esteem. I don’t hate them because they made me the strong woman I am today. For instance, I had to take care of myself since I was 16. Gosh, I have been through a lot, and I’m still here. Yes, I have been hurt. Lied to. Mistreated. Cheated on and a lot more to be frank. I’m always authentic with you guys. I share very personal information just because I want to help and inspire you all. As usual, I’m getting quite emotional and have a lot more to say, so I will finish this tomorrow. Before I go, I just wanted to leave some inspiring quotes. To help inspire a whole new direction in life. Quotes to love by:

1. “Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to climb to the top.”
2. “Sometimes not knowing all the right answers makes you the smartest person in the world.”
3. “Don’t dream your life, live your dream.”
4. “When life hurts the most, it means you truly have the biggest heart.”
5. “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know which one is sweeter until you decide to give love a chance.”
6. “As long as your beautiful heart is in the right place, everything will be alright.”
7. “Love is so beautiful, but what becomes of a broken heart?”
8. “Live like today is your last day, and one day you will be right.”
9. “Money is just a tool. Use it wisely and pay your last fare to the merry-go-round of broken dreams.”
10. “Fight for the life that you want or lose to the life that comes easy.”

I really hope you find the quotes inspiring and enjoyable. Make this the year. As next year is not promised. I love you, Lovelies. Happy New Year.
