A Freaking Year!!!!!

First, I say Thank you Heavenly Father, for shining your Light on me. I say thank you for placing these strange ideas in my head and providing me with the courage to see them through. I thank you for strengthening me and showing me that everything I thought I needed was already placed inside of me. Thank you!

It’s been a year yall. I struggled with my confidence when I first started this blog. I had a notebook that I would write down all types of ideas, plans, research, etc but I never did anything with it. I would get excited for the moment and just let the ink fade on pages. I started surrounding myself with new people that I could learn from. I took risks, not knowing that my actions were preparing me for greater. I went to a panel discussion with business owners and other young professionals who were just doing the damn thing. I walked away that night empowered. It’s like somebody set fire to my ass! I kept thinking, if they can do it, so can I. So I went home and posted a video. I got positive reviews from family, friends, and coworkers but secretly, I critiqued the hell out of that video: “Omg I hate my voice, why does my neck look like that? What’s up with this dimple in my chin”? “Will anybody listen to me? Why is my opinion important? I’m not that fancy with wordplay.”

I got over myself. It’s my life and it’s not based on the number of likes I have on Instagram, the number of subscribers I have, or the traffic to my site. At the end of the day, it’s just me. No filters, no photo editors, no DVR. I refuse to allow my life to be 140 characters. I still struggle with ideas and what I want to write but I have developed the strength, courage, and wisdom (and faith) to know that I was placed here to be GREAT. As we all were! I may not be everyone’s cup of tea…and that’s perfectly fine with me. Thanks to everyone who has ever taken a moment to read my posts, give me feedback, and support me. Hopefully you all enjoy the new platform and stay supportive. “I aint rich, till he is rich, she is rich, and we is Rich!” I just want everyone to know that you were born for a purpose and it’s time to walk in it. Let your gifts show and let's go and be GREAT!.

Blessings and Thanks,
