IN ALL SEASONS BE GRATEFUL

Greetings to all you amazing earth creatures. Lol, 

I know I said I would start updating my blog weekly, I think I skipped a week or two. So, I'm going to commit to updating it as frequently as I can. I'm putting way to much pressure on myself and I hadn’t come to this realization until I started writing this post. I have a lot going on mentally and physically. This blog post wasn’t supposed to be about my mental or physical health. When I thought about this post, I wanted to go on a rant about my recent photoshoot for my brand. I had a mini photoshoot session after my brand shoot for this post with my little sister, as I started to gather my thoughts and decided to select the images from my mini session, I realized my sister did a horrible job taking the pictures. I was drawn to the one above to go along with this post. She took about twenty, but they all sucked (in my opinion), well except for the one that made it to this post (which by the way I think sucks as well, but at this point, I needed an image for this post (bare with me on this one if you are in agreeance). It's not her fault, she's not a photographer and she doesn't know my angles, Lol. I was stuck trying to put things into perspective for this post. If you know me you know I'm not very long-winded and I like to set high goals. My goal with each post is to have about a four hundred to five hundred word count, anything less and I won't feel complete. (Sorry, this is what is recommended for bloggers to be successful, the perfectionist in me has to comply. Furthermore, I want my blog to flourish). I always want to keep things on here true to me and not rant about things that aren't affiliated with me, I mean its the reason why I started the blog.

Last night after I got home from my photoshoot, I was a little overwhelmed, I've been waking up super early to maximize my days as often as I can. This is all fine and dandy until exhaustion and anxiety begin to affect my wellbeing. Having to care for me, my kids, my momma kids, and running several businesses. You can begin to imagine how my brain is probably functioning throughout the day. I made a few goals to get the ball rolling for July for my fashion designing business. I've just been checking them off with the help of the universe. Things are going and looking great. I've been setting more realistic goals, SMART ones. I've heard the term many times, but I would set goals way above my means. What can I say, I'm a big dreamer, correction, I am a big, big, big dreamer because just one big wouldn't suffice for my level of extraness. I guess I could have used massive or enormous and maybe you would have gotten my point, maybe. To keep it a hunnid, I don't even talk like that. Lol 

About last night: Last night I selected the title for this post and today the universe dropped in my lap another reason why I should be grateful. I selected the title based on the things that have been going on in the world. I am here, I am healthy, still setting goals, and able to check some of those goals off. I Still can't believe all I had to do was write down my goals, pray about it, and watch it manifest itself. Sounds crazy right?!? Shit, I just had a Deja Vu while typing this! Okay, Universe I see you! This part of the post had nothing to do with why I selected the title last night, but I thought I would share that with you guys. I set a monetary amount in sales for July, and I made it within a week. WHOOP!! WHOOP!! I also manifested the shoot I was supposed to be ranting about. Now, this post is just one big rant about so many different things.  Now you see what it is like to be in my head. Lol, If you are going to run here is your head start. 

Last night: Have you ever been so grateful to be doing the things you love? Do you feel you are walking in your purpose? I got the opportunity to go out and shoot some amazing fashion this past Monday. This was so long overdue!  After writing things down and setting some goals for the month, I was able to schedule this shoot with an amazing photographer and model in the area. I woke up one day and made it my goal to reach out to five models and five photographers for the week. The following week I was scheduling shoots and talking concepts, I was super excited about this, when the pandemic happened I had so many projects that were scheduled to be done. I was most excited about this look book I was working on with a photographer and several different models. The concept was to evoke different types of emotions, with one image telling many stories. This was supposed to be the year of me showcasing my talents and pushing my limits with my designing skills. I had so many amazing ideas for gowns I was going to make, as per the themes. Things the world has yet to see me do. It was very unfortunate that things turned out the way it did, I like to think everything happens for a reason and God has something greater in store. 

To be able to get back into the groove of things with the amazing team I put together on Monday, it shoved me in a very emotional space, a good type of emotional space. I'm always grateful when I get to walk in my purpose and make others just as happy as I am. The model and photographer were raving and ranting in amazement of the gown, this made me feel really good inside and out. Moments like this has gotten me to appreciate the hurdles. It also inspired the title of this post. The title would probably make more sense if I talked about the things I wanted to last night. (I've exceeded my word count goal, so, I'm just going to end this now, I have a virtual conference call I need to get on). 😀 

Oh, wait, before I go my heels are the Mika Embellished Clear Pump from ShoeDazzle, arent they bomb?
