STAY IN YOUR PRAYER

Lets go back a few weeks, in fact lets go back a few months. Last year even. What did you see? What was it that you were asking for and what were the things that you committed to memory and added to your prayers. Lets hang out here for a while, and just think. Its okay to smile, I know I am. I don't know about you but I had high hopes and big dreams. I wanted to launch this blog/brand and I wanted to move up in my career. I wasn't sure if that meant changing jobs, quitting my current job (cause yall know we love some pressure) or sticking with my job and fighting for the pay and position that I knew I deserved. I wasn’t to clear on the how, while the “what” was staring me in my face. I also wanted a beautiful love story that entailed countless dates (kinda tough with the six feet rule) and remain celibate (excellent for the new six feet rule) throughout the span of dating. I had another goal of buying a condo and to travel, again, anything that required me to leave my home seemed difficult. Well, difficult when looking at my prayers and the state of the nation. The thought of letting go of my prayers hurt a little more, because before I submit a prayer, I believe in it!



Now what? I know that's what you are thinking.  What do we do with all those bottled up tears from sacrifices over the years, the late night prayers that we mumbled so no one could hear? The visions that we kept to ourselves to ensure that the little bit of faith we had couldn’t be tainted. This may be completely contrary to popular belief and what the world may have to offer, but I suggest we stay in that prayer. We stay where our mental and emotional well being was and is thriving. We continue to allow the vision to grow, and build upon what have already seen. We continue to pray, and pray for what your heart truly desires because it will manifest. Its not going to look like what you expect but isn't that the fun part?

Its clear that things will never be the same and our new normal is not an easy pill to swallow, but we still have work to do. We do it when its tough, we do it when we can't see our way out of it and if we don't, who will?
Stay in your prayer and know that this too shall pass.

Sincerely,
Shameless

GIRLS TRIP !?!?

  Let me just start this blog post off humbly and honest, I am by no means an expert by degree or certification but I can offer some wisdom cause I have been around the “ Girls Trip “ block several times. And, I don’t want to toot my own horn, but let’s just say I am proud to offer this literary commentary on “Girl Tripping” Covid edition.   So, here’s my background; I am a funny, witty very esoteric woman who loves to travel. I am a nice glass of wine and a good book type of chick, but I come with my quirks. Timeliness and lacking guest service drive me nuts yet, I have a heart for the tardy. I believe I do well alone, but I’ve come to accept that alone is best friends with lonely and if you don’t define the two carefully, dark places will become familiar. Its really easy to make one moment the standard for others, be watchful of that.

Just a Shameless Leader ...

We've all been there before. Whether you were the new leader on the block feeling out of your depth with unfamiliar personalities, or you were the team member being led by someone who seemed equally lost, the struggle is real. At the end of the day, being in position is less about having the right qualifications and more about feeling qualified. In a workforce that values titles, appearances, and fitting in, it can be incredibly difficult to feel qualified within our complete identity. So what's the resolution? On one hand, there isn't one if we're unwilling to admit that our feelings don't always dictate how we should show up. But if you're here reading this newsletter titled "Just Another Shameless Leader," then you already know how those big, messy emotions can spill into our professional lens and completely shift how we see our day. Welcome to your new safe space. "Just a Shameless Leader" is the best kind of leader, in my opinion. This ...

Better in Time ...

 Hello Family and Friends, It’s been a while but fret not I have been busy with life and the podcast. If you have not been keeping up, well I’d like to wonder what’s wrong with you (LOL). No seriously though, it seems to be an interesting year for us all. With all the things that are happening, rather recorded, or done in the dark we are all feeling the remnants of a world shut down, financial uncertainly, government assistance, and life. With all that in mind, I am constantly wondering about my mental health and the mental health of others. The constant painted smiles, the fluffy light tones, and the outfits that attempt to cover our wounds. I am constantly wondering if we are all suffering in some way and doing all that we can to hang on for a better day. I think of the heavy spider hanging by one piece of thread prior to landing on the ground, safety. Well, if that isn’t your story, please be sure to spread some love (and teach us your ways), but for the rest of us, I want you...
