ALL OF A SUDDEN ...


I used to hear the shaking, the rattling, and the movements of my thoughts as I personally witnessed the season change. Not the actual four seasons of life, but the heart and mind season of my personal self.
Since December of 2019, I knew there was something happening, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. First, it was the flood in my home, then it was my job denying me a bonus based on outside factors that I could not control, corona and now this. The “this” that I was thinking of was the silence of a new season.

I don’t know about you, but seasons are tough. They come and go as they please, they shake things up and could leave you in a mental disarray. Be that as it may, they serve a purpose and I am here to say, that all of this has been our silent season for shifting. There is no way around it, and no way out of it. It is the season of confirmation. The season that knocks you down and picks you right back up, the season of abundance and lack at the same time. It is the silent season of convergence, where everything that you have been doing finally makes sense. It’s the epitome of All of a Sudden.

Funny story, I used to have this really bad habit of smoking hookah. I used to go out for hookah and stay in the house with my hookahs. I would make social events centered around hookah and create personal moments for self that was surrounded around hookah. The point that I am trying to make is, the hookah habit had me fully engulfed. Then one day, out of nowhere I woke up and no longer desired hookah. I packed them all up and gave them away. The season of hookah habit was important for many reasons, I learned a new skill, I learned to fall deeply in love with something, I fell out of love with something, but ultimately my purpose is connected to breaking bad habits that hold people back. So, I had to have something to break to learn how to encourage people on breaking habits.  It was my convergence; it was those two seasons that taught me how to start and stop a thing. Here’s the whole point, what you are going through has a start and stop, and there is always an “all of a sudden” moment that propels you to the next step but you won’t reach it if you quit.

Keep the faith and serve the season, and just know that this too shall pass.
Until next time,
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...
