DISTRACTED ?!?! ...


We have all been there before. Rather it was just a moment in time or a year that just flew by, distractions are inevitable and no matter how focused we are, it happens.
Writing this blog post is a bit different from my previous posts, typically I like to write from the conquered space rather the “its happening to me” space, but because it was so heavy on my heart, I am distracted and I am writing about distractions. While I don’t want to talk you out of being distracted, I do want to persuade you to be decided and focused so the distractions that come are less impacting.





With that being said, we are in the most intense time of our lives, we have ample amount of time but so little time. We have resources but so little resources, there is such a duality of the space that we are in and imperative that we maximize our focus so that we are less distracted.
I keep throwing that word around, but I want to add some context. Over the past year, I have been creating, doing two podcasts, working, working out, finishing my masters and just being human that when I took one step left, I found myself off the beaten track. Everything was jumbled, the schedule that I used to know was now filled with improperly placed people, in improperly placed spaced. In layman’s terms, I met a man and found myself distracted.
So for all my people who found love, I am not saying that love itself is a distraction but I am saying love, jobs, re-connections with the wrong person, place or thing is. So, how do you determine if you are distracted? Its simple in a really complex way, look at where you want to be and size it up with those around you. If they are encouraging your pursuit to happiness and purpose, than you are in the right place but if they do not and they only find ways to pull you further away, ie by offering things that could damage what you are trying to build, well my friend you are distracted.
No matter if its life, love and or relationships, every person have a circle that influences purpose. With that being said, there is a few other circles that do the complete opposite. I wish I could tell you that this live would be lived without people, but that would be a lie. Point is, in life you need to focus on the things that you want out of life, and people can either help you move that agenda forward or keep you stagnant. Do not be deceived, distractions come in many forms and they cause delay and dissatisfaction. Do all that you can to keep your focus., your future depends on it.

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...
