SAYING NO to get to the BIG FAT YAAS!

Wow Gangsters,

Where did this year go? If you are like me you are truly reflecting on the past 10 months. It was exactly a year ago today that I made the decision to change my life and the lives of those I love. The choice for change is one we are all faced with every day. We can look at our lives and say yes to becoming the best and highest version of ourselves or just say I'm fine. I believe F-I-N-E is truly a 4 letter word my loves. I know for me I have and always will be blessed but in this world where violence, scarcity, and division seem be common themes. I knew I had to do something to create more positive ripples in our world. To change the way I looked at my life, and in turn discover the beauty of every obstacle.

What did I do? I chose to make this my year of change. Try new things, travel alone, immerse myself personal development, become a Certified High Performance Coach, reiki Master, and lover of all things life enhancing.

I realized that I was so busy making a life that I forgot to actually create the one that I want. I was stuck trying to climb the corporate ladder and felt disappointed every time I heard, hey you are really funny, but can you tone down your personalty a bit, could you be a little less southern, or my favorite, your hair color really is real isn't it.

Well the Answer to all of these questions was a resounding "NO". I do not want to be less, funny, tone down my sassy pants self, change the way I talk, or change my hair color so someone will take me seriously. What I know to be true now is all of those moments were signs, signs that I have a bigger calling, a mission, a divine  to teach what I know, to help other women to do the same. 

If you have been searching for a sign my loves, this is it. If you keep getting passed over for that promotion, if you can't seem to move beyond your current circumstance, if you are an entrepreneur, your knocking it out of the park financially , but the rest of your life is a freaken wreck... This message is for you

Have you ever stopped to think maybe just maybe all of this things are not happening to you, but for you???? That you are being steered in a different direction and until you decide to see that lesson, listen to the call, and follow your heart you will keep getting more of the same.

There is a beauty in the mess, a blessing only you can see once you take off the blinders. so take off the Real world glasses, and celebrate your obstacles. Today is a great day to look for the blessing and just stop stressing my friends. Your life is a direct result of your thoughts, feeling, and actions.
