The Three R's

Working on All Three!!

Hey guys and dolls! I am sitting here tying up some loose ends and I realized just how healthy it is to keep myself busy! Notice I said myself, I'm not busy with children or husband stuff I am busy with something that is all about me! That is a HUGE deal for me because during my relaxation period I realized just how much I have put off, neglected and plain old forgotten about over time due to being engulfed in everything BUT what I desired for myself. 

Getting Started!! 

So I decided to do this, the writing thing again. One thing that has stuck with me was writing, be it a simple poem, a note to myself or a full page spread of venting it was all writing just the same. I have also dived into preparations to start my own business. I am going to take on the time honored tradition of my Aunties and pursue my desire to make hand made items such as jewelry, notecards and trinkets. I feel so good about this transition because I am not looking for a financial windfall, I am actually looking forward to producing something that I love and want to share with others. 

What To Do?? 

Gosh, to talk about my whole RRR (Relax Relate Release) is super hard. Its been going on for about 5 years now. 5 super long, tumultuous, heart aching, heart breaking, down and dirty YEARS. I wouldn't change it for the world, not one occurrence.  We will definitely get into the details of those "glory years" later. Right now I want to know what you guys do for self fulfillment. Hey, it may spark ideas in others or even inspire you even more towards your goals.  Let me know in the comments!!!

A Fresh Start

Hey All, After much consideration and a tug of war with my ego I have decided to get back into my original passion. Writing, blogging and giving my hefty opinions. So where do I begin? Well first off, corporate america has smudged out the last bit of flame that I had for the 9-5 yes'm club. I have decided to go into business for me. Hey, I come from entrepreneurial stock so why not give this whole self-employment thing a try. Right now I am doing a teespring campaign called "Stand Firm in Your Truth" I plan to use this as an avenue into girls and women's empowerment and encouragement for them to tell their stories, vent a little and just plain old have a burden lifting experience while encouraging others. Until I began to voice my trials I had no idea how minuscule some were, how much I had in common with other women and just how life changing a simple story could be for me. I really want to share this experience with everyone that I can! I am so excited for you all to join me and I also welcome any comments or advice you have to help make this stronger. In the meantime check out my campaign at:
