I’m excited about the new year! I’m leaving everything that happened in 2015, in 2015…well except my happiness and ideas, oh and my design CLIENTS, lol! I’m about to be a little transparent… I had a pretty rough 2015, and like this Loving the Grind blog site, I too am under development. Just when you thought you knew something, life has a way of showing you that you have no idea. So, here I am…I’ve been observing, reflecting, analyzing, and adjusting my inner self for a month or two now. I realized that I was out of alignment with the universe, and ultimately with God. I’d made some decisions out of fear, made sacrifices for people that I shouldn’t have, and I found myself in a not so good place, emotionally, and scripture says that “Out of your emotions shall flow the issues of life”, so we have to keep those in check. Having been separated for over a year, after being married for 20 years, I figured out that 1. I know nothing about being single, and 2. I’d been moving too fast, so fast that I hadn’t stopped to digest it all, or plan effectively for a single life. I had to stop and look at myself, and tell myself, “It’s okay. You don’t have to be able to do it all, have it all together, or know it all, right now. This is a lot to digest, and you’re human. It’s okay to hurt. It’s okay to be afraid.” So, I’m taking the time to regain balance, and focus. I’m praying, meditating more, and learning new techniques for my “New” life. If there is one thing I would want you to take away from this post, it would be the importance of meditation. Add that to your prayer life…deep breathing, self love affirmations, and a host of other positive meditations. Google them. Now, I’m busy doing things to manifest my goals and vision for my family, business, my life…and this blog, which was an idea over a year ago, that gained traction from this experience, the experience of losing and finding my way back. I know there are other women experiencing or have experienced the same thing… Other women of color who are entrepreneurs, mothers, and like me are on their way to the next level. Well, I look forward to meeting you all, and sharing what I know, have learned, and will learn, with you! 2016 is an amazing year of life-changing manifestations for me! I know it! May this year bring you all that you envision as well. Happy New Year! Peace, and Love!
