Giving Grace

Blogfirmation: Today is a great day to remember how divine and powerful you are.

 

Have you ever experienced your mind being all over the place? You try to be organized and make lists but sometimes things don’t necessarily go the way you want them too. Sometimes I have so many ideas or so many things I want to dive into, and then I feel myself getting overwhelmed.

I knew starting a business was going to be demanding of my time and energy. But I was also excited about being able to create something that is mine. The saying goes, “If you can’t get on the path, you create your own path.”

Since losing my job, I have started my own routine and created some goals. I try to get up at 8am and work out for a good 90 minutes, then take a shower, get dressed and start working on my business. Business as creating content for my blog, making sure paperwork for my LLC has been completed, and writing ideas for the upcoming podcast. I also apply to jobs as much as I can to keep my unemployment benefits coming.

Looking for a job that you are qualified for and want to make a decent amount of money is a challenge. I have been applying since the day I lost my job, and no hits yet. That’s why I am taking the initiative to start something on my own and with my bestie.

Soon the LLC that my bestie and I created will be filed and then we can get to it. Just talking about it gives me goosebumps. Sometimes it seems surreal that we have gotten to this point, well we are like let’s do it. The time has officially come to dive in and create something new.

My vision is to create a space to see my community win. My girls and I all work so hard in our careers.  I genuinely want to see us thriving together.  I am determined to make it happen. Creating this blog on my own has definitely been challenging.  I must have changed the layout so many times.

Let me tell you, I am such a perfectionist when it comes to creating something. I can be a little hard on myself when something doesn’t go the way I want it to go. This process is teaching me things that I am still unlearning. I want to give myself props. I am learning and creating in the same space. I am learning not to be overly critical of myself. We can be our own worst critic sometimes. But I am giving myself grace.

Sometimes you have to step back and look at everything you have accomplished in life. I am proud of the woman I am becoming. Like the affirmation states, sometimes you have to realize how powerful and divine you are….
