‘Tis’ the Season to Slay

Happy Holidays!

Hope you’re having a great week so far! This time of year is such a lovely time. It's a reminder  to look at the good in things. I had a rough time this year, but this time of year lifts my spirits despite the loss I've had. Here’s my top favorite things about this time of year:

1. No classes! ! This is my number one reason to slay right now! I don’t have to wake up and keep the stress of staying on top of my work. You may not have school anymore, but maybe you have children or young family members that you get to spend a little extra time with, if so, slay with them with fun holiday pics. So ladies, take this break to slay (even if it's your favorite holiday PJs)!

2. Spending time with family and friends. I had sooooooo much fun spending time with my friends and family that I don't get to see as often as I like. I'm a firm believer in soaking up quality time with the people you love while you still can.

3. People are much nicer. I went to NY last week and have never met so many friendly people there! This time of year, people have no choice but to be nicer

4. The beautiful views! I love the lights and decorations that is all over! Fun Fact about me: Sometimes I take the long way home just so that I can see the beautiful lights.

5. The treats! Who doesn’t like a good excuse to eat cookies or drink eggnog?

Fearless

Hi loves,

Welcome back! It’s been a minute! Sometimes hiatuses are much needed to get a fresh start.

Things I've learned while I was away:

1. Put GOD first and you'll never finish LAST! 
2. The things you speak have a HUGE impact on your life! Speak positive, speak life!
3. Go after the very things that people tell you NOT to do. "That's not smart!", "I wouldn't do that if I were you!", "I wouldn't wear that if I were you!"
4. We spend our lives asking people what they want to be. I always wanted to be a successful, but now I'm learning it's more important to be happy! Do what makes you happy! 
5. ANYTHING is possible as long as you put your mind to it! 
6. Sometimes people value finances as blessings! The biggest blessings that I've received this year were things that money couldn't buy! 
7. If you fear it, do it! I faced my fears this year and it has been the most confident/rewarding feelings I've EVER felt in LIFE! 
8. I always keep it real! People love you as long as your doing/telling them the things they need to hear. I used to hold back because I didn't want to "hurt" feelings, etc. You'll lose friends, family, etc 
9. Living your life pleasing others and their dreams and aspirations for you will make you MISERABLE. This pushed me to start over this year and I'm ok with that! Doing the things that ultimately make me happy is giving me the best feeling EVER! 
10. Tapping into the REAL you, will make many people UNCOMFORTABLE. you'll lose friends, but thats OKAY! 

Wearing this outfit reminded me to walk boldly in these lessons!
