Make that change

I am facing my fears head-on. I am moving in the direction of becoming a fearless female. I am tired of being afraid of doing things I would like to do to make me happy. I am over that because I have things to do, places to go and people to see. That doesn't happen when a person is afraid.

I went to a lecture yesterday that gave me such great advice on pursuing a field that I have been interested in for a few years but I always had an excuse for not doing it. Either it was not the right time for me to do it or I didn't know how to begin or get involved or make a demo or get clients. Well, I am over that and moving full steam ahead. The lecturer of that class, Mike gave pros and cons to the business. One of the cons was that the person in the mirror is the person that is keeping you for pursuing this field or any other field.

I knew this deep down and it's funny because I always tell my friends and family that they should figure out what makes them happy, by themselves and then pursue it. Advice is so easy to give out yet not quite as easy to listen to when it's your life. I am so tired of not taking my own advice, but I have good reasons. In retrospect I don't have good reasons and I am sick and tired of being sick and tired so my lecture yesterday is the first step I have taken for my foray into the field of voice-acting.

I am not afraid of taking risks in life any longer. I am a strong, talented black woman and it's time that I live up to the person God created me to be. I am excited and happy that I am making a change.

Whitney already told you

 Today I just knew that I needed to write a post.  Sometimes I know what I am going to write before I start, and then other times, I'm just winging it. There are plenty of things on my mind and I still don't know what my topic of the day will be. That is until I know what it is going to be. I look at the people in my life every day.  No, not physically but logically and some of the time emotionally. I come to the same realization every time.  First off, there is no such thing as coincidence, in my opinion. I believe that the family you are born into is based on many things, but it is never a mistake.  When you meet your friends, lovers and others, it is for a divine reason.  All things work for the good.  Not some of the time; all of the time. Now let me be clear, two things can and are usually true at the same time.  You can have a happy life and feel joy while still feeling sad over certain situations. The reverse can also be true where in you f...

Cafe Bustelo with a little cream

 I don't even think there is a phrase that describes the feeling that I currently have about my life.  It has been approximately, a year and a half since I have last shared.  The truth is that I have barely even written anything beyond a text message in that time.  For a while I called it writer's block but now, I know that is not a true assessment. The truth is more emotion and far-reaching than that would connote. When last we spoke I believe I was legally ending the worse chapters of my life.  Now, this is not to say that some good times were not had in that more than decade of my life, but the bad times definitely outweighed the good ones.  The lessons were a multitude with nary a time to rest really.  I am good with the knowledge of this at this point.  There has to be bad in order to enjoy the good; the night must fall in order for the sun to rise; there would be no way to turn left if you didn't have the option of turning right.  You g...

True Confession!

I have a confession to make. It's funny because telling a secret or making a confession is a very hard thing yet once it's done that weight has been lifted and you feel a little lighter. That being said confession is just good for the soul. I know that the devil is trying his best to keep me from obtaining my destiny and this confession is getting ready to shame him because he is a liar and he will not kill or destroy me. I am taking back the power I gave him in this situation. I just had a birthday and I turned 36. I love when my birthday comes around. This year was no difference. Actually, it was a lot better than it has been in years. Partially because I spent my day getting to know a new person in my life but mostly because I have been getting to know myself. This is my real-life confession. I didn't begin to feel good about myself until I was in my 30's--I was around 32 actually. I had the most negative self-talk a person could have. My self-esteem and self-imag...
