🛬Enjoy the Journey, Don’t Rush the Destination!🛬

Good day, all you happenin’ cats and groovy babes! I want to let you know that it doesn’t matter where you start; it matters where you end! Hold the phone, I know, I know, some things right now SUCK!!! I hear ya loud and clear, and trust me, I can relate. Just a few months ago, I was depressed and down in the dumps, and ya know what -I hate to tell y’all this but, I didn’t want to be here anymore, but I Thank God for deliverance!!

These are the early stages; notice the shaping and designs!

But she did not give up!! And I am sooo glad she didn’t

Now let’s get to it! I’m pretty sure you’re wondering, “what’s up with the random handpick, and how is it supposed to motivate me” OMG, I wanna know too, slow down, slow down. Don’t worry, keep reading and you’ll find out 😉. This is my baby sister -you know, the one that’s not such a baby anymore😥. She really enjoys doing her nails!

Ssshhhh...🤫🤫 Just between us, I’m trying to get her to branch out because I think she is majorly talented, and with proper, continued practice, she will only get better!! JUST LIKE YOU!!

Even though she is my baby sister, she inspires me every single day! She makes me want to be better so that I can be the best big sister for her! She found something that she loves to do, and she kept at it until she got it down!!

Even now, she still practices and tries new things all the time!

She said to me the other day -about this set( to the left)- that she wanted to figure out a way to keep the foil pieces from lifting, and YALL, SHE DID!! The joy on her face when she told me was enough for me to cry!! I am so proud of her and EVERYTHING she is doing and will do!!!

I know sometimes it’s hard to motivate yourself…..TRUST MEE…I get it…. now I am not saying it’s going to be easy.. What I am saying is try and take that first step! If you are like me, you won’t do anything until you are ready, regardless of how many people tell you that you can or that you are exceptional and can do anything and blah, blah, blah! But let me tell y’all this, even when I had people telling me to do it and that I was terrific and all that jazz, I still didn’t!! WHY YOU ASK? because I was SCARED, BEING LAZY, MAKING EXCUSES, and didn’t know what to do! All I want to do is help people in any way I can and if that means getting.

➡ REAL with you then, hey,

LET’S👏GET👏REAL👏, BOO👏..

She was starting about eight years ago. Just doing it for fun or, as she calls it, relaxing me-time.

These are around the time that she was starting. I think at this point, and she had been at it for two years. Even with this picture, y’all can see the progression from the first one!!! Keep Pushing!!

Oh no, not another woman yellin’ “she bout’ that life”, “she a real one” and “she keeps it 100” No, not at all…Because ya gurl had PROBLEMS…. and I’m still working on them. So, What does that mean????? It means I needed someone to be REAL with me. I needed someone to tell me the problem because I CLEARLY didn’t see it for myself! Every day before the 10th of October, OH, don’t get it twisted, I’m Talking about THIS YEAR…Yep. Chileeee, I know, but hear me out though,

I was down on myself, speaking negativity in and over my life. I was always crying, I felt empty, and like something was missing. I had no purpose, and to me, if I had no purpose, that means I didn’t need to be here-dark days for me, but I will talk more about that in a later blog! It took me turning, wait for it (inhale, exhale) the BIG 3-0 to realize I needed to make a change. My boyfriend is wonderful! He always motivates me, even when I don’t want to hear it! He kept telling me that I needed to take action….but y’all I wasn’t trynna hear that boy and his bloom fawkery, blasphemy, and tomfoolery! Because to me, he was trynna tell a sista what to do, and ya girl was NOT having that, RIGHT!!!🙄 But that’s just it! I needed that, I needed to put my pride aside and listen….and I’ll be the FIRST to tell you I GOTS too much dang pride! So that’s what I did, and with the help of him and my wonderful baby sister, y’all now have All Things Jazzie!!!

(In my Kevin Hart voice) look look look looka dis’, Somebody come looka dis”, looka dis,” Somebody come and looka dis’….looka dis’

I don’t really like that whole cliche of “practice makes perfect” I am more of a “practice makes permanent”. Hol’ up, swole up; before you blow up, hear me out. I like to think of myself as a logical thinker, and in my eyes, if you practice something POORLY, you will learn it POORLY🤷‍♀️. Therefore, I am more fond of the 7 Ps of preparation

“Proper Preparation and Planning Produces Positively Proper Performance”

-You may know of its cousin-

“Proper Pre-Planning Prevents Painfully Poor Performance”

But we are happy people here, and we want to look at the glass as half full!! 😉

THAT’S MY BABY SISTER YALLLLLLLLLL, AND I AM SO PROUD OF HER!!!! I am proud of her, NOT because she did ME a favor, I am proud of her because she did HERSELF a favor! She didn’t give up, she didn’t stop, and she is STILL learning and growing everyday!! I Luh Ya’ Girl!

As always, thank you ALL for allowing me to share my passions with you! I hope that my blog inspires you to go after what you want and believe in yourself because I believe in you! Now strike your POWER POSE- We got this, LET’S GET TO IT!!!
