Style Your Life! Create the Life you want

Have you ever thought within yourself that there has to be more to life than this? That the life I dreamed of and the life that I am living seems like two ships that are passing in the night! I remember one day asking the Lord what does joy look like? What do happiness feel like? Its not that I didn't have the car, home, or finances but it was something deep down inside that I longed to see in my life.  This joy + happiness had nothing to do with anyone but myself.  In January of 2021, the Lord gave me the words, 'I Choose Me.' I realized that I had stopped creating the life that I longed for and started creating a life that I thought that others wanted for me! When, I first started my boutique, my dream was of me building my clothing brand Beautifully Speaking (teaching women to speak well of themselves through the word of God) with accessories and handbags. I then begin to see on social media that everyone was buying clothing, so I started incorporating clothing.  I became so obsessed with the boutique trend that I moved away from what I wanted.

After, the Lord gave me that word on last year. I begin the journey of losing the weight that had come from trying to live a life that I did not want. Upon, starting this journey I became sick which led to a year long of doctor visits, and 2 surgeries. During, this time it was dark and all I could hear God say, 'I Choose Me.' He told me that in spite of everything that I had the power to create the life I wanted. So, after I had my second surgery in late 2021 I decided to not rush back to social media and seek God about the direction of my life and what I really wanted. I was barely on social media. I stopped watching how other people were living or operating their boutiques and I started focusing on my heart and what was going to bring me the joy that I had longed for! I realized that I truly missed my love for Beautifully Speaking, writing, and empowering women to become the woman of her dreams! I knew that I was in a shift and that it was not going to be easy and neither was it going to please everybody. But, I knew that it had to be for me and about me.  That this journey was about Becoming the woman that I dreamed of being. 

Maybe, you are the crossroad of your life and want to make the shift? You have to do this for YOU! You have to choose you! You only have one life to live, why not give it your all by not following the trends but following God's plan for your life!
