Pretty In Pink... Perfect In Paisley!

 I think where I last left you, last blog post, I was stepping back. I was changing things, redirecting, grabbing my camera and heading... SOMEWHERE! As an entrepreneur, you get to change it as many times as you desire! You wear many hats, many glasses, switch up products and you get to offer as many services as you are talented to do! Since our last visit, I rejoined AVON and re-signed with the Gourmet Cupboard. I also am waiting on status to be a brand ambassador for l'ange hair products and tools! I have ordered new business cards for my photography, I had another art show and I had a fabulous painting class that I taught for 11 women! I had 4 brand new tires put on my car and again had some exhaust issues fixed on the vehicle that at this time, I am keeping instead of trying to maintain a new car payment. That may have more to do with new car payment vs horse board! I said I was stepping back but it looks like I just went in another direction... AGAIN! The podcast set up I had ...

 I think months back, I talked about what I identify with. Quite honestly this morning, I identify with being extremely tired and thrust forward...mentally exhausted. Burnout and all the notions that accompany trying to maintain a business under ridiculous restrictions. I have given myself permission to just take some time off from quite a few things that in previous years "made" the business what it was. The inconsistency due to no fault of my own has taken a toll. Not to mention, the general public can not think for themselves and they have become obsessed with the conditioning that has filtered into their subconscious via news, political platforms and a virus that is not going to kill them; therefore leaving me at odds because I have based my business on in-person learning or in-person photography. Human beings are meant to associate and do better learning in environments where other people thrive. We are not meant to spend hours in a day in front of a computer screen. It ...

  Don't you hate it when people say, "its business" don't take it personally? Doesn't it get under your skin when the people that should be the closest to you or should be the most loyal to your relationship, goes behind your back, spreads lies and hires (or uses someone else's service) from someone that has done you so wrong! Don't you get so frustrated when people see what you do and what you have to offer, making small niceties in a general conversation to your face but never buy or share anything that you do? (via social media or in-person conversations with others) Oh Yes, it goes against a person's grain and it happens all the time! In all of our lives, some just hide their actions better than others. How many times have you had a person you know that could use some part of a service that you do but for what ever reason truly if there is not something in it for them (a gain of sorts) or if they see the attention is given more on to you than what ...

 For who the bell tolls? It is so people-y out there I can barely leave my house. The influx of stupidity has exceeded my capacity of brain waves. A bunch, a gaggle, a herd, too many that have stopped thinking for themselves, waiting on some "shot" to make their lives sane and normal again. The over-politicized and publicized plague so the powers to be can gain more $$$$ to their books while insisting it is not safe to venture beyond real life! It has been extremely hard for me to look at some and truly not question who ties their shoes for them? SMH Although I believe in tact and etiquette, I feel some of these individuals need to be put in check so they can see how irrelevant they sound. Or if I read of one more thing becoming open to the general public again but in big bold letters... it says, "MASK MUST BE WORN"  For that reason alone I will not attend! I will stay far and wide and not associate because I really just want to yell, "do you know how ridiculou...

 In a recent article I was reading, it was stated by an individual that they did not feel as important as they thought they were. They went on to state, "the phone calls stopped. There were no longer any interactions and I was just left out there kinda hanging. My everyday existence just changed and I did not know what to do with myself." The person on the other end of that conversation simply asked, "well if that person had not come along in the first place what would you be doing? and if you would have been doing that why did you stop and allow someone to take that part away from you?" I have repeatedly said, almost a broken record have said, "life does not stop and all personal activities do not come to a halt because you get yourself involved with someone." The importance of mind clarity and good mental health keeping oneself grounded and in touch with a person's endeavor needs to continue. If a person puts all of their eggs in one basket depending...

 I am a simple girl with a very complicated mind. My standards are high and my expectations many times higher. I have always found that if I can not meet my own standards, how would I expect anyone else to match up to what I desire that also refers to love! {we all have this idea of what love is supposed to look like. It is how we have been conditioned and witness to} Yes, it is that one time of year that big box stores, card companies, florists and chocolatiers insist you must profess your love and show ungodly amounts of store-bought items to prove your devotion! I have always questioned why one day? And what kind of person needs this hype? It's novel, it's boorish, it's unimaginative, and it's just one more day on the books for retail to bank! It's one of those very unnecessaries. No, I do not have a problem with love. I do though have a problem with unrealistic notions that this one day is the be-all and the end all... and that it proves your never ending love f...

 Yep, it's still cold, a whopping 13 degrees at the moment, here in St. Louis Mo! Thankful my boiler is still running at its optimal best! Thankful for the buffalo plaid jacket I'm wearing over my purple leopard pj's (Yeah still not a vision of glam in the morn'n)and absolutely hands down blessed for this rich cup of Papa Nicholas coffee that I am drinking in my "girl can't live without coffee and lipstick" mug from my creative KM Designs line! Life is good! Can you say that? Although my online presence has taken a place on the back burner, I've just been very busy creating "all the things" behind the scenes. I am still WAITING for my new camera set up. Studio equipment that will just make going live and doing video a bit easier! I'm stockpiling mugs and mug rugs, just received my new shipment of aprons, and very pleased to say, I was asked to be in a private 10 vendor show outside of Jackson Mo! In the latter part of March! I am about to...
