FINDING MY PURPOSE!
Happy Thursday Beautiful People. The past few months, I have been blessed with some AMAZING opportunities…I did a fashion feature on Virginia This Morning, I modeled beautiful accessories from Sassy Jones…I was a guest blogger for RVA Fashion Week, I spoke to a group of beautiful women who ranged in age from 55-90 known as “Forever Young…and just last weekend, I was a guest blogger at Macy’s for the anniversary of the Beauty Department. One thing I know for sure…I love meeting people and helping people…making a positive difference in someone’s life.
The day that I spoke to the beautiful women of “Forever Young”, I arrived early at the venue and I sat in my car for few minutes before I went inside. I was greeted by the nicest lady before I went inside…she let me know that she was expecting me and we begin to chat….I begin to feel more at ease and the nerves begin to subside…at the end of our conversation, she said to me that I had a beautiful spirit and chatting with me was what she needed. Hearing her say these things to me, totally put me at ease and truly let me know that I had a purpose and I couldn’t wait to do my presentation and meet everyone!
There was a time in my life when I was so shy y’all…back then, I would have never thought that I could stand in front of a group and talk and do a presentation….and there I was…head held high….shoulders back and smiling and engaging with the audience. You know the funny thing about that morning…well funny now…is that while I was getting ready, I was having a few negative thoughts…like, what if I totally bomb and the ladies don’t like my presentation and you know what were the worst thoughts…things that had happened in the past that hurt me….isn’t it funny how you can sometimes sabotage yourself with thoughts from the past…..I had to quickly compose myself and not let these thoughts enter my head….no way!….this was my time and only positive vibes allowed!
I share this with you today to let you know that we all have a purpose….I found my purpose in the pain that I went through in the past…I found my relationship and grew my relationship stronger with GOD through the pain in the past….so you see, there is definitely purpose in the pain….my purpose…to be of encouragement to others…to be of help to others….to make a positive change in the world….and to be fashionable through the process is just a bonus! I’m pretty sure I was made for this y’all! Sending you all kinds of positive vibes and hugs…..thank you sooooo much for stopping by today….xoxoxo
