Hey Girl!!!
So I have been literally typing and erasing this post like crazy. I even deleted a whole 4 paragraphs because I was like Nah you saying too much. Then I was like maybe you should do a video but then I was like nah you gonna be worried about your appearance. Just keep typing.
The truth is ever since COVID bought its raggedy ass around I have been on a crazy roller coaster of emotions. From cancelling one of my biggest events for Greedy In The City, to figuring out how I was gonna make refunds to 40 women and then to top it off , What was I gonna do about my business?. That was a lot to think about and the way my mind works I was thinking about all of this at the same time.
So yes I cried. I was soooo confused I had made some serious leaps in faith and was putting all my eggs into my business. Now I had to figure out a bunch of moves and couldn't really get any advice because the entire world was in the same predicament.
I had moments that were very up and down. I went from feeling a sense of doubt and embarrassment, to then feeling super optimistic about everything. Doing business and balancing your own personal life is enough, adding a global pandemic on top was some next level ish. I really didn't know what to do.
So here we are 4 months later... The world is slowly opening back up and I am trying to join the "get your ish together" club. I miss being a part of the fun, I miss my Greedy Girl Community and I really miss connecting. But to be honest I had to really do some deep work. What was holding me back from doing these things... I am a smart girl. What was the problem?
This pandemic really made me come to terms with so much. Life changes in a blink of an eye and waits for no one. I have been sitting in so much fear of the unknown that it was what made me a bonafide procrastinator. In my head I just wanted everything so PERFECT. Nope, I was being a scaredy cat. Because I didnt want to be judged for doing what came so natural.
So I figured out some bomb ass things about myself that go hand in hand with my business.
1. I am a CREATIVE: so im senistive about my shit... thats why I can't just do what everyone else is doing (picnics, virtual events) My mind works differently and I have some other bomb ish cooking in the kitchen. I love to brainstorm, creating projects are so fun to me. Out of the box thinking is my greatest joy.
2. I love a SISTERHOOD: I love being a women, and I love love love being surrounded by other dope ass women. I love me a SOPHISTA-RATCHET chick. You know the girl who can quote DMX "what these bishes want" and then give me their serious opinion on Global Warming. (cus I feel like the earth is going to take us out)...
No seriously Greedy In The City was created so I could connect with women. I have a huge appreciation for a sister circle. GITC is just not about eating, its also about elevation in all facets.
3. I love to ENTERTAIN: I love hosting guest and creating a vibe. Food & Music are my loves I am one happy camper when those two are present. Then put me in the company of some awesome people and we got a real party. I truly love people and really relish in girl time.
4. I love being SPIRITUAL: Prayer is awesome. God is the only reason I am as amazing as I am. I have been blessed with so many talents and skills that has offered me the opportunity to live a very fruitful life. I truly believe in the power of being faithful and believing. The power of the universe is real and I fully intend to speak into and over my entire life.
But I have been very disobedient as well by not keeping my faith first. Thats why I am writing this post to push past my fears and get ish popping like I know I can. And honor God by acting on his instructions .
5. I am COOL AF! : No seriously sometimes I really be downplaying myself and the truth is im cool af. I have an awesome ass group of friends who wish to see me win every single day. I have a family that loves me unconditionally. They pump me up every day and shower me with so much love and support. I have a business that has the greatest potential of being successful. I get to really enjoy life and have some amazing skills that need to be unleashed.
These great qualities about myself is what makes me who I am. These traits are what gives Greedy In The City its pizazz. Its these very traits that will propel me forward at all times.
I am writing this to say no longer can we sit around looking for the next moment. There may not be one. I had to look deep inside and figure out what do I have right now that will help me move forward. What can I do ... The answer was to use what God already naturally instilled in me. It doesn't take a degree, money, or products to be your authentic self.
I am learning to Just Do It and fix it up and make it pretty later.
I am excited to share this new journey with you.
