Starting again after 50 – Powerful Motivation – #PivotWithPurpose #NewB…

Yay!

I started again, again!

I have wanted to start THIS channel for years. And, years. And, years.

I let fear stop me. I let age stop me. I let doubt stop me.

A tornado stopped by and told me to LIVE.

I chose life.

This is my start. I hope it inspires others to move past their fears.

Life is short.

Please let me know in the comments your thoughts. If you start the video, please allow it to play through to help the Algorithm and give it a comment and like. 😎

This is my needle in a haystack. I must leave it there. Yes, chances are slim to none that MY voice will be received,  heard, reciprocated.

That said, slim can’t meet none if I walk away, eh?

I stopped ’round to encourage someone to keep putting yourself out there. Someone is waiting just for YOU!

Be encouraged.

Note: Beloveds, I am learning HOW to fight for my dreams, IN REAL TIME. Before, I would have allowed myself to wallow in pity.

I would have castigated myself for hoping.  I would have hid in comfort eating.

Now, I allow myself to sit with the disappointment, with the discouragement, with the frustration, with the embarrassment.

Then, I allow that I am one of billions. My needle IS there, though.

I am doing my best to BE a light. Be encouraged. Keep being a light. Someone needs the way lighted home!🤗❤🙏🥰🎯🧱🌍

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

The world shall be yours.

You SHALL make your dreams come true.

Please be patient with me as I improve my chops.

I’m trying to make it happen. I’m trying to make a difference.

I hope you enjoy my try.

Have an amazing today. I love you.

Note: What do you dream of? Don’t be afraid to start. If afraid, start anyway. Start anywhere. You will feel like an idiot, at first. That’s okay. The feeling will pass. Leaving you incredibly blessed and at peace with your try.

I believe in you. Believe in yourself.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Tell fear to shut up! – Bringing your most coveted dream into reality #m…

Stay focused on YOUR why, beloveds. I know. I know. Life is laughing all up in your face.

Your dreams are being ghosted. The mountain seems to be getting higher.

Your support has grown bored with your talk of dreams. You are growing bored, with talks of dreams…*sigh*.

This is where fear and doubt loves to pop in and pop off. Tell them both to kick rocks.

I am having a cup of coffee, while I reset my focus back on my why.

I am reaching out in as many ways as I can think of. The results have been little, to nada.

I’m learning to keep making it do what it do, in the middle of disappointment. I am learning how to make disappointment a friend.

Disappointment keeps telling me to move FORWARD. To try again. And again. And again. I will.

Be encouraged, beloveds. Keep doing your why. Remind yourself why you are doing your why.

In the meantime, enjoy the rest of your day. Enjoy your journey. Reflect on the positive changes you are evoking.

Celebrate your try. Appreciate that the way is hard. That’s okay. Enjoy the day.

We got this. We are making an impact. We are being a light. This is enough. We are enough.

cheering us on,

The ONE phrase that changed my life forever!

These have been some terribly disconcerting days. I have found myself:

Excited.

Anticipatory.

Ecstatic.

Disappointed.

Discouraged.

Disheartened.

Plus every other emotion in the book as I work to make my dreams walk in broad daylight.

They are in their infancy. They demand ALL my attention. They won’t be satisfied. Ack.

Please enjoy ‘It Takes As Long As It Takes’. It encouraged me. It is taking as long as it takes…*sigh*.

Still, I am putting myself out there.

I must admit, beloveds, I have had to do real work in reminding myself that my value has NOTHING to do with the lack of views.

I just HAD to hideaway this weekend. I posted. I encouraged. Mostly, though, I gave my heart permission to just miss connections.

Mom as been gone going on nine years. I miss her so. I miss her telling me that everything WILL be alright.

I have allowed myself to miss her. It DOES help, beloveds, ALLOWING yourself the space to heal, to rest, to do or not do, for a time.

This is your life. It’s not a race. It takes as long as it takes…lol.

I thank you. For stopping by. I pray for every follower. I pray for the hidden readers. I pray for the skeptics.

Right now, we are all being told not to care. We are told nobody cares. We are dismissed.

I choose love. I choose to believe in you.

Be encouraged. You CAN. You WILL.

Wooooooooohhhhooooooooo.

Yall are going to have to forgive me, beloveds. This was a dream years in the making!!!!

I have been wanting to share motivation and encouragement since I was a babe.

You all will me a HUGE favor if you click on the video and watch all the way through. This will help the Algorithm boost y first video. I would also greatly appreciate it if you would like, subscribe and comment on the video.

Thank you, in advance, beloveds. I appreciate EVERY like, over the past five years,  that helped me keep on keeping on when I have been the most discouraged.

The videos WILL get better. I am improving with every try.

Be encouraged. Go for your dreams. Start, beloveds, even if the start is a shaky one. I love and thank you. With all my heart.

I just HAD to share this!

I just HAD to share this!

Keep putting yourself out there, beloveds. In as many spaces and places as you can.

I have spent a delicious hour writing more Substack pieces to share next week.

So far, not many views. Far less than in here. In here, as far as the world is concerned, I haven’t done very much, or reached many folk, in five years.

I have done what I could. I will continue to do so.

The joy, beloveds, has been in the showing up.

I can not tell you how much joy I get from even one connection. Even if that one has been only me.😳😎🤗🤣🥰😁

Life is short. I am living it. I just had a fabulous coffee yak with my twin.

Now, I am listening to motivation, so I can fill up with motivation, so I can give out motivation. Rinse. Repeat.

It feels good to have removed the strings from my life. I no longer have the world caught up in strings of my expectations.

Yes, I desire for connections with and from the world. Still, I no longer place my value on how many did or did not.

I love. I care. I keep it moving. I enjoy those who return the favor. I ain’t mad at those who did not.

I am one of billions. It may take a while for my tribe to find me. I can only keep putting myself out there to be found.

Keep putting yourself out there, beloveds. Don’t be discouraged if your tribe has not shown up yet.

At least, one has. Me! Tada! 😁🥰🤣🤗😎😳

I love you. Have an amazing day. I just wanted to share this awesome Tiktok.

I ain’t changing!!!

I came across this. I second this motion.

We ought love one another.

I do.

Be encouraged, beloveds.

Keep shining a light. Keep being a light. For any and all offended by her words, or by mine, I pray for you the most.

I find it terribly sad to see so many folks reveling in and championing the suffering of all who do not look as they do or believe as they do.

I plan on loving as many people as I can. I encourage everyone else to do the same. Life is what we make it.

Have a fantastic rest of your day.

Note: I keep asking God what I can do to make a difference. He says just keep loving folk. I do. I will. Will you do the same? We each CAN make an impact. For the good. Or, t1o do harm. Doing nothing can do as much damage as doing nothing…*sigh*. Life is much too short for the foolishness many are engaged in.

It does not have to be perfect, just yours.

I have been enjoying making bad videos. 🥰🤣

I have been having a hoot indulging in MY passion.

I blog. I encourage folk with bad/corny/boring motivational videos.😆😇🥰

Now, I have NO idea how folk will respond to my efforts. Most may never. That’s okay.

Keep doing your why, beloveds. It does not have to be perfect, just yours.

I think I will go make a few more bad, corny, boring, probably never going to be seen motivational 📹 videos.😁😄😊

Have an amazing today.

Do what you love.
