To My Babes

First and foremost, I want to extend positive energy to everybody reading this letter. I send all my love in your direction, so you know that your efforts up to this point in life are felt. Know that you are not alone along this journey and I may not be sitting next to you in the flesh, but my energy is now in the room with you. 

 

Take a deep breath and breathe in only that which serves your purpose for positive energy to circulate throughout your entire body. Now, exhale all which has been a part of the worry throughout your day and life.

 

If you need to take another deep breath before continuing, please do so! I encourage you to take a total of three (3) full deep breathes to release all negativity in your life and clear the mind.

 

As I sit and think about the turn of events that brought me to this point, I am both awed and slightly disappointed in how we’ve come to this point, as a culture of people.

 

Personally, I had to overcome a lot, and am still a part of a group of individuals who will have to fight til their last breathes are felt, in order to push a new, more positive, narrative for future generations to come. As a mother, I have been faced with many challenges that tested me, and still tests me to this day. This is how I came to form such vivid ideas in different endeavors. Because as a mother, my everyday job is to protect my offspring and help them find solutions for their setbacks, trials, and struggles. And as a mother, I take this, my #1 job, extremely seriously. 

 

From skin issues to health issues. From growing pains to mental health challenges. From that which can seem so small and minute to that which can make the world feel as though it is completely against us. I have seen and felt the sunshine and the turmoil of both that which can be controlled and that which has to be the onset of turning the other cheek to keep the peace.

 

The reality is that we are all but human, with human hearts and brains that function the exact same way, regardless of our outer appearances. Because I knew I was not alone in my ups and downs, I know I am not alone in my yearning for a better tomorrow for the next generation.

 

Professionally, I am still overcoming and still a part of a group of individuals who will have to leap over mounds and mountains to prove our worth. Yet, these leaps do not have to be alone. As a small business owner, I have noticed a huge flaw in the mom-and-pop, bootstrap method. That is the “shoulder hold,” as I like to call it. 

​

This is when a small business owner carries the weight of the entire business on their own shoulders, eventually leading to the infamous “burn-out.” It can also lead to years of hard work drowning, due to our individual inability to hold firm with planted feet. Not from a lack of trying, but from trying too hard and overworking ourselves to save a penny today, or for whatever the reasoning may be.

 

Today, I offer you a community to join. No, I’m not talking about some social media, extra janky algorithm-type setup, where I’m fishing for likes and follows (though I do need those). I’m talking about a release from the path of the online stronghold.

 

Yes, technology is the easiest way to reach the most people in a short amount of time. Yet, I stand firm on the human experience. I want to see small business thrive. And, I don’t mean in a manner that has dark undertones of “what’s in it for me.” I mean to truly thrive! The only way this will ever be prevalent is if we bring true community back.

 

My mission as a serial entrepreneur of multiple small businesses, is to grow a community of small businesses and individuals who are truly capable and willing to change the course of what a conglomerate is, as well as how small businesses are supported and built for the financial growth and stability of our future generations.

 

We are the backbone of all industries that support and grow the economy. It’s about time we realize our true power and leverage it appropriate- and strategical-ly.

 

Now, let that resonate with you as you take a few more deep breathes. Imagine the future you want for yourself and your own offspring with each inhale. Hold that thought along with your breath for about 3-5 seconds. Release your barriers while exhaling.

 

If you need to take more than three (3) deep breathes before leaving, I encourage you to do so! A total of five (5) full deep breathes to release all negativity, clear the mind, and realize your true focus in life is the magic number.

 

Let’s spread this love letter of wealth, good health, and positivity throughout the nation!
