I had all of these grand blog plans for spring styles & then BOOM, Corona Virus! I went from searching for a shopping cart full of spring and summer bangers to loading mask slayers! My cute jeans are currently in a VERZUZ battle with my stretchy pants. LoL! *insert super shook face* I felt that is was important to include this moment into my blog, because it has taught me the power of patience and has also allowed me to reconnect with the power of purposeful prayer. The stillness of Covid has afforded me more time to pray, create, connect with the people I love, & spend endless hours with my sweet baby girl and loving husband. Hours that would ordinarily be very minimal due to the hustle and bustle of being a working mom/wife in corporate America.
It has also afforded me the opportunity to party w/D-nice, the forever first lady Michelle Obama, and tons of other celebrities at Club Quarantine. A front row seat to the concert of my dreams with Jill Scott and E Badu, turn up with Lil Jon on Saturday nights, meet new friends virtually, attend tons of free zoom seminars, and attend Instagram Live with some of my favorite celebrity stylists. These are things that would ordinarily be placed a little lower on my priority list or quite simply put would never have existed. Most importantly it has provided me with the opportunity to have true balance, as I am now working from home permanently. Something I have prayed to God about. BALANCE. Balance to be great at my daydreams and my day job. Balance to be the best wife, mommy, daughter, sister, & friend. Balance to be the best ME that God has created me to be. Did fear and a little anxiety creep up regarding what seems to be a “new normal” YES; but God quickly reminded me that “I did not give you a spirit of fear” followed by a dose of “be still and know that I am God.” So now was not the time to allow negative energy to creep into my creative space. In fact, there is no better time to be alive and present then now, so that is exactly what I will continue to do.
What lessons are you learning during this unexpected stillness? Check out a few snap shots of my quarantine moments and comment Below!
