Today’s blog is going to be short and sweet. Well short in terms of the novels I usually write on here. (Sorry, Im a talker : P )
Today is the eve of my launch day. I have ZERO finger nails left…I KNOW MOM…HORRID HABIT!
I have an IV of coffee being injected into my veins as we speak.
I am cleaning the house to have family and friends over. The pink champagne is chilling, pink cup cakes are ordered….its insane around here.
To some, you may be rolling your eyes…wondering how the heck a launch of a new website, blog, magazine and what not could ensue such craziness into one person….lotssss of people redo their site and its just another day.
WRONG! THIS IS THHHHE DAY. No more hiding. No turning back. THIS IS IT!
I am going to let every part of who I am shine. I am embracing my flaws, quirkiness, and so much more. My new site…brand and everything that comes with it, is DIFFERENT. Its bold, yet elegant and classy. Its fun, but sophisticated. Its the perfect expression of who I am and truthfully….THAT SCARES THE CRAP OUT OF ME.
Over the past year of this whole process…from dreaming, to sketches, to planning, to finding the right designers, to taking classes to better myself, and even traveling across country to gain inspiration….I have become a new person. I have learned new tricks of the trade that have not only defined me….but have defined by work. I know who I am and how AND what I want to shoot. I have waited in essence 5 years for this day. To be confident in who I AM and let the world see it all laid out on the table.
Fear is what shapes us. Guides us. Makes things worth it. BUT…it can also hold us back, drain us, stunt our growth. But like I take with me always… “all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage….insane bravery….” And tomorrow when I push that launch button, that is the mantra I will be repeating.
This site, magazine, blog, everything….its my heart and soul. Not a mixture of shapes, typography and structured layouts. Though one can say “I dont care what people think!” ….I DO.
But there is one reason WHYYYY I care so much….and this is it:
NO! That is not an arrogant thing to ask for or desire. Its a truthful one. We all want to impact others lives for the better. We want to matter, make a difference, be the reason for positive growth and change. We are all fixers. We see those in need or out of step and CRAVE to help them…at least these are the people I surround my life with. So YES…I want my work, my attitude, my business, my art, my words….I want it all to inspire someone…even if just one person. I want my brand to be way more than colors, print, and images and sparkles….I want my brand to be a reflection of my heart and soul MIXED with my overall purpose and intentions in this industry….and no…THE INTENTION IS NOOOOT TO BE THE VERY BEST…..it is to be the very best person IIIIII can be for ME! My intention is to guide and inspire others to follow their dreams whole heartedly and BE THEMSELVES all the way though it.
Tomorrow, THIS IS IT. NO TURNING BACK. NO HIDING.
I hope you will tune in at 7:00PM on my FACEBOOK PAGE and support me in my GRAND launch. Toasts from afar are so so welcome!
