Reconnected!
I know, I know it's been a while but a sistah has been extremely busy and in a rut! I've been moving at a slower pace, not making as many phone calls & appointments, dragging my feet and sleeping a lot...just in a rut. What I've realized is that I wasn't connected.
Things got away from me, I dove head first into the Literary Gala, which was a huge success (click here for pictures), and then I was getting my boy's ready for the new school year. Rearranging and working out some personal situations, working tirelessly for my 7 clients, making all the right connections, yet I still wasn't connected.
I was interviewing for newspapers and having guest spots on radio stations, making my mark in the media but guess what? I wasn't connected. I just didn't feel fulfilled.
I woke up this past Sunday morning and had a talk with God. I asked him, "Lord why am I dragging? Why am I not living up to my full potential? Where are these headaches coming from? Why have I lost my motivation?" And he answered, "Because you are disconnected from me."
I got my behind up, threw the SpongeBob pj's in the hamper and made my way to my church home where they received me with open arms even if they hadn't seen me in months. I sat a few pews from the front and received my message. I cried and praised the Lord and read my scriptures, and left feeling better.
Now I know one day of church isn't going to turn my life around but I'm reconnected spiritually and things are looking good. I've got my spunk back, I'm laughing and joking again. More importantly my business is thriving and I am making the RIGHT connections on a daily basis. Thank you family, for excusing my absence during my "Disconnection" phase but I'm back and ready to get to it!
So don't be expecting all this goody two shoes stuff next week! By the way, have you all picked up your copy of Straight with No Chaser yet?? Get to it!!
