Blogging from within...

Was nursing Mo' baby while watching The Mentalist this afternoon and in one of the scenes, Patrick Jane was talking to a lady in a floral detail cardigan and all I could think of was, 'that is a really lovely cardigan, I love it!' From there I proceeded to take a picture of the tv (while still nursing!) and search online for floral detail (or floral print) cardigans and then the thought struck me! Blog about it! 

Of course I paused to ask myself how rational the idea was knowing that my blog is specifically, deliberately for makeup which is what I love to do. But then as with all things born of the Spirit, the honest truth must be told. I had opened this blog account to promote my makeup, showcase my talent in a bid to attract followers and thus gain clients, but I haven't done much blogging (considering how long I've had the blog) due to the fact that I got a great job in an investment bank (I'm an investment banker by profession) and that didn't leave me much time to do anything else. Coming to think about it, 'great' is relative...a job can only be great if the job is your passion, if when you're working you feel like you're on top of the world, like you're capable of moving mountains, like you're living on purpose and in purpose...I quit the job in December 2013 to do makeup fulltime :)

Being bitterly honest with myself, today I made the decision to ditch the notion of wanting to attract customers with my makeup pictures which could do with some improvement and blog to give my creativity an outlet. I would blog from within, on anything that moved me from the inside, from my heart and my spirit and my mind and I would have a blast while doing it. Just typing this brings me joy, I'm happy, I'm being deliberate with my life and the resources available to me. I love writing so I will write (type actually) and pour myself out onto the internet. Following your dreams is the pathway to having a great, rich and wonderful life and I intend to have just that. Every dream I've had for myself, my marriage, my family, my home, my career, I will follow and follow hard and like I said earlier, I will indeed, blog from within.
