Well, here goes EVERYTHING. As shared in my previous post, I've stepped out on faith and made a significant investment into myself. Tomorrow (12/6/17) will be one of the most AMAZING days of my life. As a visionary and designer, I am so looking forward to seeing the reaction to my one-of-a-kind shirts. See, I'm advertising on...The Shade Room's Instagram page! Yes, indeed. This is HUGE. To make the buying process seamless, I am posting pictures of each shirt separately, as well as instructions on how you (NOT including family/friends) can win up to $300.
I've given all I have. I've prayed, cried, been frustrated, faithful, and doubtful. Now, it is in God's hands. I anticipate greatness and for my expectations to be EXCEEDED. Winners will be announced on 3/3/18. The shirts are available in various sizes, styles, and colors. To place an order, see the appropriate link under the MERCHANDISE link. Thank y'all for being a part of the journey.
God and I have a very unique relationship. Truth be told, I've cursed a few times when engaging in dialogue with the Most High. See, I am very transparent with Him. A few days ago, while driving home, I petitioned God to make his promises REAL. See, He said I can have that which I am willing to work for. I rattled off the names of people who were able to found brands and industries: Diddy/Brother Love, Tommy Hilfiger, Oprah, Tyler Perry, Russell Simmons, etc. I see absolutely NO reason why my dreams should die and theirs be allowed to thrive and flourish. Now, I am in competition with NO ONE. I do not have to have their success; I simply want what's MINE.
One thing I've learned to do is be SPECIFIC when praying. My sincerest hope is that God will facilitate the development of nurturing relationships with the RIGHT people. People who share my vision and have a true desire to serve. Once I had outlined my expectations, I SURRENDERED ALL to Him: my worries, fears, expectations, anxieties, and uncertainties. The funny thing about surrendering is that the resultant peace can be FRIGHTENING. I'm trying. One day at a time. Peace and blessings to you all!
