Blessed Journey

My Journey as a Single Mom, Business Owner, Entrepreneur, and Full Time College Student

[blessedempressiam-blog]

It's a perfect day to walk and handle some things. A little ladybug hitched a ride with us on Munchkins Stroller. A Robin walked with us for a few minutes and a silly squirrel stalked us playfully in the trees right next to us. Can't forget the Butterflies and Cardinal that stopped to say hello. Now back home for a good nap for munchkin and some class work for me. #Blessed #Grateful #mom #MomLife #momsofinstagram #Singlemomlife #Mamaandbaby #Bestfriends #Blogger #Ourbackyard #Letsgoforawalk #GrandRapidsMichigan #Soysantera #Ancestors #Gratitude #prayers #suunyday #Babiesdayout #babiesofinstagram #Dayinthelife #6monthold #Fulltimecollegestudent #Fulltimemom #businessowner #Entrepreneurmom (at Paul Henry Trail)

We Aspire to live and Inspire our little ones. Praying that we teach the truth in that the journey won't be easy but it also won't be impossible. We aspire to live a life of trying and succeeding and even succeeding in what seems to be a failure. What we take from our journeys is far more important than what we leave behind. Striving for an easier tomorrow knowing the path we set out for today will light the way. We don't want to shine false hopes that there won't be bumps in the road, but rather the knowledge as long as we choose to stand we can get over them. And for the reasons, I must succeed! . . . . . . . . #Amotherslove #Blessed #Grateful #mom #MomLife #momsofinstagram #Singlemomlife #Mamaandbaby #Bestfriends #Blogger #GrandRapidsMichigan #Soysantera #Ancestors #Gratitude #prayers #meditatedaily #meditatingmama #suunyday #babiesofinstagram #Dayinthelife #6monthold #Fulltimecollegestudent #Fulltimemom #businessowner #Entrepreneurmom

Nom Nom Nom... Munchkin Loves her Apple and Pumpkin baby food from @beechnutfoods I like it because its #AllNatural she likes it because it tastes good. Letting her feed herself tonight with her @munchkininc baby food feeder, I love this thing because it doesn't leak. She's getting so big 😥😭 It's hard to believe she's going to be 7 months in a few days. 😲 . . . . . . #Beechnutbabyfood #7monthsold #babiesofinstagram #Babygirl #Singlemomlife #Dayinthelife #Letseat #Biggirl #Happybaby #Eatingonherown #Growingbaby (at Kentwood, Michigan)

Rainy Days with a side cuddles. I guess she's not feeling the day. Tried to get some errands done and she wasn't having it. Every time she saw her car seat she'd have a fit and hug me as tight as she could. Spending a few minutes in between each stop to reassure her MAMA IS HERE, YOU'RE OKAY and When we get home you can have all the cuddles you want. The past couple days she's been more independent, so it only makes sense that today she wants more 1on1 time. #lazyday ##cuddledayallday #singlemompower #Mamasgirl #Blessed #Grateful #MomLife #momsofinstagram #Singlemomlife #Mamaandbaby #Bestfriends #Blogger #Momsoftumblr #GrandRapidsMichigan #Soysantera #babiesofinstagram #Earlydevelopment #Dayinthelife #6monthold #clingybaby #Fulltimecollegestudent #Momblog #Fulltimemom #businessowner #BloggerMom #Entrepreneurmom

6 Things You Need To Have To Attract Your Positive Vibe Tribe

Yesterday we looked at why you need to have a positive vibe tribe, today is all about the traits we need to embody to attract them to us.

1. Authenticity - real recognise real. Being our true selves without fear of how others will respond to us is what attracts real people to us. If we compromise how we feel for the comfort of others this will be reflected to us when we attract fakes.

2. Purpose - knowing what drives us. Assessing whether or not the people we attract to us align with our goals helps us to determine if they are part of our tribe or just passing through. People are in our lives for a reason or a season & it’s up to us to acknowledge when their season is over.

3. Knowledge of self - understanding what we’re looking for. The only way to identify our positive vibe tribe is to know what types of friendships we want. We form this understanding by reflecting on past experiences & integrating what we’ve learned from them into our daily actions.

4. Passion - loving what we do. It’s pretty hard to attract positive people if we’re living a lifestyle we hate. We need to do the things we love every single day to put ourselves in a positive mindset which attracts positive people. We attract what we are, not what we want.

5. Positivity - training the mind to see the best in every situation. Looking for the positive outcome of each experience is how we release resentment and embrace peace. Acting from this place of abundance & fulfilment attracts others of a similar nature.

6. Patience - greatness takes time. Everything that’s worth having doesn’t come easy and everything that comes easy isn’t worth having. Our tribe is waiting for us, all we need to do is live in alignment with our truth and the rest will fall into place.

We attract what we are, not what we want.

Peace & positive vibes.

I think going back to school was one of the dopest ideas I ever went thru with. A first-time student at the age of 35, I wanted to be sure I was going to school for something that's going to be useful. Owning my own business and all the other endeavors I choose to embark on, being like most people schooling with no benefit isn't an option. Time is precious and shouldn't be wasted. Studying for my Bachelors in Business Administration with a concentration in Entrepreneurship was and is a perfect choice. I am super excited about this journey. I am already three weeks in, and I am feeling great about the work is done thus far. If there is ever anything, you want to even remotely TRY, my word of advice is JUST DO IT. I never saw myself as a college student. Not because I didn't think I was smart but because I was uncertain of what I was interested in. You hear of all these college students not actually working in the field they spent all that time studying for. I knew that couldn't be me. So I waited, and I am glad I did.

She’s got a case of CBS today. (Clingy Baby Syndrome) So her favorite place to be today is in my lap and arms. Mama is her play Ground! (Shes lucky she’s cute!) 😝 Mamas Lap and A few of her favorite toys.

CBS: Clingy Baby Syndrome

It is barely 2:23 p.m. And we've already started with the clingy baby syndrome it's been an all-day ordeal. She seems to just want to be attached at The Hip To Her Mama today. I understand she loves me and I love her just the same but it's really hard to get things done when she's like this. You put her down she cries, you lay her down she cries, anything outside of your arms she cries. Sometimes I take these days as days where spiritually I'm being told I need to just relax and other days I just have too much energy and really really want to get things done, but find myself a little frustrated because I can't. No matter what my feelings, I always try to redirect my emotions into the thought of something positive. I know later on in life these days could be hard to come by, where she just wants her mama or even days when she might feel like she's too old to cuddle, so yes I do try to take advantage of them as best as I can now. the beginning the end and the middle of the day we're all each other has right now so I don't mind making sacrifices for her I don't mind being still. I don't mind not having my phone in my hand. I don't mind just sitting and being, because being with her is the best thing in the world.
