A few months ago I wrote a blog about “setting the tone for your life”. I spoke on how we have to create boundaries around the energy people bring forth. A few days ago while speaking to a friend of mine, I finally spoke up about why I exited a group chat, I felt so relieved that she was so understanding. That discussion also sparked more conversation and motivated her even more to change. When bringing something like that to the table, you have to make sure that that person is ready to not only listen but are able to understand what you’re expressing, at least that’s how I do it. Although I am very big on accountability and keeping it real, I am also an empath and dislike hurting peoples feelings, so I tread lightly - unless you need Toughlove and brutal honesty. Now this may or may not work on most people.  So many people have a difficult time with taking accountability for the issues they face, so telling someone they are full of negative energy can end a friendship.

First I’d like to say hello to my old and new readers! Things have changed drastically in the last couple of weeks, I went from being a huge dreamer to being a DOER. I was tired of being in my head and decided to just do it.  A few days ago I leaped into action.  I took the first step and nothing but joy and success came from it. For those who have not read my last blog entry (You should, it’s amazing lol) I am an aspiring model. I recently went to something called #streetmeetdc where models and photographers meet once a month in a randomly chosen location. I almost didn’t go because I would arrive three hours after the hype, but something told me “gabby just go, if everyone is gone then go to a reggae club” lol. Almost immediately after arriving a photographer at the stop light corner pulled his camera out and started shooting me as I crossed the street. He then pointed me in the direction of where the magic was happening, I had to use the restroom but I was too scar...

9 months ago I began to feel suffocated by everything and everyone. I started to feel like a robot that was maneuvering through life as programmed to do. I worked 5 days a week as a teachers aide, 3 days a week as a college student majoring in English so I can one day become a High School teacher. One year prior (2017) everything began to fall into divine order, I moved into my first place and I also went from the community college to the University campus ( A huge deal for me). What made it even better is that the new location was close to home and work, EVERYTHING was going perfect. Everything I wanted was manifesting, what is there to complain about? Now, back to 2018, I'm no longer excited to be at work, its like I'm there but I'm really not. Everyday I was working toward a life that wasn't conducive with the actual lifestyle that I one day wanted. I continued to go that route in spite of because it was "honorable" and the "keys to success"- h...

One of many inside jokes between me and my best friend during our birthday every year “wheewww chile damn near 30 and pushing 45” LOL. We’ve been saying that since we were 20.  Months before my birthday I kept saying “I’m really almost 26, am I where I should be in life”. And then I go on to think about those my age or younger who have accomplished more and are killing it in every aspect of life - or so it seems. Never do I ever get upset at them, I’m proud, but then I get upset with myself because I feel like a wreck most days. Not finishing what I start, leaving jobs left and right, leaving school for the third time, ending business ideas before I even start, and a nonexistent dating life lol. Don’t get me wrong, I’m proud of where I’ve come from, and never see my growth as mediocre, but I’m constantly thinking “more should be happening in life right now”.  I’m a true believer in “we meet people for a reason” and right on time. The last two days I had three women ...
