"Don't wait for the perfect moment; take the moment and make it perfect"

~unknown~

Hello loves I hope everyone is having a fabulous week thus far! It has been crazy for me the past couple of weeks with work and various business opportunities that have come my way for My Daily Threadz. So much so that I decided to take a moment to regroup and reflect on how I was handling the business aspect of being a sewing/fashion blogger. For so long I've been wrapped up in trying to make things happen the way I wanted, that I completely ignored what I knew to be true all along, "there really is NO PERFECT WAY." I guess you can say it was my way of maintaining control by trying to dictate how and when instead of allowing things to happen naturally. After missing out on what could have been an awesome experience I've decided I will no longer stand in my own way. Instead I will look at every opportunity as a stepping stone to the next level of greatness. In other words "Let it Do What it Do!

No more apprehension as I fully understand that nothing great ever comes from stifling your own Shine! So as I let go of every negative thought and imagination that would come to hinder my progress I wholeheartedly accept the challenge of allowing myself to be FABULOUS! I'm not concerned about what the next person is doing as that will only take my focus off what's truly important. After all its not about anyone else this is truly about my own self-reflection and propulsion. With that being said I challenge each and every one of you to embrace your inner sparkle! Get out of your own way and allow that sparkle to shine bright like a diamond!

XOXO
