Ready to give it my all

Things are about to change for me in a great big way. I am no longer working for someone else all of my income will come from my hard work. I am focused on growing Heavenly Blessings into an empire that my children's children can benefit from. I and terrified but determined. Giving up is not an option, I have already put forth a lot of effort to make this happen so now I must keep pushing on. Working for myself is something I never really gave much thought to until recently and with the growth I am seeing in myself I can't see myself going backwards. God has blessed me with so many talents that I have been sitting on for way to long. Believing in myself is number one for my success. I have a great collection of friends routing for me to succeed and I refuse to let myself or them down. Heavenly Blessings will be a success and so will the future business I plan to start. No I'm not stopping at one. I have aspirations of opening a day spa and salon, everyone deserves to be pampered. I have spent to much of my life in the safe zone with consistent income form working for other but still barely making it. I'm getting out of that comfort zone and stepping out on that same faith that made me leave the only state I had ever lived in. It was scary and hard but my faith in God has never steered me wrong.. Get ready world this girl is on her way up!!!!

How did this come about?????

For years I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on products for my skin and hair that contained ingredients that I would not have used had I know what they was and how they affect the body. I decide to go back to natural with my hair after being chemically processed for over 30 years. on top of that my youngest daughter suffers from eczema so bad that she has put holes in her skin from stretching. Medication the doctor would give her didn't help much and it got very frustrating for the both of us. My desire to help my child's skin and my need to care for this hair of mines that no longer had chemicals in it and me wanting it to be healthy led me to researching what I could do for the both of us to improve our situations. my research led me to natural oils. I learned so much about oils that I never knew especially essential oils. I began taking that new knowledge and experimenting with those oils. I was still buying products from the store but that was all very temporary. I made my first batch of body butter, which my daughter calls mommy butter in the kitchen of my small Chicago house over 2 years ago. I used that butter on my daughter and myself and I saw almost immediate changes.she was less itchy and her skin started to heal.  even though I had made a business page on Facebook and had giving a few people some samples of what I had made I never really gave it much thought beyond making body butter and maybe bath oils and soaks for her. It wasn't until I moved to Georgia that I took what I had created very serious. I have spent the last 6 months working on Heavenly Blessings' new products, a logo, labels, and learning how to run a business. I created a peppermint body butter for my daughter that works even better that the first butter I made. Essential oils have so many healing properties that I would not have known had I not gotten frustrated with my daughter's suffering and my deciding not to relax my hair any more. my business us growing and I am still learning so much about oils and how they can treat the skin and health issues that we take dangerous medications for everyday. Look out because Heavenly Blessings is about to be revolutionary. Yes I now there are a lot of other "natural product" business out here but I am so committed to not just temporarily treating the skin but actually healing the condition with this new knowledge that I have and am always adding to!!!

Loving the new life!!!!

Sitting here with two of my three daughters during a break from braiding my baby girl's hair admiring everything about my life that I'm building here in Georgia. I have a growing business a book coming out soon and I am part of a foundation of black women that is about uniting empowering and uplifting others. Thinking about our upcoming conference in July and I'm nervous and excited at the same time. Public speaking is so far out of my comfort zone but I'm so ready to break free from all the barriers that I have put on myself. God has really been working on me and what I am supposed to be doing with my life I spent so much time do what made others happy. At 39 years old I am all about my own happiness. I am not the type to hurt others in order to be happy but I am determined to be happy. My daughters are and will always be the most important people in my live but with them grown and growing up I don't have to life exclusively for them anymore. I have done a great job raising them.
