Hey everyone! Hope all is well and positive.
Okay so, I've been M.I.A. There have been a lot going on in
my crazy more so boring life. I published my blog on august 5, 2015. I published
my blog before I had any of the proper material and equipment to work or
manage a blog. I brought a camera that didn't have memory card or an
exporting cord (right, that's why it was such a low price on amazon lol). Also
during this time I had trouble with my cell phone. First my phone stopped
working and I had to wait five weeks to get a new phone sent
to me here in savannah at school. Once I got the phone it was
stolen two months after having it. (I know, I guess the universe didn't want me
to communicate.) To receive my replacement phone for the phone that was stolen
I had to wait about two months to get. If that wasn't enough, doing this sometime
my computer shut down on me. (I just couldn't get a break). My new laptop was
sent in a good amount of time where that, I didn't fall behind in my classes.
Now remember all of this happened in one semester.
In all honesty, I was more worried about
getting the things that I needed for school than my blog at that time. If you
don't know I'm a junior in college getting my degree in Behavior Analysis. I
was really upset that I couldn't work on my blog the way I wanted to. I can
feel that blogging will be a great way for me to work on my craft, and the fact
that I couldn’t do it really made me feel sad, I was receiving messages
and getting comment from supporters about my blog, and if I was going to
continue with blogging. It really hurt my feelings that I had people
supporting me but I was not giving them what they wanted.
I remember posting a picture on my personal Facebook page of
me studying on a Friday night (Yes I study on a Friday night.... I just told
you that my life was boring lol) and a friend of the family made a comment
on the post that stated that she was about to do the exact something, and her
comment made me realize that the subject of non-traditional female students receiving
higher education was going to be one of my main topic and supports here on the
Big Girl Guide. Another event happened where I found myself more than ready to
get back in the game… A student on campus that I know told me that she was
feeling down and was going through a discouraging moment in her life and she
said “I don’t talk to anyone... I just keep everything in and I don’t say
anything to anyone” I immediate told her that I was basically not leaving until
she told me what was going on. I don’t want
ANY woman thinking she is alone. I want all women to know that, even though you
might not know me personally but I care for you and I will support you in whatever
you set your mind to. I want all the Big Girl Guide readers and subscribers
to think of me as your motivational helper. This event with this student was
one of the main reasons why I wanted to have my blog so that everyone can have
a support system and can come to this platform and have a community that will
encourage, and motivate them in whatever obstacle or journey they are going
through.
But! With these events that reminded me about my projects kept
me focus on making my blog better. I never stopped thinking about working in
the blogging and motivation industries. I have a lot of ideas planned (in my
head) that I want to do. Now that I have everything I need ...for right now I
am ready to start my programs that I believe will be a great asset to all
women. (More information on these programs will be posted on a later date).
Remember to Stay Bold, Stay Fashionable, Stay You
