Welcome Back

"Been on my grizzy but I'm back in the place..." - Young Jeezy Welcome Back

Welcome back indeed. I haven't blogged in the last few months. Just been HELLA all over the place. I was talking to my sis/editor a few minutes ago and we both agreed that I need to hop back on the blog action. My book has been out for about 3 months and I am seriously slacking on the promotions game. All of my friends are like omg you were so focused last year publishing but you're on the slowest stroll ever with promotions.

I've been all over the place and just haven't been able to focus. I know I know, my book is a blessing, I should be out hustling it 24/7 etc etc but that just isn't the case. It's one thing to write a book but it's something else to promote it. I'm not comfortable with it because that book is my baby and I just get scared and nervous. Hey man, I can't be outgoing all the time.

I was really frustrated at first but I had a convo with my biz partner the other day and I came to this realization: There is a reason why I am on the slow stroll with my book.

I do not know what that reason is but I always go with my gut. When I'm ready to kick it into overdrive I will but until then I am going with the flow. What if I rush and rush and rush and miss a critical chance encounter with Oprah or Mo'Nique??? Lol I know that's taking it far but it's the truth. I think I am moving slow now because once it gains momentum I won't be able to slow it down. My friend's mom said that we better enjoy the downtime now while no one knows us. Appreciate the 9-5 and everyday living. Once all that changes, it's a wrap. So, that's what I'm going to do: take it one day at a time and just be easy. I refuse to run around like crazy and instead am taking the time to chill with my mom and dad and others that are close to me. One day I will have to travel and make crazy moves and I will wish that I had spent more time with my fam. 

I signed up for Toastmasters at my job and it is awesome. I sang in front of everyone...was super nervous but i had fun. My nerves are holding me back in so many ways and I am not having that anymore. I chant for the courage to not be so scared and have fun approaching people about Fat Kills

Ok I will ramble for days. Just wanted to get this blogging started again. Check out my book Fat Kills and support please :)

Peacefully speaking it into existence,
