Hello .. It's Me 2016

I was going to start back blogging at the top of the year - but thought I'd give one more before 2015 leaves. A little recap/encouragement, I guess that's what we can call this.

In 2015 - I left my job. Like my real ass, 730-430, get paid every 1st & 15th, this is your set salary job. It's still pretty surreal - but yes I did. I started a business with my fiance catering. Scared shitless isn't even the beginning of what I felt. Read that here. I am still running that business right now.

I have two other businesses that I started a few years ago and ............ well yeah that's it. Time management is a real issue for your girl. Like FRFR .. BUT I still operate them .... just not as often as I would like. So that's my goal for 2016 - all three need to bringing in more income than it is now. Did I mention it's 2:50am ,, and I have a real estate shoot in the morning? Ah well ..



A lot of people ask me about starting a business. After I blank stare at their asses for a good 60 seconds .. I tell them just to believe in yourself. Believe in your product and DO IT! If you don't believe in yourself - who else will. Since starting my own business that I rely on full time to live - everything has NOT been glitter and gold. Some ups and downs have happened but I am still here and my business is still functioning. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. Know that with everything comes the good and the bad. Float through your bad, there is always a rainbow after the storm. Also - have a little COINT put away to fall back on if needed. Cut the thinking of living like you have another "pay check" coming and live like you run a business! You better go to Pinterest and learn so lunch menu ideas ummmkay!! Ya'll thank me later :) 

Overall I had a great 2015! Got engaged, lost a lil' weight, started a business that brought in enough income for me to leave my job .. I'd say it was pretty good. Downfall - losing my last grandparent - but I'm not about to get all up in my feelings this morning umkay!!! So what's the plan for you in 2016? What are you going to start or finish from last year? No resolution - let's just make a goal wall! A vision board to remind you that THIS YEAR  I will try to complete THESE THINGS. Or maybe start on your 5 year plan! Next year I will start on my 3 year plan ( my when I turn 30 this is the shit you need to have done or did plan umhm ). 

So I'll be back to all the foolishness you love at the top of the year. I have a planner from stalking thebabyshopaholic - so let's see how I do lol!  Continue to send your reader letter to me :) 

xoxo,

Who's Cooking Nah?

Who started this cooking for your man is something that only wives do and not girlfriends? Do ya'll smoke crack? I'm convenience you early-mid 20 somethings smoke crack.

Like I hope she not frying NATHAN!! Because baby bout to get burnt up trying to be cute.) and the girl replies "this is wife level package, you can upgrade your girlfriend package by buying a ring. He couldn't be me. STARVE THEN BIH! Listen .... follow me umkay? 1. NONE OF YA'LL (me included) makes enough money to eat at a restaurant everyday where the food is that damn bomb!

Dear MCM, I am a Husband

My girlfriend and I have been dating for 3 years. Recently we started talking about moving in together and I brought up marriage. She brushed off the question and I really paid it no mind. As we started going to look at rental places, I wanted more rooms than she and when she asked me why I brought up future kids and marriage. She laughed at me and said who said I was going to marry you. Honestly this took me back and hurt my feelings. I guess she noticed it and tried to "please" me later that night. Yes it was great sex, but I was still mad about what she said. This is her way of "hoping I don't bring it up again." We were deciding on what place to pick and I asked her what did she think about getting married in the next year or so. We both are stable, great jobs and in our early 30s. She said she doesn't know if she wants to marry me. I asked her why and she couldn't give me an explanation. I thought about it over the weekend and that following Mon...

If It Were You, Would You Be Proud

I don't really know how to start this post, but ya'll rock with me so just let me have a moment. I love to blog but I am having time management issues with everything going on in my life. It doesn't make me money so it kind of goes on the back burner even though I love to do it. My small home town had a double homicide yesterday. I'm not listing names or locations because I respect the privacy of everyone in that situation. With a sad heart, my mind began to race with thoughts of "if this happened to me, have I lived the life I wanted?" Because it can happened to any of us. I live in Stone Mountain, GA and although my block is very quiet, little to no children on the block, just a few weeks ago my husband and I came home to a road full with police, fire department trucks, ambulance vans and cars everywhere. We still don't know what happened down there. I work for myself. My husband and I started a few businesses together and each of them has there se...
