    The Entrepreneur’s Maintenance Prayer inspired b The Entrepreneur’s Maintenance Prayer inspired by the Entrepreneurial Silky, @diddy.  Uncle is always working and glowing, glowing and working. 

PSA: My pricing strategy includes self care.  Self-care in the form of hiring the team to assist with executing the vision.  Hiring support staff- cleaners, drivers, assistants, prep cooks as needed.  I’ve done it other ways before…doing all I can to pass along savings to my client and working too many roles to hold on to meager “profit”. I wasn’t saving myself though.  I’m gonna call it a phase because thank God I’m still here to tell the story.  No self-love or preservation or sustainable growth was in that strategy.  It was necessary Education, though…some call it “the hustle” 🤕😅. Include self-care in your process so you can joyfully continue.  We are trying to stay pretty, yes? 😍🥰

Furthermore, I don’t like cheap food (quality)so how can I offer it?  The wrong kind of customer can make you who you don’t want to be but YOU have to insist on doing it your way and know your people will come and will truly support you.  Wellness abounds for us all.  Godspeed, Supporters & Creators 💚. May we serve *each other* well.

    I can be so possessive. 😎 Lovely people..Imagin I can be so possessive. 😎
Lovely people..Imagine God loves you the way I love green.  He’s so possessive and smiles every time He sees you.  He’s also like looking at people sideways who try to claim you like He don’t already got you.  He always got something to say.  He’s all 🥰🥰🥰. 😂😂😂

Wishing you a wonderful Sunday & A peaceful start to the week.  Enjoy this gift of life.  I am here to help you celebrate and see goodness in the gift we have. 

Love you & Happy May!

    Happy International Women’s Day!! I am gratefu Happy International Women’s Day!! 

I am grateful for all the women that have inspired me throughout the years.  Women who are bold and kind, thusly beautiful.  Women who own their unique space, fitting into no mold other than the one God-given to them.  Women who walk in courage toward their dreams- fanfare, optional.  Women who aren’t afraid to stumble imperfectly *ahead* in pursuit of vision, confident in divine alignment and that success will come.  Women who search for authenticity and depth in life. Women who speak their truth with grace.  Women who feel. 

Women in faith.  Women in hospitality.  Women in business.  Women of color.  Global Sisters.  Supporters.  Guides.  Lifters.  Friends.  Thank God for women.  We are blessed and highly favored!! 

May we continue to be fruitful in good work!
