When you change your perspective of self; you change your perspective of the world. You will attract others who are in this world but are not of this world. Dreams will be realized, purposes fulfilled and a great sense of joy and pride will be within. I want to hear from you. Leave a comment, find me on IG shop.setapart
]]>I received great feedback from my last blog and download: 1 MONTH LEFT.
I have been accused of living in a fantasy world, la la land only to find out that I am what people characterize as optimistic. I read situations differently than most. There's no need to focus on the negative when you can be building a plan and strategy to create joy. This is where the nay sayers and pessimists give up. Someone who has a Set Apart mindset, has already separated themselves from the negativity and is working out how to make their dreams come to pass. Optimism lives in confident people.
I had taken a class at a local church about Proverbs 31, the Virtuous Woman. She is beyond perfect, lol and I am not. So, I was focused on how to become her but that was not the point. The #1 take away from that class and I appreciate that the Pastor emphasized this-the Virtuous woman was God-fearing, put her marriage and family first and was creative and hard working. She was like me, she was like you. She didn't possess some super power that was only given to her.
She fed her family. It didn't say she cooked daily. In fact, based on her description, she had access to resources which probably included help. So, ladies STOP beating yourself up. Do what you can and do it to the the best of your ability and sprinkle some Joy on top while you're at it!
Helping others and giving brings me joy. I wanted to know what I could do to bring others joy while contributing to my family's finances? The answer was Rita's Favorite Things. What brings you joy? Whatever it is, it is tied to your purpose and dream.
]]>We have one month left to a new year. I keep hearing chatter of people saying that they can't wait to say goodbye to 2020. My question and thought is what will be different on 1.1.2021? Will the pandemic be gone? Will California be out of lockdown? Will our children be back in school without masks? I highly doubt it. So, it would make sense to focus on the now. We don't know what the future holds except that God tells us in Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." That means that no matter what comes our way...we are good! Knowing this has been the only way I have been able to survive these last 9 months.
I created a "Wish" list of sorts. Download it, print it whichever you choose. Then if you are comfortable, share it. Our FaceBook Group was created to be a place where we share, build and grow Click here to join
Happy Wishing
]]>Welcome
2020 brought many blessings. Even with the shutdown three months later, the blessings kept rolling in and they haven't stopped. I pray that we all close 2020 on high: healthy and with our friends and family. One of my latest additions to Set Apart is my shop: LST short for Lifestyle Trends.
Lifestyle Trends is a new collection that I have toyed with for the last three years. I am not a trendy dresser but I love fashion and seeing all the latest styles. Basically, I wanted to participate without wearing(lol) and I wanted to offer affordable fashionable clothing to women of all sizes.
Fashion Trends for less. Offering sizes XS-3X. From there, LST was born.
