This is my very first post on my blog and I had no idea what I was going to write about because I haven't been inspired by anything lately.
If you have read my about me then you know that my sis and I are aspiring to design our own accessory collection, although this first post won't have anything to do with fashion, arts and creativity, it will probably make a lot of since to someone.
To say I haven't been inspired by "anything" is a stretch because I have been inspired, I've been inspired by my younger brother Elijah, he's fighting cancer and has been for 2 years now. He sent a special request that he wanted me to come visit and that he will be waiting for me. I went home to TEXAS a month ago to see him and it was amazing, he has great energy and a very warm and wise spirit. I've never felt so sure about myself and life until the day we spoke face to face, he talked to me like an angel and the fight in his eyes told me to Just Do It....just live life to the fullest and conquer my dreams. I'm much more aware of life and all the small precious things in it. Instead of complaining about the career that I don't have, I thank god for the job that I do have right now. When I sometimes get lonely and complain about not having a hot date or anyone special to converse with, I thank god again for holding on to me and keeping me away from all the a** holes, lol... My life is great along with all the flaws in it and my brother told me that I'm going get everything I pray for as long as I keep fighting. Its not anything that I don't believe or have never heard before but I know that that day and that moment when my Elijah spoke it, it meant something different. It meant that I'm going to be a huge vehicle to peoples lives and that life doesn't stop for no one. Just Do It....do any and everything your heart desires as long as GOD comes first. Yes we are human but Its silly to have excuses and complaints around these worldly things. I always complain about never having enough money to fulfill what it is that I need to do, well... that's when you become creative and challenged to think outside the box. Even when I do get the money there's going to be a bigger excuse because I'm always going to need something and more of it. Don't think of it as not having enough because as long as GOD provides you with the service to give, you can always go back to the source for more.
My brother is 27 years young and has fought through getting his leg amputated, lung surgery and brain surgery to further find that the cancer has spread throughout his entire body. I've never personally met such a brave and strong being and can still give GOD the praise and glory. His words of wisdom to me were to stay strong and to count every blessing in life whether it be big or small; we have a family to keep together and I expect you all to stand strong for me, I need an army of soldiers to fight this battle. We are going to lock arms put on our armor and fight till the end. With that being said, I wake up every morning and thank god for everything in life because its someone out there who don't have the opportunities or the strength to get up and Just Do It. I dedicate this post to Elijah for inspiring me to continue on a great journey through life and an industry that's a different world. Its because of your words that I have the drive again continue on to pursue StellaSue Accessories. I Love You!!!

Deep words. Very insightful first blog.
ReplyDeleteMy motto since the new year started was "there is nothing to it, but to do it". Your bro speaks wise words ;-).
I'm very proud of the words written in this blog. My many conversations with Elijah has always been that his family learn to love and know God has he has. He has achieved inner peace by knowing that whatever road he must take it will end up with him in God's arms. What other happiness is there? He refuses to questions the path that he has been chosen to walk and walks it with much strenght. B.J. life is full up many roads that we must walk but no matter where you go know that you do not have to walk it alone. Just remember to pray. Many people look at my life and think it just grand but it's not the material things but the happiness that I feel I am so blessed. I look at my kids and the love I have found with my husband and pray every day that I hold on to it. I love you B.J. and will keep praying for you.
