Get a LIFE this SUMMER!

Ahhhh...The flowers, the trees, the HEAT! Summer is the right time for growth and and shining. It is a time for living your dreams. I'd like to believe I'm doing quite a bit of all three. I've been SHOPPING-SHOPPING-SHOPPING, and preparing for a huge move (I'm talking cross country status)! I have found that both things require a lot of energy and help. Thanks to the shopping gods that there are GARMENT ANGELS. You know those people who contribute to the awesomeness of your fashion existence. These angels can be anyone from your 'bestie' who donates great pieces to your wardrobe (or business in my case), to a salesperson who helps you out while you're in a fashion dilemma, i.e.- flats vs. pumps. Then there are those people who help you to embark on the journeys of your life- Like moving cross country. Not only have I depended on the kindness, advice and cold hard cash that my friends and family have given me, I have taken to getting serious direction in my life by seeking the guidance of a LIFE COACH. My coach, Carmen McNeil-Jackson of Spiritually Juicy and Lifestreams Life Coaching, is my professional, certified guide, hired to be my compass to the destinations that I have set for my life. Wow! I didn't even realize HOW important she is, until I just saw that sentence in writing. My coach has told me that "I'm driving the car, and she's reading the map." How dope is that?!? At any rate, we talk about my dreams and aspirations, and then discuss the means to accomplish my goals to make my dreams real. Doing this is so important when you need to get out of your head and onto your journey.


I said all of this to say- Anything that we do, in life, is generally better when we get it done with the help of those who are sent to assist us and care for us. I'm learning that it's okay to ask for what you need, when you need it. I'm the girl who helps you to keep the FLY gear...That's just what I DO! LOL!  But, I want to encourage you to seek out those 'ANGELS' when they are not readily available or visible. Please take this Summer time to not only be HOT in your fly gear (a la Lil Mama's Baby online vintage boutique), but also to get your life on the track that you dream it to be. On that note... Let me show you some of these FLY NEW pieces that are soon to be available on http://www.lilmamasbaby.com/
