Compared to my life now, all I can do is say “wow” to the old me. The naive me who looked for love in all the wrong places, the angry me who was hiding some pretty intense things, the indecisive me who didn’t know what the next step was in life. The me who was in relationships with men who didn’t know what they wanted, nor who they were. I’m so glad they no longer have access to me.

I’m at peace. I’m now happily engaged to a man who would move heaven and earth to make me happy, living healthy, losing weight, challenging myself daily, drinking my water, journaling often, studying for the bar exam, traveling, practicing self care, and taking on life’s challenges gracefully as they come to me. I’m an amazing daughter, granddaughter, niece, cousin, fiancée, stepmother, and friend. I actively love me.

I am currently living in a dream, while daring to have an even bigger one. There are no real rules to this life. Just find ways to enjoy it, and pay no attention to the background noise. That’s all it is anyway.

T.B.💋

Lawyer Barbie. 💅🏾👋🏾

Secret of the elite woman; you don't secure the bag. You secure the network that secures the bag. Network = networth, if I have to text you this everyday @ 5 am I will.

There are tons of information out there on how to network (I have an ebook on it too on my website) but we barely talk about who to have in your network. Making friends is cool but you need friends that will level you up and keep you up there, power is stored in webs. Well then what kind of friends will make a strong web? As your self appointed big sister let me take the liberties

Finance Barbie. Yeah. You need a bestie in finance, mainly accounting, investing and basically banking. Now much respect if you are good with the numbers queen but for the rest of us mortals we need help all year round. When you build your web find you a finance queen that will keep you up to date with finance trends, the stock markets, currency, help you out with accounting &c.

Law Barbie. You want to never get screwed over? Find you a friend from the law (sector?). My business was literally saved by a thing a lawyer friend said in passing, this is one of the pillars of a succesful person. Eventually you'll have to hire a lawyer don't leech off the homegirls pay what's due but you will pick literal life changing information from this bunch.

Law enforcement. Might be the immigrant in me but being friends with a ranking officer in law enforcement has saved my hide countless times and I overall feel safer knowing a couple of people in uniforms got my back. Plus if you're an immigrant the social navigation that comes with a friend in uniform is Godsent.

A social butterfly. We need socialite friends besties. I'm looking at you introverts. I have an influencer social butterfly friend that has introduced me to most if not almost all of the opportunities I've had. There is a special place in heaven for girlies that know who is who, who is doing what when, which restaurant has the best meals &c. Us introverts appreciate you you have no idea.

A religious bestie (if you are religious) . Honestly this girl I met in church five years ago is probably responsible for my faith still being intact. Get you someone to keep you in line. To worship and pray with. To remind you how it is.

& sis remember relationships are an exchange of value. You need to bring something to their table, don't be leeching okay? Okay.

God, i don’t want to be stagnant. in this same place next year. introduce me to me. help me to see myself the way that you see me. do whatever you need to do in my life that guides me closer to you. and my destiny. heal my heart so my triggers become my testimonies. add or remove whoever or whatever you need to help me grow spiritually. develop in me the character to not just reach the places we talk about but the character to stay in those places.
