But then last week happened and … Continue reading “CRAZY” in LOVE!!!!

Getting My &*#@ Together Series: Boss Up, But Relax, Bihh — YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED!
But I think this procrastination; this lack of motivation; the excuses for why we can’t do the things we want are just lies we’re telling ourselves because we’re afraid. We’re afraid of our potential, afraid of not being successful, falling on our faces, looking stupid in front of other people.
