OT: Dead Prez – The Beauty Within

Posted by urbansista on April 26, 2011

Hi all,

Sorry for the sporadic posts! I’ve been busy and I’m now fighting a cold. To keep you company while I’m recuperating, here’s a song from Dead Prez. It’s nice to hear someone say something nice about natural girls. I’ll be back later this week with some posts!

The kids are sleeping and I finally have some time for myself. 🍋 #Crafting is a form of #selfcare for me. Between the #entrepreneuriallife and #momming, I need time for myself to #create and try something different...like this #glitter tumbler. Isn't it gorgeous? I love the colour--is so pretty! 🍋 This one is mine, but I going to be making a few more for the @blackqueensofdurham Holiday Market on December 16 in Ajax! 🍋 Life can feel busy, crazy and out of control, so when you can, just #chill and do what makes you #happy. 🍋 Work will be there tomorrow. Until then, I #craft 😉 🍋🍋🍋

Did you know this week is Global Entrepreneurship Week? In my neck of the woods, it's Do It In Durham week as well. A few weeks ago, when I heard about all the sessions, I registered for a bunch. 🍋 Fast-forward to Sunday night when I reviewed my calendar for the week. I was like, "Damn. Why would you book so many sessions?" 🍋 On Monday morning, I got up, got the kids up and ready for their days and dragged myself to the first session. 🍋 And you know what? 🍋 I enjoyed it. Every minute of the session and I had pages full of notes to help me improve my business. 🍋 Yesterday was the same thing, but I traveled to the west end of #Toronto on a chilly fall afternoon to hear Minister Mary Ng and MP Arif Virani discuss small business and women entrepreneurship at Women on the Move led by the fantastic Heather Gamble. The party started after the minister’s announcement with a wine-tasting by @sharispx 🍋 Yassssssss!!! 🍋 Through bleary, tired eyes, I participated in today’s @communityilab_ World Café, with more than 35 of my closest friends. We brainstormed ideas around innovation for female entrepreneurs. Finally, I logged into to a webinar hosted by the amazing @suesutcliffe about the 10 Cardinal Sins of Web Design. 🍋 Over the last few days—not to mention the @townofajax 3rd Annual Diversity Conference—I have made a number of connections. People who have learnings that can help me improve and people who have the need for a funny, down-to-earth communicator. 🍋 I am telling you all about this, not just because you may be interested in my daily comings and goings, but because we all have goals and it’s easy to see your schedule looking a hot mess and say, “nope. I’m too tired.” 🍋 Nah. Not today, Satan. 🍋 I encourage you to get up. 🍋 Get dressed. 🍋 Get out and meet the amazing people in your community. Build relationships. Connect with thought leaders. Be a thought leader in your space. And enjoy creating an amazing space where you can do your best work for your clients and customers—whatever that is. 🍋 What are you waiting for? 🍋 #gew2018 #doitindurham

So...for a long time I've been getting in my own way. 🍋 I've been second-guessing some decisions and letting doubt creep into this journey...but I've realized that I don't have to. 🍋 I am amazing at what I do. I'm a great communicator. I love playing with #words and helping people tell the stories their audience wants to hear. 🍋 It's not about me being scared. It's about me sharing my gifts with you. 🍋 Who wants to #communicate better? 🍋 Who wants to connect with their audiences and stand out? 🍋 Who just needs a push to get ish done and add some magic to their #content? 🍋 Is that you? 🍋 I'm planning on some big things for 2019? DM me your email if you want to know how you can join me.

Never forget or we are destined to repeat. 🍋 #remembranceday #veteransday #thankyou #supportthetroops #neverforget #SweetLimeCulture #SweetLimeComms #theaccidentalnatural

Yesterday I bought this bracelet. It's inscribed "He strengthens me." It spoke to me. 🍋 There is a lot in this world that tries to break us. Situations, careers, decisions--but it is so important to find what strengthens you. 🍋 For me, it's #faith. For someone else it could be meditation or singing or laughing. 🍋 We all have challenges that can break us. I encourage you to find what strengthens you and hold onto that. 🍋 I try to remember this quote on days like today, "I already know what giving up feels like. I want to see what happens if I don’t." 🍋 Keep moving forward, friends. 🍋 🍋 🍋 #SweetLimeComms #momboss #entrepreneuriallife #entrepreneursofinstagram #WisdomWednesday

“People do not buy goods and services. They buy relations, stories, and magic.” -Seth Godin, author and former dot com business executive 🍋 He's right. People don't buy just because it's a good deal. They buy because it elicits an emotion of some sort. Organizations have an opportunity to create #communications that tell their story in an interesting way because trust, if it's boring and not engaging, no one's reading or listening. 🍋 Read more on my Words, with a wedge of lime blog. Find the link in my bio. 🍋 🍋 🍋 #SweetLimeComms #communicator #communications #words #wordsarepowerful #wordsaremything #momboss #mompreneur #wahm #workingmom #girlbosslife #girlbossgang #beyourownboss #buildingbossladies #entrepreneursofinstagram #solopreneur #smallbusiness #canadianbusiness #caribbeanbusiness #blackbusiness #storytelling #storyteller #faithbasedentrepreneur
