  • #2018VisionParty

    Hello Honeybees,

    Saturday I attended Clarissa Joi’s 3rd annual Vision Party.

    I have been to vision board parties before so I knew what to expect or so I thought.

    When I make my vision board I like to do it in peace and quiet. I like to take my time and be very intentional about the words & pictures that I choose. Boy was I in for a surprise. This experience was totally different. This was a real party….with a purpose. There was a prop station for pictures, continental breakfast and a live DJ.

    Before we started working on our boards we were inspired by the speakers. Each speaker offered us the inspiration to that we needed to get in the right frame of mind. A vision board is more than just pretty pictures on a board.

    Oginga Carr , our first speaker, gave us his 4 tips to win the day; drink 20oz of water, 20 min of body activation/movement, 20 minutes of reading (a real book), and 20 minutes of planning. All of these should happen BEFORE you pick up that cell phone.

    Lisa Moore encouraged us to be our authentic selves, be focused and know your why and then do that.

    Alex Matlock shared her journey of coming to the United States. Her story is so compelling. There were many nuggets to take from Alex but the one that rested in my spirit was “abandon your comfort zone with faith”

    The last speaker was Felix Anderson. Felix is leading the movement to Wake Your Successful Self Up. He challenged us to create a personal mission statement.

    After being inspired by the speakers it was Clarissa’s turn. She asked that we take one nugget from each speaker. Then she led us in a vision casting exercise.  This where things started to shift for me. I was now ready to create a vision board but this vision board would be specific to the blog.

     

    By the end of the session I was truly inspired and ready to take action. You don’t want to miss the 2019 Vision Party because it gets better and better each year. Thank You Clarissa!

  • Flourish

    Hello Honeybees,

    2018 is right around the corner are you ready? What goals have you set for the new year?

    Since 2014 I pick a word that guides me throughout the year. When choosing a word I am very careful because I want to set the right intention. So far I’ve used…Peace, Brave, Manifest and last year Opportunity. All of these words have in fact had an impact on the year that I used them. The year that I was brave saw me end a very important relationship (still trying to figure out how to write that post). 2017 brought me numerous Opportunities both in my career & personal life, even as late as last week. There have been plenty of opportunities this year for me to step outside of my comfort zone and to make moves towards my next level.

     

    The word for 2018 is…….

    FLOURISH

    Verb– (of a person, animal, or other living organism) grow or develop in a

    healthy or vigorous way, especially as

    the result of a particularly favorable environment.

     

    Noun– a bold or extravagant gesture or action, made especially to attract the

    attention of others

     

    I am ready to grow in all areas of my life.  I am ready to make the right moves to attract the right attention, especially with the blog.

    Let’s FLOURISH together in 2018!

    Skirt- Mossimo (Goodwill)
    Jacket- NY& Company (Goodwill)
    Top- Ann Taylor (Goodwill)
    Booties- Impo (TJ Maxx)

    Beewisdom-  When the vision is clear, the results will appear. Keep your mindset positive as you work your plan, flourish, and always remember why you started.  Germany Kent

    Something New Is Happening

    Hello Honeybees,

    As we near the end of 2017 and get ready to move into 2018 I hope like me you are setting new goals for the new year. You don’t have to wait until January to start working on your new goals. Why wait? Start NOW.  I set some new goals for the blog and I didn’t wait until 2018 to put them into action.

    I have a new name to reflect my new focus and because when I see you all out people will say  “Hey Honeybee” and I LOVE IT. I love the city of Memphis and I want to start embracing it and sharing all things Memphis from my vantage point.

    Let me know what you think of the new name.

    Welcome to The Honeybee 901. Inspired by all things Memphis.

    I’m starting the new year by doing a collaboration with some other 901 bloggers. Yall, I found my blogger tribe. So please go show them some love.  Bianca is a fashion blogger at Curvaceously Bee Ashlee is a chic fashion blogger at Big World Huge Style. Chastity is a fitness and lifestyle blogger at Sweat In Mascara and Marshella Taylor is a fashion and inspirational blogger at Tayloredxtaylor.  This weeks theme is Friends & Family.

    Playing games with Friends & Family can be a lot of fun and depending on the game it can be serious. You will NEVER catch me at the Spades table. I know my limits.

    Dressing casual to hang out and play is just my style. Jeans, boots and sweater.

    I’m ready to play. Chess anyone?

    Sweater: Target, Jeans: Old Navy, Boots: Unisa

    Thank you for being on this blogger journey with me. There are new adventures to take in 2018 and I look forward to taking you with me. If you see me out in the 901 PLEASE say something.  Hey Honeybee!!!!

    Beewisdom- Let’s not play games with our goals.
