New Beg-in-nings

 Today is June 4th and I feel like a brand new person. Some people wake up and have a routine, for me no. I wake up, shower and get ready for whatever the Lord has planned. I have hard times figuring out exactly what I want to do or should do. So I pray and ask God to be a lamp unto my feet and light unto my path. Now I know not too many people engage in this faith walk. I'm not here to tell you what you should do. For many people who know me I am very spiritual. Being spiritual is for everybody; it's how our spiritual eyes are being opened. But enough about spiritual talk. I truly want to engage you in my day today. 

Sometimes I feel like the female version of “Everybody Hates Chris “ but instead Ania. Being a visionary is hard when you live in a lack city. Today I made the conscious decision to go back to school. Now this may seem suprising! Let me give you a little history. Once upon a time your girl wanted to be chief of the Supreme Court. I really thought I was somebody in kindergarten dressing up as a judge on career day. I always knew at birth or I was able to understand what breathing on my own feels like . I knew I had the power of influence and leadership. At a young age I used my gifts like speaking & writing to get people together but also as an outlet for myself. 

I got a little of the subject so lets rewind. Me “Ania” always had a heart to help. Dream from being a judge to victim specialist to social worker & now a barber. Just  to let you know … none of this is new. I'm very spontaneous in my work. I love being diverse. Today I'm going back to Baltimore Beauty & Barbering School. Not gonna lie, I hate big classes. I can't learn. I can't focus. I can't be still. Too many distractions. I am most definitely one that takes my time and loves small intimate settings. I feel like we get better results here. 

I enrolled in this school last year and kinda gave up on myself. I didn't think I had what it takes to become a good barber. Especially with no experience. I was there for 3 months and left. I got caught up with distractions. Smoking, going out, my relationship and all was a BIIIGGGGG distraction. ( yes i am dramatic). But when I truly put my mind on something, you best believe the ball gets rolling. 

Sad to say I have been to so many schools and have yet to accomplish graduating from the most important one. Isn't that college? I used to attend MSU “ We Are The BEARS)! They say they don’t make any mess but that's the main reason why I left. No disrespect to my Morgan cubs but lets be honest … the hype of the HBCUs are really fake & trash. It gives a false depiction of what black edu or culture really is. That's just my opinion. Now i went for 2 years major Sociology and music. I told myself why am i paying this much money, with the lack of any type of educational support for me to not learn anything. Now the only 2 classes I took that really caught my interest. Dimension of family violence and Black Families. 

The point I'm trying to make is that we think we need qualifications, degrees and all these platforms for us to get the number 1 big shot everyone is waiting for. I'm actually here to tell you … you don't lol.

When The Time is Right

When we go through life we often wonder when things will happen & that can be for any event. Can I share a story… honestly I’m being so transparent with you all. There was a time I was so on fire with my business Not For Sale. We was on the role back to back events. Getting sponsored & funded.  It was like I was in an economic high.      Making so many accomplishments at such a young age. Then I hit a place in my life where everything took a pause. Everything had stopped. My life has changed from having everything together to putting everything back together… but little did I know in the next 5 years it was my teaching season. My prepping session.     In those 5 years continuing the process of success is patience and gratitude. It was told to me that it’s about the journey and not the destination. I believe that you will land in the place of milk and honey. Of course that’s the land of abundance, joy, peace, love, happiness, stability an...

Let It Flow

  Let It Flow  For all of my music lovers, let's call out Toni Braxton! That's my girl. When I think about Toni her resilience, strength, courage and love all comes to mind. That makes Toni plus more. When you think about yourself, your current situation or just everyday life how do you let it flow? I know sometimes I can come off religious lol… just a firm believer. This time I want you to really dive deep into every detail small to large in your life.  For example, this morning I woke up. Layed in my bed for an extra 30 mins. I took a warm shower. Now this is when you get personal. I felt the water sink into my pores. I almost forgot I was in the shower ;). Dried off. I pampered myself with powder and shea butter, put on my clothes and started my day. Clean and fresh is always the go to! The point I'm making is… how you start your day is how you carry your day. Making time for yourself and your day is important. A wise man once said if we get caught up in the business o...

UnKnown

  Unknown Ania D. You were born. You are now among the living. We grow up. Simple story of life. Then you start to wonder how you got here. Have you ever had questions that the answer was unknown at the moment? I have those moments plenty of times. Can I be honest? When me and my ex broke up I was scared she was going to get pregnant and married. My thoughts are wild. We haven't spoken in a while, so I called. Me calling and asking her the question “are you pregnant?” The answer was a no. Do you know how many nights and days I was constantly worrying about another human being's actions or decisions? I'm not going to get into detail of all of the emotions I  went through but lets say it wasn't always pretty.       Sometimes we won't get our answers. Sometimes we won't know. Sometimes we don't need to know. Maybe she is and doesn't want to tell me. Is that for me to know? No. We are not in control. My other ex said that to me too. God is in control. I wa...
