LMLIM | 71 Ways to Get Out of a Rut

Ever been in a rut?  Yeah well I'm waving my well manicure hand in the air too.  Not right now particularly but hmmm maybe about a few months ago.  If I'd had this list it would have been awe inspiring instead of what I opted for....a junk food fest.  I won't list all 71 items I found in MORE magazine here because I'll feature some on my social media platforms that you should be following me on (IG and Twitter @curvymomager) shameless plug with smooth transition and future blog posts.

I Dare You Wednesday | Next Level

Make a contact today that will help you take your passion to the next level.  Phone call, email, text or reach out on social media taje care of that today!   You might just be surprised at the outcome.

Momager Dopeness | HOPE

Sometimes you don't know what you share that will give someone a message they need.  Last week I purchased a card deck titled "Hope".  These cards have different quotes and inspirational sayings about you guessed it, hope.  I decided to put one on my Instagram account today and I received a response from one of my followers that blew me a way.  Here is the quote...

Her comment to me was, "Thanks for posting this cause I'm struggling today with hope and faith."  WOW WOW WOW that little bitty post gave someone a glimpse of hope.  I really thank my follower for being transparent and sharing that comment.  Her strength surely encouraged someone that couldn't be that honest and "out" themselves publicly.   Pay it forward everyone!  Follow me on IG @curvymomager.

Momager Dopeness | Apple has sparked my creativity

This morning I'm feeling really motivated and inspired.  One reason is because one of my good friends at Marlin Page was hanging with Oprah Winfrey at her Detroit leg of her Live Your Best Life tour.  I mean really....Ms. O!  That was something pretty awesome.  Congrats Marlin and Oprah!  Then something else happened. 

Yesterday The Phenom was working on his article for the school newspaper.  It was on technology and he decided to talk about the new IPhone 6.  Part of his research was to watch the most recent Apple Live event.  I started watching with him and just shook my head at the magnitude they launch their products and it just got me motivated and charged to keep being CREATIVE.  If you haven't seen it check it out by clicking the video below and don't just salivate at the new IPhone but use it to get you inspired for you own launch. 

Keep growing,




Curvy Momager

Momager Dopeness | Boss Women Pray

I have to give major props to Jennifer from Pink Foundation and Single Mom Sage for adding me to her book club in July.  It was a book that not only changed the way I thought about my blogging business but my Curvy Momager brand overall.  It provided me with not only foresight but got me energized to start a major part of my brand that I've been putting off for over a year.

The book is Boss Women Pray by Kachelle Kelly.  You can order directly from her website or download on Amazon, which is what I did.  Each day Kachelle has offered a prayer and an inspiration writing on a topic pertaining to growing your business from a spiritual perspective.  At the end of each inspiration there are also biblical references to help provide more justification for the readings.

One of my favorite days was Day 26 Prayer for Effective Marketing & Massive Exposure.  A part of the prayer reads:

"I sometimes get discourage when it seems I will never have the chance to share my passion on a larger scale.  But then I remember that You are on my side and that You cause all things to happen in perfect timing."

What an amazing reminder of how we are not in control and God is!  Then one of the biblical references for that day was 1 Corinthians 2:9:

Get this book!  I can not tell you how excited I was to be invited to this book club.  You can even have one yourself.  Invite women that are on a journey in business or thinking about opening a business and join in on some conversation after each day.  You can even do it on social media or via text!  It will really help you #activateyourhustle.

Whatchu Doin Wednesday - Things are Blooming

It's March and things are really BLOOMING!  One of my social media girlfriends is doing something really cool for the month of March too!  She's calling it March in Bloom!  Every week @Mika_Joi (IG Handle) places a new floral arrangement in her home near her most creative space.  I absolutely love this idea and stopped by Von's and picked up my "bloom" for the week.  They are a pretty dyed spyder mum in orange and white - talk about being creative!  I hope you'll try her idea this month and let your creativity bloom.  Check out her YouTube vid on March in Bloom and be sure to subscribe for even more inspiration and creative things to do in your life.  Post pictures of your flowers on Twitter and IG and use the hashtag #MarchInBloom and don't forget to tag me (@curvymomager) and Mika!

Moment In Life Monday

I've been gone for a little while from blogging.  Between moving and getting set up with cable and internet it's just been hectic y'all but I'm back and READY!

The Phenom

The Mogul

Just a quick update...things have been absolutely great with me.  The kids have been doing well in school and The Phenom had an amazing basketball season.  He's moving on to track and travel ball so the schedule still remains full.  The Mogul has been on chill mode.  She's getting into social media (nerves on edge) and creating some new friendships at school.  Her next venture is sewing class.  Be on the look out for a Talia Loren Louise original soon.

As for me I have been working on creating some signature pieces for The Curvy Momager line.  It's so exciting and as soon as I can share more information with you guys I will.  So for this Moment In Life Monday things are G-O-O-D!

What have you guys been up to?  You know I love hearing your stories.  Oh before I forget I had a guest appearance on the Talk 2 Q Show last night and if you missed it you can listen by clicking on the player below.  Thanks so much Q, it's always bunches of laughs and good times when I'm on the show.  Looking forward to chatting again soon and keeping my status as the most visited guest. :).

Enjoy!

Whatchu Doin Wednesday | Inspire Yourself Cont'd

Done something great, really great or just plain ole fabulous lately?  Heck maybe you organized your closet and donated last years too big jeans to charity.  It's time to do some reflecting by reliving that moment.  Think of these questions and jot down the answers:

How did I achieve that success?
What skills did it take to reach that goal?
When I accomplished the goal it made me feel ___________?

Get to know the strengths you have in your toolbox.  You never know when you might need to pull it out again and SHINE!

Moment in Life Monday | Black Girls Rock

Living your moment in life is what Black Girls Rock is all about.  I didn't get the chance to watch all of the show but did see this video clip from Queen Latifah.  She is certainly a BGR and inspires so many people to be their best selves.  A friend of mine actually sent this clip to me and I'm so grateful that she did.  Even the Curvy Momager needs some encouragement every now and again.  Thanks Meleisha.  Click the link below and enjoy the clip.
