So it’s been
a long time since I have blogged and I am so excited to say that I am back like
I never left!!!! Yes, that’s right I’m back! I started out blogging last year
around May when I dropped my debut novel 4 Better or 4 Worse which if you
haven’t read it you should do so NOW! I’m currently working on part 2 which
will be on Amazon in January of 2014!!! But anyway I decided to come back to
the blogging world and broaden my horizon. I have been spending a lot of time
just simply trying to find myself outside of the obvious likes and
dislikes….yeah I’m a mother, a author, hard worker, dedicated friend and so
much more but what is it that I like? That has been my ultimate question and
although I can’t pin point one answer I have come up with many! So as I’m on
this journey of life and a path to follow one of my many dreams and accomplish
a important goal of mine I’m going to keep my readers up to date with me!
Meaning I’m going to bare it ALL…yes I’m going to let you guys know my day to
day struggles and some of the obstacles that I am going through as well as the
days that I am down right pissed off!!! So if you looking for anything else
sorry but I can’t help you. I also want you guys to write me and let me know
what’s going on in your life and if you need advice reach out or if you have
advice fill me in. I’m not perfect but none of us are and I know that some of
my favorite celebs I be like damn….I want to know what makes them like me. What
makes them understand how I’m feeling at some point? So continue reading and
let me know what you guys are thinking or how you can relate.
Our Biggest Enemy Is the One Staring Back At Us In The Mirror
Ever had those days where you just
feeling like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders? Like you have
so many things that you want to accomplish but not only do you not know what
steps to take but you’re feeling like you just don’t know how the hell YOU can
do it? Or how you “simple” ole you can be that? Well in so many ways I have
been that girl….doubting myself because the answer is not there spelled out for
me. For instance, when I first wrote 4 Better or 4 Worse I rewrote it numerous
times….I would literally be at work thinking of the next chapter in my novel. I
started writing when I was in seventh grade and my imagination has been on
overload for a very long time. I stopped writing as much during my teenage
years but old habits die hard. With pen and paper I feel like that is me making
magic. I feel like I’m doing great things. I’m not like every other writer but
in all actuality I don’t want to be because we all have a different voice and
style. So when my cousin talked to me about self-publishing I doubted
myself….will anyone read what I’m writing? Will they like it? What if I get
rejected? Well…..that was a risk that I had to take and I’m so glad that I did.
I have had the overwhelming feeling of my readers tweeting and messaging me
telling me how much they enjoyed my books and are really looking forward to
part two to each one. So what’s holding me back? I’m learning that I have to
give 1000% because without it you have nothing. If you don’t believe in
yourself you can’t expect anyone else to. Your dreams are your dreams and
that’s why you have to work hard at making them YOUR reality! I have felt some
type of way because I have “friends” who haven’t read or supported my work but
now I don’t cry over spilled milk….I support those who support me and keep it
moving. When you grow up and learn that you’re different from the average
person you stray….they don’t understand your passion. Most people are content
and I learned that when you step outside the box and do something out of THEIR
ordinary they won’t support you until they see your success. So many people ask
why I don’t do this or where I be and the best thing I know is to say getting
myself right…I have to do it. If not for myself then to show my baby that even
in this day and age….it’s more things to life than what we see and you can be
whatever your heart desires. So I say that to say this…..only I can make that
first move and that goes for us all. We can’t sit around and keep putting
things off for tomorrow when if we start today we will be that much
closer…..I’m doing me and I don’t care who’s not with it!!!! So if you like
please catch me next Wednesday! Blogs will drop every Wednesday at 9pm Central Time and
if I’m doing more than one that week I will let you guys know!!! Like I said
before write me, message me, follow me on IG @blou_bliss Twitter @bloubliss22
and Facebook Blou Bliss!!! Remember God is love and our biggest enemy is the
one staring at us in the mirror!!! #Bloubareitall #insidemyheart
