Blou Bare It All: Why Are We Our Worse Enemy!

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
