The Picture
When I was just starting out, I worked with so many different computers and phones. I wanted to stay in touch, work, and I wanted to be fast! What you are looking at is my Sony collection that I work with. Doing all the writing, looking for pictures to go with my writing, and using my phones—you can imagine what my day is like. Most times I write, I am always writing something that happened or something in my head. I always use my phones (I use my Samsung phone as well) to make the calls I need or want to make. The picture that you are looking at is real and I do use the computer, iPads, and phones. When I took the photo of the items in sets (Samsung and Sony) I was thinking, "Yeah, I will use it on my Instagram and Pinterest." Then I thought to myself that maybe I would speak about it here and that brings me to writing it to you. Man, looking at them off doesn't seem as intimidating as when they are on and running programs. When I took the photo of this, I remembered how each one felt to use. The buttons on the iPads and phones seem to be the same. The keys on the computer seem to be harder to use (you ever get that?). I do marvel at the sites that I come across on all mostly because they are information sites. I love getting information especially information on how to do something. I find that the phones are better because you can carry them everywhere you go. The computers are good if you are going to sit or stand for a while in one place. Both are really fast as you can type and both get you what you want in the end. In the end, we know that the specs on the computer and phones are what people should be looking for. Sometimes people just want the look and feel of them but me, I want it for work. So sometimes Sony and other times Samsung—both of them are great!

Who Are You
Who Are You? Is that a question that you have asked yourself? I have, and the answers are not always the ones that I want to hear. If you have asked this question and created an answer that best suits your taste then you are screwed. The way to answer the question is by being more than honest with yourself. It may hurt at first but it can help in the long run. Have you ever wondered why some people flourish and others do not? It is because they dig inside themselves before they attempt to do anything. Whether it is work, play, or just making friends, they have decided to be the best versions of themselves that they can be. Yeah, it is harsh to think you may not be the best version of who you can be. To do that, you have to go all the way back to when you were young and wide-eyed, when you decided who you were, what you wanted, and how you wanted to get it.

The Entrepreneur Lifestyle
Waking up in the morning is a blessing because no day is promised to us. Every day that I wake up I feel great and I love that. Being an entrepreneur has given me a chance to find out what it is like to run my own little work world. From the moment I get up until the time that I go to bed, I am in control of my life! I start each day with a few personal moments but then I start my workday. There is always a movie on when I write my itinerary for the day. I tend to loosen up when I watch a movie first, so I do. It is then onto business: petty cash check, phone calls on projects, email returns, app usage and what projects to start or finish. I always try to remember to do the most important project first then, but that does not always happen. There are many times when I will choose the project not finished from the day before instead. Being in control of what I want and need to do is a thrill for me. It was not always like this as I have worked for others companies.

The Author in Me
First off, I have to say my world is in parts (family, friendships and work) and each part is very important to who I am. Defining who I am is complicated to me because I am a little of everyone in the lifestyle that I lead. Woman, daughter, wife, mother, entrepreneur, author and so on are just some of the titles. I wake up in the morning, lay in bed and listen to the bird's chirp while I meditate. I get up, kiss my mate. and go off into the kitchen to make his lunch for work. I have gotten into the habit of checking out a horror movie before working for the day. I always drink my coffee and write my notes because I map out my workdays to get the most out of the day. I like hardcore work as in phone calls, filing data, building websites, creating ads for people, and even doing the business flatlays. I still, however, found that I had something to say and wanted to express it to help people or just entertain them.
