I don’t know who needs to hear this, but that only stops you from living. It only stops you fully immersing yourself because you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. It’s like not breathing now because you expect the air to run out. #bloglife #familyblog #momlife #relationshipquotes #relationships #love #jamaicanblogger #jamaica #shandeanreid #blogger

Some years ago, when it took me longer than most to finance and finish my degree, I spent an overwhelming amount of time feeling like an absolute failure. I told myself these things, and even worse, believed it.⁣ ⁣ Somehow, and mostly with my husband’s (then boyfriend) support, I managed to keep going til I finished. When I did, I didn’t feel accomplished. I only felt relief.⁣ ⁣ But years later I reflected. I spent longer because I chose to stop after a year of pursing a degree that would lock me in a career I didn’t want for more years than I wanted to fathom. Then it mostly went downhill from there. But that extra time I spent? I learned skills I’m using now to build my business and brand. That extra time caused me to meet my husband. The date on my marriage certificate is five months earlier than my degree.⁣ ⁣ And I would do it all again. The fear and anxiety that gripped me sitting in that second year class on the first day shook me. I wondered “What the fuck are you doing?! You DO NOT want to be an RN!” ⁣ ⁣ When the administrator said they would have to notify the nursing council so I needed to be sure, I said I was, though I scared crapless.⁣ ⁣ Sometimes we know what’s best for us but we’re afraid to go after it. Today, make the decision to craft the life YOU want. You’ve got to live it, noone else! ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Thanks for coming to my Saturday TED talk!⁣ #trusttheprocess #entrepreneurlife #author #writer #businessplanwriter #businessplanner #digitalstrategist #creativestrategist #blogger #jamaicanblogger #microinfluencer #jamaica #relaxedhair #familyblog #jamaican

God MUST have spent a little more time on you! ❤️ ⁣ ⁣ Oh, Tibs! Mommy and Daddy love you so much baby girl. While you know it already, I can’t wait for you to truly understand what that means. I can’t wait to see what parts of the world and life you’ll fall in love with, what passion will drive you. ⁣ ⁣ When she strokes our faces and say things like “I love you so much!”, my heart swells bigger than my chest! ⁣ ⁣ 😍😍😍 Sio is so used to my mess already. I call her Siobhán, Sio, Shiv, Shivy, Shibby, Tibby, Tibs, Putt-Putt, Tootsie Rae, Bug-Bug, Chunchie, Chunch and the list goes onnn... My favorite is, she answers to every single one. ⁣ ⁣ I can’t believe you’re almost 3! My sweet girl! #Sio #mychild #onepopnation #mionepop #babyreid #momlife #amotherslove #mommyblog #jamaicanblogger
