Mondays

Monday’s will always be my favorite day. As an entrepreneur, sometimes it can feel like I’m always falling behind. However, Mondays are always a fresh start that I’m grateful for in between the hustle. The energy of a new week is contagious and I always try to capture that and really be as productive as possible 💕 – Alitzah Stinson

When an Angel Walked In

It was a bittersweet day. After having my new business broken into for the second time in just a few short months, it felt like another setback. Community leaders and the police major came out to my store to show support and encourage me to stay and build my business in the city.

Shortly after, I received the $2,077.36 bill for the glass replacement, and my heart sank. As I was about to offer my credit card for payment—choosing that bill instead of paying my rent—an angel walked into my shop and said, “I got it.”

I had resolved that I was done with the business, but when he paid the bill in full, I started crying and knew I had to keep going. I shared the amazing news on my social media account and respected the generous man’s wish to remain anonymous. His act of kindness made all the difference.

The Power of Self-Belief

“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

Connection

people want connection, but they don’t want to be inconvenienced by it. We say we’re lonely and that we want deeper relationships. But are we actually willing to do the work that connection requires? Or are we waiting for relationships to show up perfectly, on our terms, without disrupting our routines?
