Believe it not, I’m a recovering procrastinator and being organized didn’t come naturally and I had to learn through trial and error.
It wasn’t until 2015 that I stopped letting everyone else tell me how to live life. I refused to conform to society and Southern expectations any longer.
But first, let’s go back a little further in time…
During this time, I was preparing to leave an abusive relationship while Owning/Operating a couple of coffee drive-thru’s.
I had to learn to get super organized in such a small space, that was also highly efficient. That included decluttering about 80% of my stuff to make it easier to leave. But turned out getting organized was therapeutic and gave me the control I needed when my life was chaotic.
When I wasn’t working, I’d hang out at my neighbor’s houses, helping them organize their home businesses and offices as an outlet of control when my world was chaotic.
My neighbors encouraged me to pursue this new passion as the next chapter of my life, so I gave it a try and here we are!
Through this new business transformation, I realized what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.
Since then, I decided to live the unconventional lifestyle and business on MY time and terms.
I never wanted kids, I’m not married, and I graduated college at 35. I prefer working part-time over Corporate in general and because of health issues. I prefer enjoying life now instead of only saving for “one day.”
Also, as of the end of 2020, for the first time in my life I have been financially independent!
Now, I only pursue opportunities that are aligned with my mission, vision, and values. Everything I do is intentional.
I have a structured, yet flexible schedule that works for me. I take trips up the mountain whenever I want and bask in the beauty around me. Or, I can simply hang out with my boyfriend and pet rabbit while gaming, watching movies, or going to try a new restaurant or coffee shop.
It’s a simple life, but one of gratitude for how far I’ve come. The best part? It’s the life I want, at this moment.
I always knew life could be cut short, but after my mom’s passing last year, that became another motivator to pursue the life I want without regret. You only die once, but you get to live everyday!
I want to make the most out of it and help as many people as possible while I’m here.
