"Anyone can dabble, but once you've made that commitment, your blood has that particular thing in it, and it's very hard for people to stop you."
On Friday be Lovely makeup was delivered! I cant believe it is already here. The work, dedication, passion and follow through have paid off. My passion for hurting people is a fire that has lived in me for a long time. Once I became apart of the stories is when my passion went to the next level....of no escape. Nothing at that point could stop me from surrounding myself with men, women and children that were hurting...especially because of some sort of sexual slavery.
There was a point in my journey that I knew for me, it was not enough to just know and be sad about it. You know its a passion when you talk about it and tears well up in your eyes because of how much it fires you up. Everyone has a passion....it doesnt matter what it is, if it is YOUR passion. Its something no one can take from you. Something that you would live and die for. If you dont think you have one....you do. Finding it can be a journey. But once you know.....you know.
There have been moments in my journey that have been hard. Times when I thought the emotions were too much or the effort that I gave forth was too hard. Not giving up became a fight. Knowing that if this was truly my passion that I would be changed because of it. I had moments when I wasnt physically doing something about this fight against sex trafficking, hurting people, and broken hearts...and that bothered me. Learning what I was capable of doing, was a battle of really knowing and believing that I could make my dreams (that didnt seem real) come true. That it was going to take courage, heart, people telling me I couldnt, and determination.
be Lovely is born. :) This idea was a dream of mine for 3 years. And I am finally now doing something about it. It was a lot of growth in my life. I know now that I wouldnt have been able to do it 3 years ago. The timing has been for a reason, preparing me for the good and the hard that come with creating and having your own business. If you know me, you know I HATE numbers. I'm all heart and no business, and that can be hard when you are trying to run your own business. As some of my business minded friends know. :) So a key thing for me has been listening and learning from people that have the strengths that I do not have. And so, be Lovely will survive because of the heart and the business.
Now, be Lovely is not only a way of life but a makeup line. And its coming soon! A few more details before the purchasing begins but....website is up, product has been ordered and arrived, people are aware, and now let the fun begin!
