It's Never Too Late to Dream Again

Hey Beauties,

I was just thinking the other day how fast time seems to be flying by. Holidays, birthdays, anniversaries--they come around so quickly now that it feels like you barely catch your breath before the next one shows up.

That's just one of the many reasons why setting goals--and regularly checking in with them--is so important. Goals give us something to strive toward, something to look forward to. And tracking your progress not only shows you what you've accomplished but also shines a light on where you want to grow.

Now, let me share a fun fact about me: I am a serial collector of journals, notebooks, pens (and yes--planners). I have stacks of them tucked away, filled with sticky notes, index cards, and random papers full of thoughts, goals and big ideas.

Recently, I took a stroll down memory lane, flipping through years of saved notes....and something struck me. I've been writing and rewriting the same dreams and desires over and over at different stages of my life. Some I've accomplished. Others? Still waiting.

That showed me something powerful--these aren't just past goals. They're part of my life's blueprint. I truly believe that our dreams are divinely planted within us, and life is about uncovering them little by little, phase by phase.

And here's the truth I want you to hear loud and clear:

You are NEVER too old to chase your dreams.

In fact, the older you get, the more wisdom, discipline, and intentionality you bring to the process. That business idea? That passion project? That lifestyle you want to build? You're more ready than you think.

Women are now leading the way in entrepreneurship--we're building, creating, and showing up as powerful forces in business and beyond. If that's something you've been dreaming of, consider this your sign to start.

I'll never forget the impact of reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. That book reminded me of something I needed to remember:

What you're searching for is already within you.

So, here's what I want to leave you with today:

There's a reason and a purpose for your existence.

It's never too late to discover--or rediscover--your goals and dreams.

Set new goals regularly. Write them down. Plan for them.

Find someone who will hold you accountable and cheer you on.

And most importantly--give yourself permission to evolve.

**** Start thinking of goals not just as "to-do" items, but as intentions for the life you deeply envision.

You already have everything you need inside of you.

It's time to honor it.

Check In with Yourself, Sis: Making Space for Peace and Permission to Feel Good

Hey Beauties,

It's time to catch up---it's been a minute! I truly hope life is treating you well, especially with everything happening in our world right now.

Lately, I've been deep in decluttering mode--clearing my workspace, my closets, and just trying to create more space in my home (and my mind). It's wild how much stuff we collect just from day-to-day living. Running a business from home adds its own chaos and let me tell you--I've had to lean all the way into discipline and organization to keep it together.

Once I start a project, I go full throttle like I'm plugged into a battery. But after pushing too hard, I usually get the message--loud and clear--from my aching back and tired shoulders.

Recently, I decided to stop ignoring those signals and start checking in--with my body, my emotions, and my intuition. As women, we have this beautiful gift of intuition, but so often we override it, especially when life gets noisy. If you've been feeling off, overextended, or just out of touch with yourself, take this as your sign to pause.

We're constantly flooded with news, social media, and the world's chaos. Yes, stay informed---but also, unplug and get quiet sometimes. You need you.

About two weeks ago, I made a spiritual commitment to myself: to set aside time every day for devotion and prayer. No set time, no pressure--just the promise to show up daily. At first, it was just 10-15 minutes. But now? I'm spending an hour or more some days--and it feels effortless. I even added journaling, and honestly, it has changed my life.

Through this practice, I've gained so much clarity. Clarity about who I'm becoming, what matters most, and where I want to grow. I'm learning to set boundaries, say yes to what feeds me, and no to what drains me.

In the early days of my career, I hit the ground running--full of excitement and determination to build my business. I was doing everything on my own--no coach, no guide, no mentor. Just me fueled by passion and a vision. I had my website up, applied for a trademark, and started forming partnerships with other businesses. I even had a publicist getting my name out there, landing interviews and opportunities left and right.

At one point, I was processing 8 to 10 custom hair unit orders a day. That meant designing, creating, and shipping them out--daily. I kept that pace for a long time, not realizing the toll it was taking on me.

It wasn't until I finally sat down and took a breath that the truth hit me like a ton of bricks--I had been neglecting myself in the process. Since then, I've made a conscious decision to move with intention. I set realistic goals, give myself permission to pause, and make room in my schedule for rest, reflection, and peace.

So today, I want to pass that energy on to you.

Find a way to check in with yourself.

Create a little joy that belongs only to you. Pour into your soul the way you pour into everyone else.

Your emotional, mental, and spiritual health are invisible jewels--protect them. Nurture them. Honor them.

This week, ask yourself:

• How and how often do I give myself permission to enjoy life?

• What are the things that make me feel good while I'm doing them?

Give yourself space to answer with honesty and love.

With you in heart,

Tina
