Welcome to my first blog post for blyssombyshapel.com !!!! I am extremely excited and a wee bit nervous in taking this journey. However I am learning, always to be comfortable in who I am.
After so many people telling me I should centralize my knowledge and experience on things, I decided to create this experience. I am NO expert. I am not perfect.
In fact I often pride myself as more of a student than teacher. This space is mine.
Let me repeat that a little more solidly. This space is mine. What I decide to share and how I choose to interact is up to me entirely.
blyssom began as an idea almost 4 years ago when I was going through a tough time(super low) (still am, still do) and I was high on life. The idea of blyssom is a playful, intentional transformation on the words blossom and bliss.
I envision myself as lotus. Pushing through the mud and reaching for the beautiful things in life. I have had a rough and blessed life. Seriously.
It took me a long time to realize the mud is necessary for me and my life path. I embrace it ...most times. Other times, I find myself asking the Most High..."You sure about this burden because it is a bit too much too bear?" (*SN: I do question my GOD often. Those conversations root my faith...more on that later..)
It has been the good. The strange, faint yet bright light that has pulled me out of so many situations. The happiness that is made of many elements: be it friends, family, faith and/or food, etc. It has been my blyss in life. Not the ordinary bliss but blyss. This blyss has allowed me to grown and find peace in circumstances in which I should have crumbled and broken down completely.
But here I is. Sitting here in the Bronx, on a Lunch Break beginning to share many thing with you. Hoping that blyssom inspires you on days and moments when you're low, you're high or both.
Through my blog posts, I will create tags for my products, services, musings, and I'll reveal more about me...the real me. (*Plays Drake's Real Her*) Who knows what else this can grow into....
All in all I plan to be 1000% authentic. And that is it for the first blog post on blyssombyshapel.com
Peace and Blessings,
a girl turned woman named Shapel.
