Change – Victoria Lanier

Endings and Beginnings

This year has been a litany of events that I’ve made a conscious effort not to discuss and/or debate on. In the words of a famous forgetful named Dora, “Keep swimming.” I have high hopes for this 4th quarter of 2018. Goals include: Being more consistent in my writing schedule. I have entirely too manyContinue reading “Endings and Beginnings”

You have a choice

I often tell my clients that more other than not, we do things we don’t like. Things like taking a bath, doing laundry, washing dishes and going to work on Monday. Despite our feelings we do it even though it’s recurring and only maintains a standard of living. Do you wonder why you can’t doContinue reading “You have a choice”

Open The Door

My new kitchen is much smaller than my last one and even though I deliberately moved into a smaller space to force myself to downsize, it has been an emotional process to have to let go of things. I constantly have to remind myself of my WHY. My spices have been just sitting on myContinue reading “Open The Door”

Do the Work

I’m the queen of distraction through service. It’s easy to focus on building others up and ignore yourself. If ever there was a time to put time into self, it’s now. Seasons are master for a reason. It is not meant for us to manipulate and attempt to change to fit our personal agendas. LifeContinue reading “Do the Work”

My Field of Dreams

I’m been a bit low key on social media for a minute after my last event. It was a humbling event for me because it made me really ask myself “WTF are you doing?” Like seriously, I tend to have all these ideas and sometimes that makes unsure on which ones to pull the triggerContinue reading “My Field of Dreams”

New Year, Eternal Love

I’m officially a year older and while I don’t look much different, I feel a shift in my thoughts and energy. For the good. I took my annual week off to do whatever I wanted and did so with some incident but none worth mentioning. I spent some time visiting the state of Arkansas relaxingContinue reading “New Year, Eternal Love”

The Audacity

Social Media has a way of making cowards feel like a lion. People say things to strangers they wouldn’t dare say in their face. I also think following others and seeing them on your timeline breeds a sense of familiarity. Problem is unless you know people in real life, you don’t really know anything otherContinue reading “The Audacity”

Busting Loose

I love to see the pictures of James Baldwin dancing with pure abandonment. Despite all the obstacles going on during this time in history, he always was ready to hit the dance floor when the music was right. Shout out to Lorraine Hansberry and Maya Angelou for not letting him dance alone! Let's let JimmieContinue reading “Busting Loose”

Let’s Move Something.

#shouldprobablybeablog #whateveryougonnareadme #epiphanypost Thing about me is I’m an idea generator (they gush out of me at a pretty steady flow) plus I’m trained to see holes (this tends to cause the direction of my flow to switch) but I also know Im not going to live forever so I can’t save the world, IContinue reading “Let’s Move Something.”
