letting go.

“Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go.” — Herman Hesse

This quote pretty sums up how i've been feeling recently. being able to let go and move on from the past requires a new strength. a strength i had to pray about. i've realized we continue to hold on to things, people, etc because its comfortable to be there. However, comfortable doesnt always equal progress. nobody REALLY wants to go out of their comfort zone but it is sometimes required to move along and get to what lies ahead. it may take pain, sweat, and tears. yet one day at a time it will become easier and easier. 

we all have to realize that there is a season for everything. holding to that thing or person past its season sometimes bring more harm than good. accepting that the season is over helps with the moving on process.

while moving on, learning to assess that situation so you make better choices for the next time. because we cant expect to do the same things and expect a different result because thats insanity. 


each day gets better and better. shoutout to my peeps who have checked in. i'm letting go.  :)

my brand.

Business Cards :)

i've been working on my personal brand as a way to enter this social media arena i am so passionate about. brainstorming blog topics, working on my site, getting my domain name, etc. i'm proud to say two steps closer to solidifying my online presence. firstly, i've designed my business cards. checking out some quotes and hopefully should have them printed next week. but i gotta get my domain name before i hand them out, which is next on the personal branding to-do list.

secondly, ive launched my web portfolio after much procrastination of my part. check it out--> www.cargocollective.com/ashleelindo I've been looking at it all day today. Just tad a bit proud.
 
i've been going back and forth on whether to move to tumblr. i've decided that i'm going to move design and social media posts to wordpress so i can be more familiar with the platform in preparation for my future social media job. then keep this as my stream of consciousness/ diary. so when i create that wordpress blog, make sure you all follow that as well...please and thank you. :)

so all i have to-do is: purchase my domain name, print business cards, start and name wordpress blog, figure out a way to link all of these sites to a common area. Not too much.

so as you can see, i've been busy. and its going to get busier. with various birthdays, mine included, in the near future. i'm about to add party planner to my list of titles as well.
