Greetings All,

It has been a while since I have blogged last. I have had some extraordinary experiences between now and then. My newest venture is continuing to build our Hello Beautiful By Shannon Ayers’ platform to encourage women and girls to understand their beauty by design and know their worth. In order to do this, I had to do some soul searching and introspection to understand who Shannon was and who she has become.

I have been fortunate enough to successfully interview several high profile individuals speaking with them about a recurring theme of, “Defining Beauty…Loving Me”. What I aim to show is that no matter what or who a woman is, we all share a kindred vulnerability that often time sits at the mercy of our life’s experiences. It is my hope and prayer that through Hello Beautiful By Shannon Ayers, we will discover and embrace together our value, worth and truest beauty by design.

As women, we share experiences that no man can comprehend. I know personally what it feels like to go into that secret place of joy and pain that often conflict with the ebbs and flows of life. I can remember making a lot of dumb decisions in the name of seeking love, acceptance and value. I made a complete and utter fool of myself behind men who were not worth it and some so called friends who meant me no good. How many of you can relate? I am fortunate to now have a husband, children and others who love me unconditionally. However, I have come to realize that the ONE who loves me best was and is always the KEY to understanding and embracing my true happiness, value and beauty by design.

From my early years all the way through college, I vested much time and energy into people who were broken themselves and could not give me that which I truly desired…love, acceptance and value. I remember familial woes, friends and boyfriends along the way that either let me down or I let them down. I entrusted the safe keeping of my heart and happiness in the hands of others instead of God and myself. One way or another, I was never satisfied due to my own incompleteness and lack of ability to insist on love the way I deserve even from myself. I am sure many would have their own opinions of what I lacked for them as well. By no means is this an indictment on my family, friends or ex-boyfriends. Some were jerks and some were decent but all were at some point dealing with their own shortcomings and insecurities.

What I have learned over the years through my many mistakes and bad connection choices is that it really is okay to love myself for who God designed me to be, flaws and all. One of my biggest weaknesses when it came to relationships with family, friends or boyfriends was that I often put their happiness above my own and adopted negative and/or judgmental opinions of me as fact.

With much introspection and many of life’s lessons of learning how to love me, I have come to the conclusion that I am indeed beautiful by design. Therefore, for every bad relationship, family troubles or mistaken connections, I am thankful for these lessons that led me to this place of helping other women and girls make their own discoveries of their value and beauty. I do not, by any means, consider myself to have arrived. This is a continual learning adventure that is now on the right course of discovering all the greatness that is within me and you. Additionally, what I do know now that I did not know then, is that I am worth the trouble and so are you.

Therefore, I say to “US”, HELLO BEAUTIFUL and welcome to understanding who we were designed to be.

Blessings and Inspiration,

Last year I was going through several ups and downs. I was working on a new program on my day job with several obstacles (folk) in my way.

Fast forward to today, the experience I gained from working that new program is what qualified me for my current position. Halleluiah!!!! While I didn’t see it at the time, God was preparing me for future blessings of which I now enjoy. I would not have imagined myself in this place or space a year ago. This is far greater than my previous expectations and prayers.

Have you ever worked so hard for something that appeared to be unobtainable? I endured sabotage, backstabbing, and a whole host of other issues on my job which was a bit stressful to say the least. I had gone through a very dark moment where I felt like I was the hamster in the spinning wheel just going in circles never to reach a destination. BUT GOD!!!!! Those that are closest to me were very encouraging. I had to pray really hard to stay sane.

Now I sit looking BACK and REFLECT on that time and situation now knowing that God had a plan for me all along. I had many moments when I just wanted to cry feeling so defeated and abandoned. BUT GOD!!!

I say to all of you that are currently going through your own situation feeling like there is no end, God has already worked it out! You just have to go through your season to learn and grow.

Just know that there is an end and you will look back on this moment at some point and say BUT GOD!!!! Going through is exactly just that, going through. That means you are not taking residence in your sorrow, misery or pain. Payday is coming after while!!!!

I want to thank you for reading my posts and I pray to continue to inspire and encourage you just as you have inspired and encouraged me.

Blessings and Inspiration,

The Power To Let It Go Part 2

Now, let’s deal with the emotional/mental:

How many of you are being held hostage to the past or are just stuck in unhealthy relationships that serve no value but instead contribute greatly to your misery? How many relationships do you have that you are afraid to just let go?

We have to be the owners of our own heart and not give it away so easily to where it is unrecognizable when we get it back if we ever get it back. Sometimes it may be those close to us like a mother, father, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, cousin…or maybe it’s a best friend, boyfriend or girlfriend. Some are even on their second, third, fourth, etc. marriages that give away a piece of themselves with each relationship constantly looking for love and validation in others.

The bottom line is that you get to decide the value of your heart and your own worth. Letting go does not always mean these people cannot be a part of your life. What it does mean is that you have to relinquish their power over your happiness and take control of your own destiny relying solely and completely on the Lord for guidance and direction. I know what heartbreak feels like to be rejected, lied to, cheated on etc. It doesn’t feel good at all. It brings you to a place of feeling like there is no recovery. In the mean time, the heart-holder appears to be going on with their lives not giving you a second thought. You allow yourself to be consumed with why other people do to you WHAT YOU ALLOW!

So, once you collect yourself and realize that you are worth more than what you rent yourself out for regardless of the relationship type, you must then LET IT GO! You have more power than what you exercise over your heart, your life and your surroundings.

So I say to you this day, LET IT GO!!! Take control, pray and do a lot of soul searching for what should be important in your life and the rest of that mess, just LET IT GO! “You can do it!”, is not just a cliche’ but it is a command that I will change to say, You must do it! So get’er done!!!!

STANDING ON NEW LEGS

I remember watching the news right before the BOSTON MARATHON recently. CELESTE CORCORAN was being interview as having been one of the victims of the marathon’s bombing on last year. While the interview was intriguing within itself, it was something she said that struck me at my core. She made the statement that she was “STANDING ON NEW LEGS”.What I found so profound about that statement was that she did not seem to be referring to her artificial LEGS that she now wears due to losing both her LEGS in the bombing. It is more than obvious that this tragedy has forever changed her life in ways she probably would have never imagined. What was most striking to me was her RESILIENCY. I have no doubt that behind closed doors she has experienced both physical and mental anguish over this horrific event. However, she appeared more DETERMINED than ever not to give the enemy the satisfaction of keeping her down. STANDING ON NEW LEGS took on a whole new meaning.

We all have heard that there is always someone much worse off than our present troubles. This is indeed true! We worry over a pimple, a bad hair day or even being overweight. These are issues we can always OVERCOME. However, what do we do when we lose an appendage, an eye, or a loved one? We often take for granted waking up every morning and spending the day as we had mapped out in our mind or just nonchalantly winging it as if tomorrow will be here again. How many of us can recover from tragic life changing events just as people who are victims of such heinous crimes as the BOSTON MARATHON BOMBING?

When I heard those words from CELESTE, it immediately gave me NEW LIFE realizing that I too can stand on new LEGS. While my ephiphany is not to be compared to having literally lost any limbs, I realized that I do not have to be a product of circumstance but instead be a circumstance of great product. What that means is that no matter what tragedies LIFE deal to us, we have the option of wallowing in self pity and doubt or use the situation to our benefit by LEARNING A LESSON, CHANGING COURSE, removing some people from our life, or just simply changing a situation to a positive one.

So whenever you doubt yourself, your abilities and capabilities or self worth, remember CELESTE and the other victims of the BOSTON MARATHON BOMBING that refused to allow a situation to define their happiness but instead created a BRAND NEW LIFE and reality that can still be just as rewarding and fulfilling if not more than before. Are you with me? I dare you to STAND UP ON A NEW SET OF LEGS and CHANGE the negative prognosis of your present life and situation to a POSITIVE JOURNEY of RESILIENCY that will open up all POSSIBILITIES OF WONDER that you have yet to encounter…but in due time. It really is as simple as a choice. What’s yours?

Blessings and Inspiration,
