What I've Been Up To

What's up family!

Thank you for tuning with me again. As always, I'm so grateful for y'all giving me some of y'alls time (I know everybody is oh so busy right now).

I just thought to check in with everyone to say what I've been up to.

It's been a while since I wrote a post, back in the early days of corona and we still at the house unfortunately. Well let me take that back because we're FORTUNATE to have a house to be in at a time when so many people don't. 

But since then it's been a lot of the same stuff but some new stuff too and y'all my family I got to keep all updated. 

New Love

So, I got me a new man y'alllll! But no for real, I found someone who I actually enjoy (iykyk). In my previous post, I mentioned me getting my feelings hurt my somebody and girl we not even about to talk about it. All jokes aside, that was a really hard time for me and it made me look at myself a little differently, thankfully not in a bad way. But that's in the past, back to my new new. We have fun together and spend so much time together (both have quality time as a primary love language). He's good with my girls and my cat (I got to introduce y'all to Roger) and basically has been a shiny light to me in these times of darkness. I don't have to say too much, but shout out to him! He knows who he is.

New Money

Besides me picking up a second job and lord knows I'm tired but grateful, I've decided to venture in to some business ideas I've been holding on to for some time now. The first one is real estate which honestly, I don't know much about and we know that I'm a fourth year first generation college student so I'm not rolling in the dough. But I decided to step out on faith and try my hand at buying vacant properties. How I'm going about it just looking for houses in my neighborhood or my daily route that I haven't seen anybody in or that look a little abandoned, finding some information about the property on county tax rolls and sending a handwritten letter to the owner. So far I haven't heard back from anyone, but hey closed mouths don't get fed and the worse thing they can say is no. 

My other venture is opening an e-commerce boutique called HVN on ERTH. Now this is something I've been talking about for actual years and I don't know why I love to play with my own potential like I do. I'll be launching on my birthday (September 3) and my focus right now will be on shoes and bags, but I do see custom wear and swimsuits in the near future (wink wink). So please stay tuned for that and support me because I'm black. TUH!

 

New Life

I don't know if I ever told y'all this but I am low key obsessed with astrology. I've even referred to myself as a zodiac whore. But really, I've been using it as a tool for my self-exploration and discovery. Identity is a big thing to me so astrology has been helping me uncover who I am to myself and the world. Recently, there was a lunar eclipse (sometime in July). I follow a lot of astrology type pages on Twitter (zodiac ho I told y'all) and they were all talking about the significance of the eclipse. Something about it opening a new chapter in life and closing a previous one, yadda yadda. Well, it resonated with me so much because that previous week I had been changing all my passwords to NewLife2020! (don't worry I changed them again) because that's what I wanted for myself. I was in the midst of a depression, BROKE, tired of my job, tired of my house, tired of myself. Just tired, chile. And I decided that I wanted a new life, then I saw all these tweets about how the eclipse was symbolizing that or bringing that in and I just saw it as confirmation. 

Let me just go ahead and say that it was just that. Me and my Pooh became official a couple of days later. I mean I knew it was coming I just didn't know so soon. I started working on my business ventures and doing yoga and meditating and affirmations and goal setting. Basically, started doing things that I wanted to be already but had been so stagnated on. I'm finding my peace, my purpose, my perseverance. Being confident in myself, learning and proving to myself that I can have whatever I want. I felt like this is the beginning to the new life that I was looking for. 

But I say all that to say this: this is the only life you have to live, so live it. You're never too young to die, so you can't be too old to live!

Introduction: Welcome to my Life

Well hello there. If you're reading this that means you made it to my blog and for that I want to say thank you so much! It also means that you are now my family, so it's nice to see meet you cousin! So after months and months of thinking about starting a blog, I've finally done it and I'm glad you're here to witness it. But first, let me briefly introduce myself. My name is Alexis Gant.

I am a mother to two beautiful girls, Heaven and Malia. I'm pretty much a loner even though I live for social interaction (probably cause I'm on some different wavelengths). I am passionate about education and the criminal justice system and hope to one day become a defense attorney. I believe in love and s...

Winter Arc 2024: The Mommy Mogul Rebrand

Welcome back to the blog cousins! First, I want to offer you a scripture, Romans 12:2 "Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think." I have a saying, "Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your reality." Maybe it's not my saying, but it's something that I say and shares the sentiment of Romans 12:2. You can change your life by changing your thoughts. That brings me to the topic of today's blog post. Where am I writing from you ask, my JOB, which I hope to only have for a week longer. What I told you last time, the best thing a job can do for me is what? OKAY! Our completed habit tracker Today, I want to share a challenge that my twin best friends and I are embarking on together. We saw it on TikTok and immediately hopped on the idea. Titled The Winter Arc , the challenge required each of us to pick three pillars where we wanted to create different habits. We then had to identify thr...

The Message of Amos 9:13: Change is Here

Welcome back, family! I'm so glad to be back writing for y'all. Forgive me in advance, because I admit, I feel a bit all over the place and writing always helps me ground myself.  So, this morning, I was following my regular routine. Wake and garden (iykyk), scroll on social media, pack lunches, and start my day hopefully in a positive direction.  I don't know if I told y'all, but I've been tapping into my spiritual gifts more, one of which is clairaudience. Let's hold onto that for a bit. Back to my morning routine, which needs major revision, but I digress. As I'm scrolling, I keep seeing Amos 9:13. I mean KEEP seeing it, from Twitter to TikTok. I saw about 3 videos, made on different dates, with the same message: "It's going to happen faster than you thought." I won't need months or even weeks. The change in my life I'm seeking is happening now. It's been happening for months - probably years.  Now, I don't claim to be holier...
