Sharing is Caring...

I had a light day so I was able to reach out to a few sister girls who are building their brands. 

I'm no Guru but I enjoy marketing work. I know, haven't really done much on my Women's Org social media pages but my mind is always thinking. 

I watch my circle of people in GA support and build each other up. I remember my 1st year with my business KISS. A well connected client of mine reached out to me during the holiday season to sponsor a family. Who knew that small collaboration would lead to us becoming sister girls and Founders of Women Who Network. To date, we've sponsored, clothed, fed and rendered services to 100's of low income moms and displaced men and women. 

Are you having a hard time finding people to support your dream? My advice would be find a small group of like 3/4 individuals who you trust without any doubts. You trust their honesty and you trust their opinions. 

I find it so easy to support others because I remember the days of small beginnings. This summer has been slow but I've been blogging and connecting. 

As the seasons change and Fall is quickly approaching; I already have a list of Women entrepreneurs I'm excited to work with. 

You need a photographer? I have 1

You need a custom tutu? Got 1

You need to lose weight? I have the perfect coach 

What about a personal shopper, custom jewelry maker, a car detail, a new hair stylist? Yup, I know all the perfect people for You!

This evening my Loves, I challenge you to grow your network. You're only as strong as the circle your apart of. 

Know the worth of building each other up and covering your sister or brothers in prayer. You never know when you'll need them or their support..

I'm MY Brother & Sister's Keeper 

I'm a BEAST at Both....

Nothing Personal... 

Had I been warned that at 36 ( yup in 13 days) I'd be a single Momm, running a successful business, Co-Founder of a Women's Organization and soon-2-be Published Author, I would've laughed and said, " Not Me".  The way I envisioned my life and the way it has played out has been nothing less of a best selling biography. Full of lessons learned, tears, highs & lows, smiles and growth. Smiles: let me tell you why I smile. Chelia and Matthew bring me joy. I'm smiling and feeIing like crying at the same time lol. Smiling because I look at them and regardless of how they've entered this world, they bring excessive amounts of happiness. Crying because it's hard some days raising them alone but there's an unexplainable amount of strength and courage deposited into my life daily. I look at them and know, I cannot lose. I may quit( in my mind) but the way my reward is set up, I keep going. 

Some days, I have moments where I want to scream and yell because this is not how life was supposed to be. Then there are other moments where, I put on my Super Momm cape and keep it moving. Just like we groove to our fave song, which by the way I'm digging Jasmine Sullivan's "Masterpiece, Mona Lisa", we groove and maneuver through life. 

Yes it's hard but we can do it. 

I think of my business and the families we serve. The phrase, "we attract people who are like us", is extremely true. While KISS serve 2 parent families, a majority of our clients are single moms. Just like me, they are Rising and Grinding. There's no room for the weak when you're a Mom. 

Today, I challenge all of my readers, followers and mommy friends to keep going. Don't give up. Motherhood is personal but business never is. 

Keep striving and pushing. I've learned that as hard as it is, it's also rewarding. To know that MY experiences as a Momm are helping me to help other Momms through my Business is a gift that I never asked for but I appreciate it daily. 

Ok guys ( thank you to my guys who support my blogs) and gals, saddle up and let's tackle this Tuesday..

Motherhood Ain't for Sissies

Summer Breeze, makes me feel......

FREE!!!! There's something about the summer that makes me feel a certain way!!!!

Business wise, KISS has been beyond BUSY, a good busy though. Yes, still full of late nights and early mornings BUT I've learned how to make it work for me. I'm utilizing free time when I have it and I'm learning  that sometimes I just gotta let it roll off my back. I must admit, this am I was a little pee'd off but the MR always knows how to help me see the successes and pay less attention to what I deem as the failures.

For the last month or so, I've been toying with a lot of ideas for KISS. Theres nothing easy about a Nanny/Sitter Service. Clients will do 1 of 3 things:
Trust US with their kids
Trust US in their homes to provide services
Or
Trust ME enough to drop their kids to our KISS location in Sandy Springs. Business is based on the need and over the last 2 years ( will celebrate 2 years in September) the need has surely grown.

My thoughts are always, how can I grow KISS and how can I give back? I've encountered a number of clients who are single moms and because I was raised by a single Mother, I understand the struggle. There were plenty of days Mom worked 2 jobs to provide for us. I totally understand. And sometimes, because I understand so well I get caught up in my feelings.... Don't judge me.... If you  really know me, you'll understand that Women, Teens and Children are my heart.


Okay, okay.... So, I know you've noticed the beautiful KISS bracelet. Would you like to win it? Here's your chance. Purchase a $2.00 single raffle ticket or 5 for $5.00 and it will put you in the drawing for this amazing bracelet... I'm a firm believer of supporting those who have a dReam because someone believes in and supports me.

This bracelet qwas designed by the amazing Breana N. Rainge. She relocated to Atlanta after hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana. She has been here every since. She's great at what she does and if you'd like to check her out, go to Instagram and type in polaroid_geek. Let's help her build a dream while she helps KISS.

If you'd like to purchase raffle tickets you can purchase them from me, other clients and pay thru pay pal. The money raised from the raffles will go towards a sit for a needy family who cannot afford it.

It's always a good feeling to give back and in all things it takes a village to support each other. I thank each of you in advance. Thank you for supporting KISS when I didn't always believe in it but even more, Thanks for helping me to help others!!!!!!

Love,
Cheneka
