Day 6...Believe you WILL succeed!

Believe you will succeed.

Day 6: There is nothing like believing in yourself to create a successful reality. Give yourself the benefit of the doubt and believe that you will succeed at fulfilling your goals.

When I became a tattoo artist I wanted nothing more for a profession. I loved every aspect of the industry and the people that came along with it. After about 15 years I found myself pretty well known, judging all the competitions, hosting Miss Ink pageants, being a tattooed model and owning my own tattoo convention. I even got to do a little work with Playboy (non nude I'm not like that).

Soon after, my world came crashing down. I became separated and lost everything in my life. I trusted in someone that was supposed to be helping me and well, he stole all of my tattoo shop equipment. I mean THOUSANDS of $$$ worth. He then GAVE it away. I have nothing to open a shop with or to work. I don't have the money to replace it with.
I decide to start cooking. God gave me an incredible gift for food and why not make a living out of it!? I get offered a job as a head chef at MOD Cafe on the Island...I had already moved here, back to The Ville. I owe so much right now to one of my best friends EVER and my sister Joanna Wilson. She literally handed this to me. So while coming to lunch one day Joanna brings me a recipe she had in a magazine for Margarita cupcakes. I deliver them up to the DMV and suddenly...I have orders! From cupcakes and cake pops to cakes, to catering. God is so good!!!!

Today give yourself the benefit of the doubt. If I can make this big change at 34 years old...Anybody is capable of ANYTHING!!!
When you feel like your in a hole and dirt is constantly being shoveled over you and your just going to be buried alive...shake it off and step up...shake it off and step up. Soon you'll be out!!


"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'"
~Eleanor Roosevelt
