Alpha | What is Jesslosophy? Pt. 1 Q&A

I wasn't quite sure how I would formally introduce myself, so I decided to go with a good ol' Q&A.  You can't go wrong with a Q&A.  If you've noticed it's titled Pt. 1, because I intend to post a video as Pt. 2 [Lord's willing] by the end of this week.  Leave any additional questions and/or comments you have in the comment section or send me an email.  Happy reading!

Q: Why did you decide to start blogging?
A: Like most other bloggers, blogging is my creative outlet.  It's a way for me to  perfect my craft, share my thoughts, [faux]tography, videos and overall document my life.  Lord's willing I'll inspire some along the way.

Q: Who inspires you?
A: Jesus inspires me daily.  I'm also inspired by others including my mom, grandmother, sister [who I often refer to as sissy], my dear friend/sister/mentor Shelita Lee and other women [and men] that are passionate about utilizing their gifts and talents for the greater good of society.

Q: What will you be blogging about?
A:  92% of the time I beat a mean head of kinks and curls, but this is not, and I REPEAT this is not a natural hair blog.  As if we need another… Am I saying that I will never talk about hair?  Not at all!  I'm simply saying that Jesslosophy is not dedicated to natural hair care or any one topic.  I will cover a vast array of topics including but not limited to health, fashion, spirituality, food, fun and travel.  In a nutshell, here you will find just about anything especially when I'm experiencing the opposite of writer's block.

Q:  What do you hope to gain from blogging?
A:  A J-O-B!  No, I'm kidding or am I?! [insert chuckle]  Not to sound cliche' but, I simply want to inspire others to do whatever it is they've dreamt about doing.  Recently I've learned that no one wants to take a chance on someone who has no experience.  If no one is offering you a paid position, CREATE YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE.  If you're passionate about what you do and you're good at it, sooner than later the right one will notice. Remember to exersise the 5 Ps:  Prayer, passion, productivity, persistence, and great presentation and you can't go wrong.  Thank me later!

Q:  Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
A:  In five years I'll be exceeding the world's expectations as a woman and a brown woman at that [hmph].  That statement is pretty vague, but it speaks volumes.  Stay tuned to find out more ;).

Scratching the Itch

I've been going back and forth for a little over a year about starting my own blog.  I'd say most of that indecisiveness came from over analyzing the situation which I do way too often.  I wondered who my potential readers would be,  what audience I would target (if any),  would I commit to posting at least once a week, etc.   Considering I've recently recognized that I have commitment issues the latter of those started to outweigh most other concerns.  Today I thanked God for waking me up, checked my phone as I usually do and then thought hmmm... I've been doing way too much thinking and not enough doing.   If I enjoy writing why not share my thoughts?  Today I'm done with the ways of those intending to be bloggers and scratching the itch.  I'm officially a blogger :)
