JASI: 31 Years Young

As I write this blog, the clock strikes midnight. My house is quiet. My children are sleeping without a care in the world. It is officially June 19, 2019, my 31st birthday. As I write this blog, on my 31st birthday, I cry uncontrollably. I cry because Chapter 30 has been the hardest thus far and I made it by the grace of God. His grace is indeed sufficient. 

At 30,

I was diagnosed with severe depression, anxiety and PTSD

I started writing 

I became a single mom to 3

I became a divorcee

I relocated my home for the well-being of my children 

I thought I would lose my Mom when she was diagnosed with breast cancer but she kicked cancers ass in less than a year

I took a break from corporate America to heal mentally and emotionally 

I invested and rebranded my glam business from Jay C Makeup Artistry to Jasi Glams Me

I gained business 

I lost business

I gained more business

I expanded my blog

I was featured in three magazines

I devoted more time to my children

I traveled with my children and created new memories

I started to live my life the way I wanted to without being concerned about the opinions of others

I maintained a solid Sister Circle

I learned every action doesn’t deserve a reaction (Disclaimer: The Lord is still working on me so don’t try me)

I was featured in my very first podcast interview

I returned to corporate America 

I built a solid network of business relationships

I began writing my very first manuscript 

Chapter 30 was monumental. I thank God for everyone in my life. The number 30 means enlightenment followed by age 31 which means HOPE and the year of manifestation. At 30, I carried many burdens alone, not because I had to, but because I needed to in order to grow. At 30, I fell in love. At 30, I evolved from Jasmin into Jasi. I am Jasi, 31 years young.
