The Art of Taking Risk
No risk no reward. It's important to self motivate and invest in what you are passionate about. Often times, I feel discouraged and seek reassurance from others. I'm not going to lie, this is a mental struggle for me however, it is such an unfair way of thinking! Seeking assurance from people is unfair to them as well as yourself. Why can't you just believe in yourself enough to do what you feel in your heart with confidence? Let go and let God right? I am guilty of getting caught up in social media, hoping and wishing I could have enormous sales overnight from my post. Due to the fact social media is over saturated and more so a popularity contest, entrepreneurs have to really put themselves out there and take risk. The face to face approach is most effective in the long run because this gives you a chance to meet your potential customer. If I am hesitant to purchase jewelry online then I'm pretty certain most people are too. Therefore, I rented a space at The Market NYC in Brooklyn so that I can no longer hide behind the internet with my product. As a first time vendor I was able to make back what the booth cost but not much more than that. Not to be discouraged I know this is something you have to constantly do in order to see what people are looking for, gain feedback and have a presence. You have to spend money to make money. Work at your own pace and never compare your business to another. Here are a few photos from my pop-up shop.

Building Relationships
I had the pleasure of getting in touch with NBC Host of Open House NYC and LXTV Sara Gore and her stylist Kat Rappaport. They are very sweet down to earth ladies. Here is Sara wearing her Regal Sovereign fishbone earrings and bracelet on this mornings taping of LXTV.

The Art of Friendship
My friend Shauna Khorrami a news anchor in Las Vegas wore jewelry I handmade for her today on her morning show. It's one of a kind like she is. Shauna and I met a few years ago when I was assisting one of the top News Agents as I did not want to become an agent I decided to leave my 5 year invested career to pursue fashion. I have been making jewelry since 1998. I can say I have made it earlier on as a child when I got little bead kits for my birthday or Christmas. Shauna and I would talk about how we wanted to be successful in all we love doing and vowed that whoever made it first would help the other out. Well, she has kept her word and I now have more to add to my press-kit. Big thank you to you Shauna! Three years ago she and I were at Fred Segal in LA and she pushed me to talking to the associates and getting the buyers info as she insisted they need to have my jewelry in their store. LOL

The Art of Balance.
After talking with friends about life and being a working mom, I have to admit it is quite a challenge to do it all. I find myself drifting a lot from one thing to another...my focus needs to be corrected. I allowed doubt and excuses to put things off but there is no room for that in my life. I am surrounded by people that encourage me and set great examples. Everyday I am inspired by people like my friend Leslie who is a mother of 3 and has managed to be consistent and dedicated to her blog. Not only that, Leslie has created a way for other bloggers all over to collaborate and support one another. This builds a since of community and encouragement. I feel me having one child can't even compare. I am eternally grateful for people who stop at nothing to pursue their goals and do a damn good job at it. Here is to being up for the challenge and putting my best foot forward everyday. I am not putting myself down in anyway as I know I have had some amazing accomplishments. The fact of the matter is acknowledging what needs improvement as I strive for perfection in my ability to balance. #BLMGirl

The Art of Me
I had my first photoshoot over the Memorial Day weekend. This video shares the art of me, from my style, what I'm capable of doing when I collaborate with others and share my vision. I have a background in film, dance, theater and design. Thankfully I am blessed to use the skills that I have acquired to share with others. After teaming up with the stylist for my shoot, nail technician, and makeup artist, we came up with some wonderful ideas and I feel they all remained true to Regal Sovereign.

The Art of Prayer
May everyone who receives this message be blessed. Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive. There is no cost, just a lot of reward. Make sure you pray, and pray believing God will answer.
May today be all you need it to be. May the peace of God and the
freshness of the Holy Spirit restore your thoughts, rule in your dreams
tonight, and conquer all your fears. May God manifest Himself today in
ways you have never experienced. May your joys be fulfilled, your
dreams be closer, and your prayers be answered. I pray that faith enters
a new height for you; I pray that your territory is enlarged. I pray for
peace, healing, health, happiness, prosperity, joy, true and undying
love for God. Amen!
