Relay for Life Part 2

Well I am pleased to say that the Relay for Life was successful despite the weather we had. All day the weather was decent until the afternoon, that's when it began to rain. Luckily there was a good size pavilion where the Relay for Life took place. Usually the Relay for Life is set up around a track so everybody can easily visit the various booths. Unfortunately I forgot to take my camera with me, I know crazy right! But I did have my iPhone, so I did take a few decent pictures. 

Here are my Instagram photos from the night:

The weather was not its best Friday night. It rained the whole time.

Me and my fiancé enjoying ourselves. This was our 6th Relay together!

Luminaries honoring my mom and pawpaw, and in memory of my uncle.

Cancer is something that affects everyone. If it does not affect someone personally they know someone who it has affected. The Relay for Life tries to help raise money to go towards cancer research. I have participated in our local Relay for Life for 10 years. I love everything about it!

Excuses

 
 
Ok, so I have been trying to decide here lately about what all I can do to help build up Brittney Rae Designs. I need to first, change the name of it from Brittney Rae Designs to something else. One day I googled it just to see if my blog came up, and a totally different website came up with the EXACT same name! Therefore, I feel like a name change is a must. Secondly, I need to determine exactly what items I will have for sale. I am full of ideas; it is just hard to decide on a few at a time. I wish I could create all of my ideas at once! Third, I need to create a focus on my blog. If someone was to ask me right this minute what my blog was about I wouldn't be able to tell them. This blog has become a very random place. I need to create more of a topic focus for the blog. I have several goals I would like to achieve in my near future concerning this blog and my business.
I am trying to keep myself from creating a ton of excuses for why I can't achieve these goals.
 
These are my top 3 excuses:
1. I don't have time to make stuff or blog.
2. I don't have the materials/money to make my products.
3. I don't have enough space to create everything.
 
I'm sure other people have the same excuses as I do when they are trying to achieve various goals. That is why I love this quote!
 
 
I need to quit with the excuses! If I have a goal I need to just focus on the positive aspect and do all I can do to achieve those goals! I need to do what I can, with what I have, where I am. My excuses are getting in the way of my dreams. I would love to create a successful blog and business, but it won't be possible if i keep creating excuses for myself. I am becoming more focused more and more everyday!
Watch out for exciting things coming up!
 
Do you have any suggestions for my blog or for the items I try to sell? Do you have a tendency to create excuses too? How do you focus to better achieve your goals?
 
xoxo

Terrible

I have become a terrible blogger. I was actually beginning to post things regularly and then I just stopped for some reason. I stopped around the time of my final, so that may have something to do with it. I guess I just needed a break from everything! Well I'm back now and will plan on posting things more regularly again. I will defiantly create a post that will be full of updates of what all has been going on with me lately! Be on the look out for it! Hopefully you all will accept my apology and forgive me for temporarily being a terrible blogger.
