I want to Rock and Roll All Night and Life Coach Everyday

I have been working on a few projects that have been chugging along at a reasonable pace. 
I am starting my own business. I want to be a life/career coach. I do it everyday and I think I can earn some extra money doing more work on the side. It is actually the only part of my hellacious work situation that makes me happy. I have registered for my business license and LLC. I have also gotten my taxID. I have been slowly getting the DBE(minority owned business) application completed. That is one intimidating application. I have to declare that because I am a woman and I'm Black that I have been disadvantaged for doing business. 
Cray!

I am finally getting Joyel and The Side Hustle rehearsed!!! (That's the new band name-you like it?!)
It was like hearing cats, pulling teeth and waking up the teenage son I don't have for school all in one! Bands take work. To get them motivated when there are no gigs lined up is really hard. But we have our 2nd rehearsal set for tonight. 

My boyfriend-yes- I've had a normal healthy supportive boyfriend for almost 6 months now! I am waiting for the world to turn on it's axis but it hasn't happened yet. I deserve a nice man in my life and blam! He's here! 
We only see each other on weekends because he lives in Myrtle Beach. I will not move to Myrtle Beach. I am ok with the fact that he lives there. He wants to see me more. He just became part owner of a doctor's office. I repeat I will not move to Myrtle Beach. It's the AC of SC. This part owner thing was the newsflash that he announced casually this Friday. 
Part owner of an office wasn't in the cards when he moved down here. I can tell he doesn't like it. He says he wants to have a future with me in it. 
Did I say I don't want to move to Myrtle Beach?! We had a grown up conversation about this on Monday morning at 5am. He gets it but he also is driven. I can't live there. I need to tell him again. 

My relationship voice isn't getting heard. But that's because I'm not speaking up enough about it. 

My work stress symptoms are returning. Muscle spasms, panic attacks, arthritis in my hands and stomach aches. I'm in full on meditation and creative mode to stave off the blues and it's not really working. 
I think I need to start to run again. I also apply for new jobs and have a plan to not give up on career happiness yet. 

Anyway- gotta get going to the job. 
Humph! It used to be a career.  I wish I could rock out for a living. It's much easier and way more fun(don't judge my grammar)!

I finally got my name in lights!

Image
I did it!  I got my name up in lights on a marquee after 1 year of working very hard to be heard in the Philly music scene!   Last year at the Dewey Beach Music Conference, I set the intention to the owner that I would see her next year and that I'd be performing.   I remember her saying to me "OK."(and the tone was "Who is this chick?!")  But one year later, I saw folks noticing my name on the sign while I was waiting to perform my original songs to a packed house at Jimmy's Grille in Dewey Beach, DE. I know it wasn't SXSW or the Grammy's yet but I had arrived in my own personal achievement.  This was a challenge that I took on and did it out of pocket and sheer grit and determination.   Manifestation works when you put yourself to work.   I didn't just wish on a star and hope to get selected.   I took to getting out to the local music venues, networked my tail off, played out and practiced all year long.  2 weeks before I was abou

Oops I Did It Again!

Image
A coaching colleague of mine just called me out yesterday! I was filling her in on what was going on in the last few months.  I shared that I worked myself into the energy point of no return.  I was burning out.   She quickly pointed out that at the same time last year, I was telling her a similar story about how I hustled so hard I needed to take a break.  She highlighted that it appears that August is the season for slowing down.  But I shouldn't be working so hard until I'm at the brink of burn out AGAIN.   Oops! I did it again.  I got lost in the game.     What's interesting is that we focus on bad habits like smoking, over eating, negative self talk but I think we forget that how we work can also be a habit that needs close attention.   My name is Joyel Crawford and I'm a workaholic. I hustle until I can't flow no mo.   Building your own business is not easy or cheap.  I learned that for 18 years I had the support of an international bra

His profile bragged that he was a bad boy who works for the Government so he's not a stalk
