What am I going to call this one?

Simone Old Navy Stripes

I just can't make things up, I am going through and dealing with so much right now. Not all bad and not all good...just a lot! And the fact that I over process everything is not helpful in getting things done quickly. I am currently working on both design and personal projects. 

While I might often neglect posting on my Instagram and/or Facebook, I am spending time in the Word and will not neglect that. In order for me to grow and thrive, I acknowledge my need and desire for Christ. So bare with me while I grow through this process and become who I truly am.

Stop the "wait", real self talk!

I think that I am now at the point where I remind myself on a daily basis to "stop waiting". I can hardly believe that so many of us live the same lies that we tell ourselves. Like, when did we all need other people to tell us that we are good enough? When did we forget that we were? 

Life is just crazy! When I woke up, I had a plan and before my feet hit the floor, my plans had changed. Within my first hour, I ran a quick errand and when I got back home, I sat at the table and a snowball of emotions just hit me. All I could do was sit still and cry. Then I just closed my eyes for a minute and started to pray. Almost instantly, things changed.

And as I write even now, I have no idea what my emotions were about. What I do know is that everything that I needed came in that moment and my day became more productive than I had originally planned. 

Now about the "wait", almost every time that I want to blog, I find more reasons why I should wait...constantly. I wait for better pictures, for perfect words, for another project, for a better camera...the list goes on and on!

So here I am, and this is my post. No picture and nothing fancy. I started here because I want to challenge myself to be more consistent and as a reminder that I am good enough to do this, whatever this is!

An Inside look into the Life and Style of an Interior Designer

Tampa Bay and surrounding area Interior Designer Simone Johnson. A personal look at her Life and Style as she builds her Brand.

I have waited much too long for things to be perfect, for me to make the moves that I need to, so with that said...I have decided to add a lifestyle tab to my blog!

The truth is, I am not always working on a design project and my life is so much more than design. But don't think for one second that means I am not all about design. I literally design in my sleep and I do this weird thing where I will watch a movie based on location, to feed my need for architectural inspiration. 

(Usually a New York setting, I love Brownstones and New York's old architectural details. Dream project!)  

Also, being as design is embedded in me, I find inspiration in all things, including the way I dress and how I cook.

I hope to find a group of like-minded people, who can both relate and dialogue with me on this part of my journey.
