Life Update ✨

Hey babes <3 It has been a while since my last blog; I have just been living, taking each day by day. It has been a year since I released AllThingsLC, and I genuinely missed writing blogs. I miss talking to you guys and letting you know what is on my mind. I apologize if this blog is all over the place; I want to give you guys a short life update (I know many have not asked for this; however, I am doing it, anyways).

It is crazy to think we are already in September; we only have four months till 2023. So far, 2022 has been a blessing; I could not even be more thankful. My life is not perfect; I have had my bad days, where I was in the hospital for a week, questioning my entire life. One of the few things I tried to do this year; was count my blessings by looking at all the positive things in my life and focusing less on the negativity and bad shit. I started the year with one of my biggest blessings this year the purchase of my commercial property. It has not been easy; at times, it has been overwhelming because I am the owner of a whole property. I have so many responsibilities now, such as taking care of the bills, making sure my tenants are satisfied, and taking care of repairs; the sucky part is that I am responsible for everything, and it is up to me to figure it out. This journey has been a rollercoaster of emotions; at times, I walk around my business and feel so grateful because, a year ago, I prayed for this moment. There were times when I felt like giving up because I was so stressed out, but in every situation, I tried to look at the positive aspects of the obstacle. The hardest part for me was juggling the commercial property and my actual business Latinamerica Distributors.

Latinamerica Distributors is my main business where we import and export products from South America. Being the Vice President of Latinamerica Distributors and Latinamerica Realty has been stressful; but a blessing in so many ways, from viewing financial statements, expenses, and my clients/tenants; but at the end of the day, I am super grateful to call something my own. I owe so much to my business; my family created a company that will be passed on for generations. Even though my work life has been overwhelming, I always manage to put my all into my business; to me, nothing is impossible or ever too difficult. One of my main goals this year was to get my business wholesale liquor license, which was described as one of the most challenging licenses to obtain due to all the requirements. In three months, I achieved my wholesale liquor license for Rhode Island and the Federal permit to wholesale and import liquor to the United States. They may seem like little achievements, but for me, it is more than that; I achieved all of these things by myself, and each day I surprise myself even more because I can achieve anything I put my mind to. I have always been the type of person once I reach a goal right away, I will aim for my next objective, and sometimes I forget to take a break and take in the accomplishment.

Even though my work life has consumed a big part of my everyday life, I promise you guys I have a personal life lol. At the beginning of this year, I wanted to focus on myself to achieve my professional/personal goals. I had recently gotten out of a relationship; all I wanted was peace and positivity. I indulged my time in my business and AllThingsLC for a good three to four months and enjoyed it so much. I provided great content by creating clothing hauls and writing my blogs; I felt very proud. I got to know myself around this time of year, and when I least expected it; my life changed completely. It was the middle of May when I met my current boyfriend. He was heaven-sent and came into my life at the right time. It was love at first sight for both of us, but we were not aware yet. I knew from the day I met him; that he would instantly impact my life. Life works in mysterious ways; sometimes, when you at least expect love will come out of nowhere. I did not think that love would come so soon into my life; I was so hesitant; I was scared to feel vulnerable again for someone, but he made me believe in love again. We are now in October; even though I have been with my boyfriend only since July, I feel that the Universe has finally given me everything I asked for in a man. I realized that timing does not mean anything when you are with the right person, you just know, and everything starts to make sense now of why things never worked out in the past.

This blog is only a glimpse of my life over the past couple of months. I am immensely grateful for all the blessings that 2022 has brought me. Life is not easy, but I always try to make the best out of every situation. I have had my share of sorrows and sadness; all I wanted this year was to be full of positivity and growth. I have come to the point; in my life where I try not to dwell on negativity and take each day by day. I know I will have bad days at work where I feel like everything is going wrong, but it is up to me to change my mindset, look at the positive side and come up with solutions. My relationship is not perfect, but it is real; we have become a team, and it's always us against anything and anyone. Love is a choice such as happiness; we sometimes make everything more complicated than it seems. The reality is that, besides; the ups and downs in life, we must always try and make the best of it. We only have one life; I want to ensure that I am doing what makes me happy and being with the people I love and cherish. My life is not perfect, I have had days where I have felt that I was not motivated or did not have energy, but I have made it a priority in my life to rest and recharge my energy. I am not always in a positive mood and that is okay; I do not want to portray an image that is not real. Life is a mix of the good and bad, but it is up to you; to decide on what you want to focus your energy on.

This concludes my life update blog for today; thank you to anyone who has read to this point. I am so excited to be doing what I love again; I look forward to writing more blogs. I hope you enjoyed this blog; stay tuned for more content.

Love,

LC ✨
