Goodbye September | Day in the life RCD

Hello RCD readers,

Welcome back everyone.

Hope everyone had a great vacation. This is my first week back.  Last week I took a week vacay. I didn't post any content on my page and I choose to create blogs for this month. I had a blogging hiatus.

A lot of friends have been asking me how is business going and how I'm doing. I'm happy. I feel at peace and that is something I've been really working hard to get. I've slowly been getting yes when it comes to work and I feel like it's been a challenging but purposeful year. 

Refreshing complement

The month September began with me finishing an ongoing project. A Hair salon project. It was unexpected that she actually loved my work. And I'm feeling really happy that I can also get a referral ever in the future from this. The biggest goal here is to make sure client's have a good experience. Even if it doesn't end with a project or if the client was a pain in the butt. Your reaction makes the client come back. I'm slowly learning that referrals are the biggest part of client growth. 

Unexpected project's

Last month I had two project's that may grow in more work but that is speaking growth into existence. I don't put too much pressure and hope into projects but I do celebrate the small wins. 

For example : Having an initiative phase where you come up with an concept is not a definitive yes. I had two Yes's in the beginning of September that ended in a dud. With both potential clients not responding anymore and me having to professionally end the conversation with a follow up response. 

But..

Whatever happens with these two project's and if they turn into whole design project's. I'm grateful for just designing the concept and getting paid for that. 

Are RCD article a thing of the past?

As some know August is when I started my blog on my Facebook page and I thought that celebrating this with the source. RCD articles would be a great idea. OMG.. Facebook sharing YouTube link content is such a dud. It really made me reconsidered if I want to continue with making informative RCD articles and focus solely on my business and RCD Projects. RCD articles take more work and the views are so depressing that I don't know if I'm wasting my time.

Content Content Content

I choose to make more content for September. The point was to see my Instagram page reach grow. It helped a little. I choose more reels with important budget tips. Finally shared some inspiration viewing of older project's. One I finished but the other became a dud. I choose to show more behind the scenes stories. And I finally shares Carasols of my finished projects for this year. 

Achieved one important goal

I hit 1k viewing for a YouTube short clip. This was unexpected and not even planned.

I also hit that 200 following mark on my Instagram page that was stagnant for years.

Mommy's 70th Birthday

My mother's birthday I gave her the weirdest present. Something that I won't share but I did discuss it with somebody really important in my life that always has my back. Not everything needs to be shared. But what I would love to share is this.. Mommy had two birthday's. She was loved. She was spoiled. And she had her family around her having fun. That is what she always wants. Her kids by her side. Including her "foster" daughter that drove me crazy as a kid when she lived here. It was what God intended it be. 

Last week of September was very chill. I had a lot of movie nights, finishing costume room and last finishing a potential bigger project. September was a perfect mixture of:

• movie nights
• at home swimming parties
• reconnecting with family
• fun cooking nights
• giving people a chance and making new friends
• embracing those deep intense conversations that are just fun to have
• enjoying my journey in getting to know more of my religion 
• creating my own peace
• perfect time management towards project's 
• last getting finances done.

This is the perfect way how I feel now at this moment of my life. Repost from my personal Facebook page " Happiest version of yourself is God's greatest peace and blessing that He can give you. A lot has changed within a year. 

And I'm grateful for every single one. I had a conversation last night and the person talked about dealing with a failure.  And all I could say " every single failure or regret turned out to be God's protection and blessing for something better ". 

And with that in mind I see my growth. I see me overcoming my struggles and I'm proud of myself. In the midst of every hardship these two years I've been the happiest version of myself in a long time. 

• With every setback I've overcame adversity.  
• With every disappointment of situations or people I've grown as an independent woman and my relationship with the Lord grew stronger.
• With every secret revealed I've learned to heal more by forgiving and picking up the pieces that I didn't shattered.

Thank you Lord ❣
