On many occasions my face is mistaken for one of a well known starlet. It used to be a young Whitney Houston, then it was Halle Berry, and the latest - Lisa Bonet. I am grateful to be mistaken for any one of these beautiful and successful women. However, when asked if I was Lisa Bonet, I humbly answered no, to which I wasn't believed. This women insisted that she had seen me on TV and that I was the now grown up Lisa Bonet. I guessed this bothered the company in my presence because she blurted out "she's nobody"!
Insult? Probably not intentional, but this did lead me to think about the time waste when I procrastinate getting a job done. I can so easily think of 50 million other things that won't take long to do, but of course they always take over my time. A couple of months back I set a goal to create a panty a day until I had the designs for the pre-launch set. I convinced myself that I'd been through a lot of crap lately with losing my house and the death of my dad and that crazy census gig, and I should go easy on myself. But at the end of the day I know everyone goes through their own crap and I'm just procrastinating. This is where I change for the better, because I never want to be called a nobody ever again. Maybe it won't be a panty a day but it will be as many as I can manage until I fall out exhausted or have the pre-launch designs exactly the way I want them - perfect.
Yep -- one day look for my story -- SHE'S NOBODY.
