It's Been A Long Time...

Hello World!!!! I haven't blogged on my Tumblr account in approximately 3 years. I've missed this! Writing is one of my passions that I don't allow myself to indulge in as much as I did when I was in college. But on THIS day I'm committing to be more consistent with indulging in my passions that I enjoy....that won't cost me anything.

I thought I'd start this newly located blog with a brief synopsis of where I've been and what I've been up to during my blog hiatus.

Career...
As you can see, Deaune'Today has been officially transferred from tumblr (which is/was a fantastic platform) to its very own home (www.DeauneToday.com). I'm extremely proud of this move because it is my second web address and business venture. My first website and business (EulaCorine.com) was made official in 2017. It is a beauty and apparel brand that I've dreamed of starting for a long time. I always believed that I needed to make a certain amount of money in order to start my business but after a major life shift, reality and God let me know that my life had to start immediately. Waiting on the "perfect time" wasn't smart or guaranteed. So I began investing in myself and the business came to fruition.  In 2018, just as I was just getting my groove with being an entrepreneur, my day job informed me and my other co-workers of the company's decision to dissolve our local department. Which basically meant I would be completely jobless in 60 days. I was completely nervous about maintaining my fiduciary responsibilities but didn't panic because I knew that this was my opportunity to move forward with my entrepreneurial endeavors. So, here I am a year later, still not employed by a corporate entity, my business is doing great, I've not wanted or needed for anything and my creativity has picked up. Honestly, I'm excited for the years ahead. I may return to a day job at some point but not at THIS point.

Family...
My family life has gone through a complete unexpected restructuring over the past 3 years. So much so, that I want to share in a separate post about it. Much of the change surrounds the loss of my Father in 2017 but beyond that my mother, sister and I have been in an ever changing space that has led us to new levels of maturity, strength, independence, friendship and fearlessness. Truth is, there is no me without them and no them without me.

Love Life...
Y'all nosey....Truth is, I'm still very single. Which has allowed for the freedom of time, thought, creativity and enterprise building.

This is just a quick hello....but I will be giving my opinions, sharing in thoughts and expressing emotion. I'm grateful for your visit and hope you come by to see what's happening with Deaune' Today.

P.S. Please take a minute and enjoy some of the original material written on the old blog site...LOVE Y'all!!!!
