Welcome to The Bloom Effect Journal—a space where I share reflections, personal growth, creativity, and lesson I’m learning along the way. This blog is a collection of thoughts, experiences, and moments of inspiration as I navigate life., purpose, and the journey of building something meaningful. My hope is that these entries encourage you to pause, reflect, and embrace the chaos!
Blessed and forever thankful! Thank you, God, for this season I am stepping into. I am grateful for the opportunity to create, to dream, and to build something that feels like a true reflection of who I am. I don’t have everything figured out yet, but I am grateful of the process, the lessons, and the growth that comes with building something from the ground up. Especially when I am doing it for about the 4th or 5th time… LOL Not really sure. But am I thankful that this dream hasn’t died and that I have the Most High to guide me through this process.
As I begin this new chapter, I want to take a moment where I document where I am right now. My website is still in progress, but I am excited to watch everything slowly come together. I have so many ideas running to me at once. It is so hard to get them to slow down and not lose a possibly good idea. However, I also know that it is important to enjoy the journey, take my time, write things down, and most importantly breath! Unfortunately, that seems to be something I tend to forget to do. But hey I am working on it!
Creating this space has been such a learning experience. I have never built a website before on SquareSpace so this is a completely new territory for me. I wouldn’t consider myself very tech savvy, but one thing I’ve always known about myself is that when I truly set my mind to something, I will find a way to figure it out. Besides who wants to pay someone to build a site for them? Not this little, small busier who is still trying to figure out how to pay for this website… Hehe. In the beginning I can’t even lie to you… I felt overwhelmed and even stepped away for a day too long. That’s me letting my anxiety get the best of me. But then I remembered my dream and what I need to do to get that done. So here I am getting that done! Or at least trying… No no … I am doing it.
Anywayyys… after giving myself some time today to explore and learn I am finally seeing my vison come to life. Which I crazy because I feel like I had a vibe more than a vision. I was getting frustrated at first because the vibe just wasn’t there for me. But as I played around with the site I am starting to really love where this is going. Slowly I am starting to see things transform into a space that feels like me!
A space where I can share my creations, my creativity, my thoughts (which might get a little scary.. but dont worry we will be fine! Remember Jesus is King), and all the things that inspire me.
This journey is about so much for then building a website and selling beautiful handcraft items made by the most wonderful being to ever walk this earth aside from Jesus himself! No, its about creating something meaning ful, continuing to discover my purpose, and work toward more freedom with my time, my finances, and the ability to pour into the things that truly matter.
I am super excited for this new beginning and honestly feeling very tired. I just looked at the time and it is only 9:30pm. However…. that actually sounds like my bed timmeee. Anyways… what was i saying again? Oh yes! I am excited for this new beginning and what is ahead. I am excited for the lessons I will learn, and for the people who will become apart of this journey.
This is only the beginning, and I’m so grateful to finally share this piece of my heart with you.
With Love,
Julissa Rose
