Q1-A Great Start to the Year!

Happy Q1 Everyone!

       As most of my readers know, I often like to reflect on my current stages in life to evaluate my progress towards my goals. Q1 is a term that I picked up on from my accounting days and like to use the term to break the year into four quarters. So currently, as we get ready to finish March (Q1) I wanted to give gratitude to my first quarter of the year and use it as motivation for my Q2.

     Lets begin by saying that going back to school to pursue my dream career is one of the BEST decisions that I made for myself. I think about all that has come to life by working hard and staying committed to my dreams. What is interesting is that it is no longer just a dream, it is becoming my reality. I  was fortunate to attend two very high profile events this year, The NFL Honors Awards which took place in my city of San Francisco and the 3rd largest viewing party for the Oscars at the Beverly Hilton! Both events were absolutely amazing and surreal. To be in rooms that I once watched on television, to actually being in that exact room was beyond thrilling. I was able to connect with some wonderful people and enjoy each event thoroughly.

      What I have learned is that a journey never ends...it just excels into another level. One must stay in alignment with their intentions to manifest and be a part of what they are seeking. The work is never done. The higher you reach, the more there is to maintain. For me, I am thrilled to come this far and cannot believe that I will be graduating next year with my degree in Broadcast Journalism! I have hopes for myself but also know it is not about getting comfortable when the vibrations are high, it is about receiving what is in the moment and building from that to the next chapter. Big moments just don't stay, you work to keep them.

    So to all my lovely readers, I truly do thank you all for being a part of my journey since 2011 and as always, I am thinking of new innovative ideas to bring to IBI. I am working on some great things for Q2 and look forward to sharing them with you. Just remember that everyone has a purpose in this world and one is not greater than the other, but to live within purpose you must find what make you come alive every time.

Lots of Love,

Ish

2015 -Check in!

Hello  Everyone!

    

         How is everyone doing??? I hope everyone has had a wonderful summer and something transformative has taken place in all  of our lives! My summer has been nothing less of transformative, adventurous, and quite thrilling. I feel as when you are ready to expand beyond your own comfort then it is quite amazing how fast life can change. I recently took some risks that, although were uncomfortable in the beginning are now exhilarating. Sometimes in life you just have to spread your wings and see how strong they have become to fly, because you never now what is waiting on the other side to make your acquaintance. There is a lot of world out there to see and I hope we all give ourselves a chance to explore.

                                                                    

VICTORY!!!

 

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS!!!!

IT MAY TAKE SOME TIME BUT YOU WILL GET THERE!

 

 

PURPOSE?

Dear Readers,

      I hope that everyone's 2015 is off to a wonderful start and everyday you are a step closer in fulfilling your purpose. I am off to a great start and have recently just successfully completed my 1st semester at SFSU! It has been a wonderful experience and I have learned a lot! One of the most valuable parts of being a student at SFSU has been the feeling of gratitude and contentment that I feel walking through campus everyday. At times it is hard to decipher if  you are in alignment with your purpose, but in actuality I feel that when you feel a deep level of happiness with what you are doing then you are aligned with your current purpose. I often read pieces of my own entries before I write a new entry for IBI, and its amazes me every time of the beautiful journey that I have been on and have been able to publicly share with my readers. It takes great depth to connect with people and I am currently opening myself to relate with people as a place of oneness. I am so grateful for this blog that I started in March of 2011 and feel blessed to see the progression of my dreams. I encourage everyone to take a look within themselves and ask if you are in alignment with your purpose? Sometimes just being will help you feel where you are at. Tomorrow we reach the 6 month point of the year and now is a better time than ever to determine if you need to make a shift in your direction.  Love you all and tune in too "thoughtful Tuesdays" on IBI!

Never Too Late!

   Something great about starting something on your own is that you can always return back to it! I would like to begin by thanking all my readers for staying in touch with my Insights by Ish posts and for being a part of "thoughtful Tuesdays" on my IBI fan page. It has certainly been a while since I posted on my blog, but nevertheless the insights remained coming on my fan page. Before I began writing this post, I reflected back to my last entry in January 2014 and it summed up a lot for me. That post was about commitment and committing to what you really want and making it happen. I guess that level of commitment explains why I wasn't writing much on my personal blog.

    Last year I committed myself to going back to school where I could put myself in a position to pursue my dream career. With a lot of hard work and dedication I succeeded! I was recently accepted to 3 different Universities and made my final decision late last year. This Spring I will be attending San Francisco State University as a Broadcast Journalism major! I am so grateful for this opportunity and am very excited to begin the next level of my education.

     It is a very exciting feeling to feel the movement and growth in your life and know that you are in the works of your dream!  I am very happy also to share this news with my readers and wish everyone blessings in pursing their dreams. The plan this year is to continue to bring new Insights to my readers and share in a year filled with Expansions! Happy New Year!
