A New Purpose, A New Direction

Seven months ago, I lost my writing voice and I felt like I didn't have much to offer through blogging. I felt lost. I literally didn't have anything to say to the world. This was more than a case of writer's block, I was stuck in the mud of 'blogger dissolution'. So I subconsciously made the decision to step away (for awhile). I felt guilty, because I had branded myself as "lifestyle blogger", but could not push out not one damn post. I wanted to, but...nothing. I put pressure on myself, when I didn't have to.

The lesson here: It's a journey. I cannot allow myself to feel guilty about the decisions I make, or how I am feeling at any given time. It's OK to walk away.

I had to take a time out to gain clarity on my future as a blogger. Plus, I had a lot of life "stuff" going on and just could find the motivation (or time) to write. Plus, any blogger knows that it requires actual WORK posting to your blog! I just didn't have the mental energy for it.  For a brief second I thought about hanging it up for good. But that thought quickly passed.

I came to the conclusion that I needed a more specific niche than what I was blogging about. I basically had to connect the dots of what I was already doing, and paying attention to my divine desire and the patterns of content on social media postings. Out of that, I discovered my purpose...who knew? But it was there all along.

I am excited because I now have a new sense of direction. I am more focused on what God has called me to do. I will continue to use my life experiences to share the wisdom I have acquired, with encouragement and inspiration. I'm still me...and my writing style will not change. I'd like to call call it LoveShanGlam the remix!

I'm here to offer my readers sips of  inspiration, encouragement, and share the experiences of my journey. I hope that you will read and have some sort of 'take away' from my posts. I haven't "arrived" and I don't know all the answers, nor will I pretend to. We're all in the same boat. I am growing and learning just as you are, so let's grow and learn together!


        Love & Light,

A Rebirth: New Look, New Name

Lovely Followers,
In an attempt to start seriously branding my blog, my future business, and myself, I decided to change my blog name to Love.Shan.Glam (I'll explain the name later). Recently, I changed my Tumblr to Love.Shan.Glam. and after giving it a lot of thought I decided to switch NaturalistaGlam to Love.Shan.Glam also. In order to effectively brand my business, I need consistency. I don't want to confuse my audience on my identity, because I could possibly lose their interest. The content will not change. It just makes sense to have both blog names the same. I will most likely do business under this name in the future as well.

The meaning: 
I started with Love, because I everything I do under this name, I want it to be it will be with love.
Love for myself, love for the work I do (blogging, creating, selling etc.).
Most importantly, love for the people/my audience/followers I am serving.

In the center is Shan, my nickname (of Shanda). Whatever I do, I will be giving you me: My personality, my style, my humor, my charm...it will be me.

At the end is Glam. According to Merriam-Webster.com Glamour is defined as: a very exciting and attractive quality...my definition of Glam is boldness, beauty, and an appealing unique style. I am drawn to all things glam. I adore color, pretty things, and beautifully creative design. I also wanted to keep that end part of my former blog name NaturalistaGlam. Not to mention, Glam  rhymes with Shan lol.

So there you have it. That is how LOVE SHAN GLAM was created. Thank you for your continued support and love.



Peace & Blessings,
Shan

Poem: Made for Love

I am what I am. Love it or move around. Thick curvy, luscious
and beautiful.
Stacked with personality, humor and style. Not defined by what's popular,
or what's hot. I am what I am, what you see is what you could have...
if you can handle it all.
Not a 8 in the waist, no ass for days, but breast for years and legs for a lifetime.
5 feet and 7 inches of pure golden brown goddess topped with curly locs
to bless your hands with each touch.
I don't mind. I like how it feels. I encourage you to explore.
Feet you dream about, toes that taste like sweet pieces of the
 rainbow you'll acquire.
Only...Slowly...One. By. One.

That's how I'm made.

I'm a giving, loving soul. You get more that what you see,
so don't you dare box me...in. I restore your faith in eternity,
redefining your idea of a new destiny. With me.
I'm not for everybody, I get that and not trying to be.
I am honest. I am open. I tell you what is my head and heart.
Secure in us, never doubting our bond.
Dedicated through the valleys, tried and true. Rolling with you
every step, every bump and hump. I got you.
Perfected kisses with supple lips and an imaginative tongue,
that reciprocates every motion so sensually and intricately.

That's how I love.


Shanda Webb
