It’s been a while since I’ve used stylish in the title of my blogs. This is a preview of what’s to come soon to The Stylish Swanky James. I do like that title. I’m also trendy like my friends at Trendy.
First off, you’ll still read about Toastmasters as well as my small business visits. It’s been an amazing last several weeks building up my friend base. Following these small businesses like The Trendy Bunny Studio, Masterspieces (ordered my Stars Hollow sweatshirt today on the website), and Wolf and Whisk on social media has been somewhat of a life changer for me. The new friends I’ve made have helped me to become less dependent on others for my happiness. Last year, I dealt with a crush in the workplace. That feeling has burned off but the girl has left her mark on me with her personality, style, and fashion sense. I’m no longer depending on someone to make me happy, I’m someone who makes me happy.
We have our open house next Wednesday night. I will do my best to get the word out about our club. I miss making my visits in District 13 and COVID 19 has really crammed my style. Zoom meetings are great, but I miss the in-person camaraderie of Toastmasters meetings. I’ve talked up Toastmasters to my Trendy Girls and they’ve seemed impressed. Someone even came in to the shop last week and the subject was brought up. I’ll be making a visit to Earlybirds soon enough, as well as Cranberry High Noon. Club officer training is coming in December. I really wished it would have been at community college, but it will most likely be held online.
Now let’s talk about some of the new subjects I have planned for the blog.

I want to do a blog about food. What do I want to make for the holidays? What do I eat for breakfast? How about my plans to begin doing meal prep every week? I need to start eating right, so why not blog about it?

I want to do more fashion blogging. Lately I’ve been snapping some selfies of my fall outfits and posting them on social media. I plan to take a picture of my outfit of the day (one for work and one for home or when I go out)

Finally, I want to begin doing more inspirational blogs. My confidence has grown and I want to continue spread positive vibes. COVID may have soured my plans to visit other Toastmasters clubs, but it’s also helped me to take a look at myself. I’ve managed to let go of the past and live in the present despite the fact this is my 20th anniversary of graduating high school and starting college. It’s been so easy to look back at the past, remember those old wounds and just live in the good old days. I’ve come a long way since my first few years out of college.
Remember to live your best life. Be your best you. Be a ray of sunshine. You may just change someone’s life with your positivity. Don’t forget to laugh because laughter is the best medicine.
Bye everyone. ❤️ you.
