It feels a little vain to write about myself but with the new year upon us and over a thousand views in my first two months writing this blog, I thought I should at least give you a glimpse of the woman behind the blog.
Personal
Let’s start with the good stuff. People always want to know about your personal life first so I won’t torture you with all of the boring stuff, yet.
I am a single mom of a fantastic and extremely energetic four-year old little boy. I have never been married (blog coming soon on that) and can’t say that I honestly see Mr. Right in the near future. I have dated enough Mr. Wrongs and Mr. Not Quite-Rights to realize that it isn’t always them and its not always me. Relationships are a two way street but both people have to be driving in the same direction.
Sometimes I think I’m kind of lame but then I get a night on the town and realize I still know how to have fun. My Christian and Cool segment chronicles my journey from Party Girl to Christian Leader. Some people think this transition happens over night but I am finding that it is a process, it is filled with struggles and slip ups and you can’t be ashamed to admit your mistakes and ask questions. I am also finding that more people identify with what I am going through than I originally thought.
I love to blog because it’s cheaper than therapy and I get a lot of stuff off my chest while hearing other people’s thoughts. I try not to take things too seriously. I’ve learned it’s best to let go and let God.
Professional
I only feel the need to include this because I am sure there are some people that wonder what makes me think I am qualified to write all of this “stuff.” I am blessed beyond measure to be involved with some awesome organizations that constantly provide me with challenges and opportunities. I prefer to live on the good side and make the best of any situation ~ then I come over here, switch up some names and blog about it (LOL).
I’m a Business Consultant by day and Blogger by night. Gotta pay the bills. I specialize in helping small business owners through seminars and one on one consultations in addition to faciliting seminars and workshops on job sites. My varied experiences allow me to present on a multitude of subjects. The best moments are when you can see a light bulb go off in someone’s head because you have said something that really ressonates with them.
Miss Busy Body
I used to think I was good at saying no but once I compiled this list, I realized that maybe I am not as good as I think. I have a passion to work with each of these groups and am learning to just do my part, stay in my lane and preserve my passion.

“Too whom much is given, much is required.” ~ Luke 12:49
“I don’t brag, I’m just Blessed.”
“It isn’t arrogance that holds my head so high, it is anointing.”
Connect with me
I prefer to build a network filled with people that want to have a mutually beneficial relationship so if you connect with me, don’t be surprised if I call on you to be a speaker, provide some insight or to help one of my clients. As I often tell my son, “Sharing is caring.”

Enough already!
I’m one of those people that will stand up in church and testify that I haven’t always been this focused. God brought me through many a storm and I still go through them but I have the spiritual maturity to praise Him before, during and after the storm.
I am sooo grateful to all of the readers that visit this site, whether you leave a comment or not. I read other blogger’s sites and I am in awe at their creative content and writing skills so it makes it even more special to know that my topics are of interest to you.
Don’t ever hesitate to contact me ~ contact@lakeshawomack.com ~ if I can be of assistance to you or your organization.
Hope this satisfied your curiosity or peaked it enough to make you want to come back more often :)
Check back next Wednesday, it could be all about YOU!!
Some people ask me how I manage being a single mom, having a successful career and being involved with so many organizations in my community. To me it is simple. I make time for what’s important to me. I have noticed that a lot of people are unhappy because their lives are out of balance. In order to achieve your goals, you must first achieve balance.
My priorities are simple God first then family and friends and my career and community are interchangeable at third. What does this mean? It means when I am making decisions about how to spend my time I keep in mind what’s important to me. Some people just take on tasks because it seems like something they may be interested in pursuing but I have to ask – at what cost?
When some people think about cost, they simply think about the financial impact that a decision will have on their life; but cost is also the emotional impact that the decision will have. There are some things that I would love to get involved with and I have time for but at what cost to me being with my son, shopping with my mom or volunteering in my community. Although one person may think their project is more important than a Friday afternoon shopping with my mom, but for my personal happiness spending that time with her is invaluable.
God has Blessed me with the gift of not having a problem saying, “No.” No does not mean that I don’t care or that you are not important but it does mean that it is not something I believe I will be successful at accomplishing. Just like everyone else, I want to be successful. However, overextending yourself rarely leads to success. It often leads to you disappointing someone that is relying on you or sacrificing something that is really more important to your personal happiness.
So, here are my five keys to achieving balance in your work and personal life:
Maintaining balance is easy when you set priorities and make decisions based on what is important. It is okay to be selfish – sometimes. How do you achieve balance between your professional and personal life?
