Tunnel Vision

 tun.nel vi.sion
noun the tendency to focus exclusively on a single or

It's hard to believe that we are now in the 4th quarter of 2017. I can remember very clearly just starting this year out. Still ambitious and excited to accomplish my goals for the new year. One 
thing that I've learned is to cherish every moment of time because in a flash we are ending one 
year to begin the next. In this 4th quarter goals post I would like to write about some of the things 
I have accomplished this year and list my October goals. But before I get started an honesty 
moment would be every goal started this year did not get accomplished but majority of 
my list did *does happy dance* Below in no particular order are my goals accomplished thus far 
this year:

• I attended networking events every month throughout this year. My most recent event was the Canary Gallery event hosted by Magic City Fashion Week.
• My most memorable moment this year was buying "A seat at the table" art book and being retweeted by Solange herself via twitter. This act of kindness gained me a ton of exposure and for this I am forever grateful.
• I made new friends. I attended an all PINK party hosted by my friend and I got some really great photography shots.
• I purchased two e courses this year 1. Master the Gram-by Brianne Patrice 2. Working with Brands-Mattie James
• I met Victoria Sanders in person aka @thevicstyles . Oh nothing, she's like the coolest stylish person I know with over 20k followers on Instagram while based in LA , travels the world, and surrounding cities like Birmingham, Al to support other upcoming bloggers.
• I faced my fears and applied for a huge Fashion opportunity as a blogger. From this I gained exposure + lots of new networking opportunities.
• I attended a Saks Fifth Avenue Fashion Show recently and got great reviews -- my h&m dress
• I complete See Jane Write lessons every week they are always good, I tend to learn a lot. Being social on social media, creative on Instagram, and gaining new followers
• I became a public figure on Instagram as a Personal Blogger which changed the game for me. I now can do sponsored posts & check my analytics. *Instagram is bae*
