'Who Are You' Wednesday

Who Are You Wednesday

Hello!! My name is Nicole Brown and I am wonderfully made! I am a creative soul that desires to help others. I am a realist with various dreams and lofty goals. I am a culturally diverse and appreciate the diversity found amongst others. I enjoy learning about new ideas, and seek to always feed my mind new and exciting concepts. I am a marriage and family therapist as well as a creative visionary & artist. In essence, I do practice marriage and family therapy and I design content for groups, classes and workshops, as well as help others navigate their relationships in life in general. I love to design high fashion & other items, write about relationships, self esteem, faith, fashion and beauty! I also have a huge book of poetry that I have plans to publish ne day. I do all of these things because I truly I believe that these creative outlets are the means to me fulfilling my purpose of helping and reaching others.

I did not always feel confident in my creative abilities or even open to my choice to become involved in therapy. I struggled to find out what I was meant to do. I had always loved everything creative but I did not feel like I did anything well, and that that I was not exceptional at anything. I did however feel great about my poetry, but it was often dark and dismal, or about things that I wanted but felt like I could never attain. Through my faith, I learned to grow to appreciate that everyone was made with different talents for a specific reason and that comparing myself to others was not going to help me achieve my purpose, in particular. I learned to embrace what talent I had, because I was equipped with everything that I needed to achieve the goals and dreams set inside of me. It was not and is sometimes still not easy to stay focused on my own lane. It is hard not to look at how well someone does something, or how easy they achieved something else, but I always remind myself that I am where I am supposed to be and where I am God can use me. I had to let go of what I believe I was supposed to be able to do and where I was supposed to be in life, in order to be able to embrace opportunities as they came and still come to me.

Now, I am truly excited for where my future is going and the places and people that God will allow me to touch. Though, I am ready to be there now, (I’m working on my patience) I know that there is quite a bit of pruning that I need to help me elevate from where I am to where I should be in order to properly manifest what God has designed for me. I can say though, that the biggest lesson that my creativity and passion for helping others has taught me is : I must learn to learn to enjoy the ride.
