Stop Waiting For Your Life to Start After You're Married

Singles, it’s time to focus on that project/business you always dreamed about ! Take it from successful entrepreneur Alexa Reynolds who specializes in photography, branding and web design. Reynolds birthed her company Virtuous Beauty after being in a couple of relationships that didn’t work out. Reynolds learned to make God her portion and encourage millennials with positive words, images and videos ! Read below to see how you can get started on your dream now ! 

 

Habiba Abudu (HA) : You share that you had opportunities of being married, what happened ?

 

Alexa Reynolds (AR) : Yes, I was almost engaged twice. Both times, the relationships ended  up falling apart due to lack of consistency and authenticity.

 

HA : How were you able to heal from those relationships not working out?

 

AR : It wasn’t easy. The first time was easier than the second, but both times hurt. To come so close to marriage twice, feeling like you’ve finally figured it out, then God reveals things, and it’s all over. The healing came through transparency with myself and God. I couldn’t sweep things under the rug and act like it didn’t happen. There were times when I sat on my bed and questioned God. I even became a little angry because I didn’t understand it all. God knew what he was doing though. Writing has always been an outlet for me too. Sharing on my blog what I was going through provided me with a sense of satisfaction. I also have a great group of sisters/friends and family who support me.

 

HA : Can you discuss how you were able to build your brand, Virtuous Beauty, during your season of singleness?

 

AR : Singleness is the perfect time to focus on the things that you’re passionate about. A lot of people think that you need to wait for marriage to walk in “purpose”… absolutely not! If I was married or in a relationship, I wouldn’t have half the time that I have now to work on my brand. I shifted my focus from relationships to pouring into Virtuous Beauty. There’s nothing like being able to come home to a quiet apartment and being able to brainstorm in peace. 

 

HA : Can you discuss some other ventures, you were able to pursue as a single ?

 

AR : Traveling with my girls is one of my favorite things to do. I love taking daily trips in my area. I also have been taking time to learn about MYSELF. It sounds funny but I learn something new about myself everyday.

 

HA : What has helped you develop confidence and joy in your season of singleness ?

 

AR : Fully knowing that I am in the hands of God. Before this realization, I struggled with comparing myself to others. As long as I am following God’s voice I know I am not missing out on anything that is supposed to be mine.

 

HA : What are some different ways that singles can build their relationship with God ?

 

AR : Spend time in His Word and with Him. You have all of the time in the world right now. I have many married friends who wished that they utilized the time that they had as a single. It can be as easy as sitting on the floor, playing music, and listening to podcasts. Also community… surround yourself with others who can pour into you.

 

HA : What advice would you give to those who want to enjoy their life, but can’t move past the fact that they’re single ?

 

AR : JUST DO IT – Marriage is not the answer to everything. When we begin to realize that the things we see on social media aren’t always what they appear to be, we will live much happier lives.

Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea
shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely
off topic but I had to tell someone!

Honestly I would agree to disagree with the statement “Marriage is not the answer to everything. ”
Because if you think about it, it is if you’re married to God that is. Beacause that’s our first marriage and when you recognize your marriage to him, he’ll give you the answers to everything you ever needed it’s just the fact of growing in that relationship with him. So in all actuality you were never single you just started to recognize your marriage to God which kept you content.

With havin so much content do you ever run into
any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement? My website has a
lot of exclusive content I’ve either created myself or
outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the
internet without my authorization. Do you know any methods to help protect against content from being ripped off?
I’d really appreciate it.

Howdy! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options
for another platform. I would be great if you could
point me in the direction of a good platform.

I blog quite often and I really thank you for your content.
Your article has truly peaked my interest. I’m going to bookmark your
blog and keep checking for new details about once
per week. I subscribed to your RSS feed too.

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get set up?
I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost
a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% sure.
Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I do not know if it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else encountering issues with your site.
It looks like some of the written text in your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if
this is happening to them too? This could be a problem with my browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
Cheers
