Sometimes you must do a 360.
Other times, a 180 will do.
Either way, we must know when – and we have to be ready.

Y’all know we love you, right?
Adrienne, Rachel and I love the members of The Swirl World. Celebrating Black women and the diverse men who love us is a privilege.
Our overarching missing is to see Black women live their best life. For that reason, we’re constantly striving to bring you content designed to educate, inspire and entertain you.
That’s why we had to come through with something special for the holiday season!
The Christmas season brings a dual challenge. We’re participating in the holiday while simultaneously preparing for the New Year. Thus, we often don’t take the much-needed time for personal reflection.
No worries – we’ve got you covered!
Here’s a video to tell you more:
(And let me tell you – I really, really, really, really, really, REALLY love y’all, because in this video I’m dealing with the onset of a sinus infection. My nose is red, my eyes are watery, but hey! As the Single Mom Coach Kaywanda Lamb says, “Do it anyway!”)
Make sure you’re signed up for our email list to ensure you receive each daily post, because you don’t want to miss one!
Tomorrow is Day 1 – so let’s get this party started!

We receive lots of emails and messages on Facebook. Some of them are real doozies. This email was FIRE: “His White ex-girlfriend called me a gorilla!”
She called you a what?
Here’s the email, and Adrienne’s response.

Here in The Swirl World, we’re busy setting blog and podcast goals for 2017.
One of the goals we’ve set is to bring you more posts featuring Black women entrepreneurs.
Why? Because this:
When I think of Black women and how utterly amazing we are, the song I’m Every Woman by Chaka Kahn cues in my head.

Swirling isn’t all we’re doing.
We’re pursuing higher education.
We’re starting businesses. Per Fortune and Black Enterprise magazines, Black women are entering the entrepreneurial arena in record numbers.
The number of Black women entrepreneurs is high – and we know some of you are in the number! For this reason, expect more entrepreneur-related posts in 2017.
(Stay tuned – we’re going to give you the opportunity to sign up for an exclusive list. The list will present carefully curated, entrepreneurial-related posts). Woot!
Recently our podcast Co-Host Adrienne London Leach engaged in some “tech talk” with online web designer and entrepreneur Chrissy Jackson Marquardt.
The Jamaican-born Marquardt is the married mother of 3 boys – and a Swirler!
Chrissy talks tech, and also discusses how she balances being a wife, mother of 3 and an entrepreneur.

I challenge you not to only “ride the wave,” but to go one better.
Do as Thoreau says, and launch yourself on every wave.
To me, launching yourself means to first see the opportunity in any given moment, and then to leverage that opportunity.
The “opportunity” can be something as simple as seeing the beauty in a single flower (there’s something to be said for “stopping to smell the roses.”)
The opportunity can also be something as complex as paying attention when an idea flits through your mind, and stopping. Writing it down. Brainstorming.
Or, just doodling!
The point is not only to seize the moment, but also to enjoy it.
Join in the Fray: What steps can you take to “launch yourself?”
