01. Glint Celebrates 20 Years

For our 20th Anniversary, we are making 2020 a year to pause and reflect. Glint wants to celebrate twenty years of business by having people share their stories and business journeys. Everyone has a story, and it has been quite the journey for us; let’s face it, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. If anything, it’s hard to run a business, but what makes it worthwhile is reflecting on how far you’ve come. We all started somewhere and were impacted by significant moments along the way. It doesn’t matter if you’re in your first year of business, your fiftieth, or you haven’t even started. It’s about understanding the meaning of hard work and remembering that no matter where you are in your journey to take a moment to pause and reflect on what it took to get you where you are now.

The people you work with, the work you do, and the things you have accomplished are all a part of your success development. So, we ask, what makes you proud? What drives you? Where do you want to be?

✨Thankful Thursday Vibes: Slow Is The New Fast✨

This past Saturday at the 11th Annual Deborah C. Offer Bulgin Women of Virtue Walking in Excellence Celebration, I heard something from the amazing Tameca Wood that stirred my soul:
“Slow is the new fast.” ⏳

Let that sink in…
In a world that glorifies hustle, her words were a divine reminder that rest, stillness, and peace are powerful. ✨

Today proved it. I took time to pause 🧘🏾‍♀️, breathe 🌬️, and reconnect, because rest and rejuvenation aren’t a luxury… they’re necessary for the journey ahead.

🥗 Lunch with a dear friend today was more than a meal, it was a celebration of our wins, our growth, our sisterhood, and all the goodness still unfolding. And YES… I ended it the only way a celebration should—with a scoop of vegan chocolate ice cream 🍦 (because joy is in the details)!

Bishop Donald A. Wright said it best:
“Gratitude is personal.” 🙏🏾

And it truly is. It lives in the quiet wins, the sacred pauses, and the still moments where God reminds you that you are exactly who He created you to be and exactly where you need to be.

Feeling thankful, grateful, and blessed beyond words today. 💛

Let’s keep pouring love, taking intentional pauses, and honoring every moment of the journey.

Happy Thankful Thursday! 🎉

“If you’re still here… go and live a purposeful life!” 💚

💭 Ever feel like you're rushing through emotions just to get to the next thing? You're not alone. In a world that pushes productivity and instant fixes, it’s easy to ignore what’s happening internally. But true healing happens when we slow down and check in with ourselves.

🌱 Taking a moment to pause and reflect can make all the difference in how we navigate relationships and stress. When we acknowledge our emotions, we create space for growth, regulation, and deeper connections.

✨ Give yourself permission to pause. Breathe. What is your body telling you right now? What emotions are asking to be seen?

💬 Drop a ❤️ in the comments if you're committing to slowing down today.

THE PORTRAIT of today HUMAN || 
We wake up and check notifications before we check in with ourselves.
We capture moments instead of living them.
We curate a digital self that sometimes feels more real than our own reflection.

One eye sees the world, the other—through the lens of a screen.
One hand reaches out to touch, the other swipes.
Our thoughts are interrupted by pings, likes, and endless scrolls.

Are we still fully human?
Or have we merged with the algorithm, optimized for engagement but disconnected from reality?

Time to pause. To be present. To see with both eyes open.

✨Taking time to pause often leads to breakthroughs that endless hustle never will.

✨Are you prioritizing what matters most, or simply trying to do more?

But here we are. 

 
 Three years into this journey, I’ve been sharing meditations on mortality, grace, and the strange beauty that reveals itself when you pay attention at twilightjournal.com. 

They’re not grand declarations. 
 They’re quiet letters from the edge of life —offered with the hope that they help you pause, reflect, and maybe even breathe differently. 

If any of this speaks to you, I hope you’ll join me. Not someday. Today.

We have so much to be thankful for, yet, our lifestyle causes us to be too rushed to pause and cultivate a heart of gratitude. We have packed so much activity into our schedules that we end up stressed and unable to see the beauty in our surroundings.🌸💨

Have you ever noticed how we are a generation that is socially connected yet rarely connects deeply?💻💔

Technology is an amazing thing yet, for some reason, our ability to communicate has diminished.📲💬

People rather text than have a meaningful conversation.📝🗣️

People used to write epic letters with the most uniform handwriting. No typewriter or keyboard. They would share thoughts and experiences in the most beautiful way with those they loved.✍🏽💌

That is unusual anymore!😔📜

People don’t even write “Thank you” notes…maybe a few.

It doesn’t take long for this seemingly insignificant omission to affect how we look at our lives and surroundings.🙏🏼✨
When you begin to falter in your lack of thankfulness for the small things, yourgratitude for the big things is forgotten.🌟🍂

There is power in a grateful heart that heals depression, gives joy, and often even heals the body physically.❤️💡

Gratitude isn’t something that will happen just because you write out 3 things you are thankful for each day. That is an exercise in mechanics which might help but it must go deeper than just writing those things on a page of a cute book.📝🛍️✨

5️⃣ Reasons why you want gratitude as a lifestyle:

• Gratitude gets our eyes off ourselves.
• Gratitude reminds us of Who is in control.☝🏼🗺️
• Gratitude causes us to be thankful for the little things.🌱
• A heart of gratitude leaves absolutely no room for complaining.🛑😠
• Gratitude makes the enemy flee!🚪👿

Most of all, gratitude opens the door for continued blessings!💞🙌🏼

Reflection:
Lately life has been a roller coaster and I have not been as active as I have wanted to be. But wanted to come on here and just be encouragements to other moms that life doesn’t always go as planned we are constantly being thrown curve balls but if we cling to Jesus and we trust Him we have nothing to worry about. All we can do is bring our request to our heavenly Father and know that He has us. Raising our children is not all fun and roses but it is such a blessing and they need whole spirit filled mamas leading them. They don’t need stressed burnt out ones. We need to guard our hearts so that we can be the best version of ourselves and be able to accomplish our first ministry which is our families! Let the Peace of Christ consume you surrender all your plans and desires to Him and walk out His will and Purpose for your life!! #cozynestdigitalcorner #christianlife #momssupportingmoms #momsofinstagram #inspiration #encouragement #faith #peaceofgod #scripture #mommylife #momlife #pauseandreflect #trustgodswill #surrender #jesuslovesus
✨ A mindful moment, just for you... ✨

In the midst of parenting, work, and the never-ending to-do list, how often do you pause—truly pause—for yourself?

Poetry can be a gateway to stillness. A few quiet moments with words that touch the heart can bring you back to yourself, to the present, to what truly matters.

Whispers of the Infinite by my dear friend Kiruthika is more than a poetry book. It’s an invitation to slow down, to listen, and to reconnect—with yourself, with the infinite within you, and with the world around you.

💛 Take a deep breath.
💛 Read a poem.
💛 Let it be a moment of mindfulness in your day.

✨ Available on Amazon & Barnes & Noble

To our spouses, kids, and family, we appreciate your tolerance of our late nights, grumpy moods, and crazy requests. To our clients, we couldn’t have asked for better allies throughout the years, enduring our requests for help, pushiness for approvals, and tolerance when challenges arose. Our partners have been exceptional, thank you for aligning with our crazy expectations and always being there when needed.

You are all part of the family, and we are proud to call you glintsters; without your support, we could not be here.
