What are you saying? What’s behind what you’re say? What do you really want? #BeIntentional
Love this Blouse so much 😍 Released it last week and they’re already flying. (Like literally flying, around the world, to our Clients’ homes 🤗). Share with a Minister who needs this for the Easter Season. It would be an honour to serve her. www.houseofilona.com
Meeting my Business Consultant in London yay 🚂. “Seek wise counsel, not inexperienced opinions” #youbetterpreach 😂
Thinking about the scripture “there is no shadow of turning with Him” and this came to mind 🙂
James 1:17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Lamentations 3:23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. #totd

I just let my light shine live on Facebook in an interview with an incredible Marketplace Pastor, who I also have the privilege of calling a Client. Geralda Larkins.
Key take always:
I shared Matthew 5:16 KJV
[16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Not just my brain but my Mac too lol. Is it just me? Roll on the weekend 😅
Teachable moment for myself here…
When my laptop and internet browser has too many tabs open (unfortunately this is often), it means there’s too much “I’m planning coming back to”. Sometimes I can’t switch off my laptop for days because I have so much open. My goal is to open my laptop in the morning, do my work and shut down, tabs and all. Otherwise, it leaves me with an un-finished feeling and that there’s always something to come back to.
In the same way, when there’s a lot going on in my brain/life it can feel like too many tabs open. This is when I need to pray, journal and process. Get things into perspective so I can move forward without a cloud. That usually does it for me. If I can’t shift it, I pray without ceasing, I keep lifting the situation to God everytime it comes to mind and after a while, I get an answer, resolution and/or peace about it.
So, too many tabs open? Computer – Address things right away or plan a time to come back another day, but you must be able to shut down. Brain – Pray, journal and make lists
The last 2 years have been an incredible journey. In April 2016 I took House of ilona Clergy to America 🇺🇸 ✈️ for the first time. It was incredible and game-changing. Came back to the UK, moved the business from home into an office, with staff!! 😱🤗😱 First Business trip to China 🇨🇳 for sourcing in October 2016. Featured in Buckingham Palace for an MBE Presentation. The youngest black Priest to be ordained in the UK was the first to wear our first men’s robe and it was featured on Songs of Praise. We’ve now outsourced our Fulfillment (stock storage, picking, packing and shipping). 😅😅😅 Love what I get to do every day Releasing new styles and designs all the time and really enjoying serving my Clients everyday. www.houseofilona.com
Business can be a lonely road but between my God, my rock @peterdaleymusic, Business coaches and these authors, I’m in great company.
These are just a handful of the books I’ve read and gleaned so much from over the past year. The latest “How to be an overnight success” (it just took her 18 years) by @mrsrodial was a fantastic “read” (#tellthetruthandshamethedevil ok so it was a fantastic “listen” I’m the audiobook Queen!!!!! Lol) The first couple chapters I was like… she’s written my book, this is my testimony… till her product was mentioned by Kylie Jenner and she has soared to all kinda heights. I really enjoyed listening to her journey. I love that her and her husband are still co-owner of the Business and scaled without having to take outside investment. She doesn’t want to sell her business. She wants to run and direct her business and continue to do what she loves. I love that!! All the other books are amazing too. So many gems. #leadersarereaders
