Hey! Thanks for stopping by! I’m Brennon!
Read on to get to know me a little more…
For starters, I’m an Aquarius and was born on January 31st. I’m in my 30’s and have a great appreciation for life.
I strongly believe, “the happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything.”
Professionally…
I’m an Academic Advisor at a community college with my Master’s degree in Leadership Development. Before entering Academia, I worked many years in the Nonprofit/Social Services sector as Program Coordinators. I meet a lot of students who want to enter nonprofit, so if this is something that you are interested in, this blog post over here can help.
Both, are really great fields for me to work in because I have a passion for helping others succeed and I am able to do so in both sectors.
Fashion and Beauty Industry Driven
Prior to entering the Nonprofit/Social Services sector, I was passionate about the Fashion and Beauty Industry. I have a diploma in Fashion Merchandising and spent an intensive week at JLS Make-Up School in Hollywood, California to receive my certificate in Make-Up Artistry.
Later, I went on to Glam Lab Makeup Studios in Chicago. You can read about that at the post, Certified Makeup Artist in One Day.
In addition to the above, I spent three semesters at Illinois State University taking classes in Apparel Merchandising and Design.
Ultimately, I never excelled in the Fashion and Beauty Industry and Program Coordination became my professional life – with the exception of occasional freelance writing.
Personally…
I have two wonderful boys. They make me so happy! They are very grateful and manner-able. I love that! I am very family oriented. I love being around my family, as well as my friends.
I love a good laugh.
I’m very creative and love making things. I’ve been spending a lot of time pen-palling recently. Yes, adults do pen-pal. It’s a wonderful way to connect to others and to learn about the lifestyles and cultures of others.
When I have time, I enjoy baking and decorating cupcakes, re-fabbing furnishings, or simply making lists using all kinds of colors and stickers; I just love creating.
I’m a life-long learner and enjoy learning about things and sharing what I’ve learned. I do not like to be challenged. I don’t want to try and “prove” I know anything. I just want to know it and move on.
I’m also, always trying to improve myself. I simply want to be the best Brennon I can be.
I’m not overly emotional and am pretty grounded. I spend a lot of time meditating at night with spiritual meditation music. I journal often and believe in the power of vision boards and the law of attraction.
I am learning to love myself more and more every day.
Things I Love
I love things that are cute, geeky, and corny; it just makes me smile and I get so excited!
I love silly jokes, Sci-Fi movies, waffles, coffee, and walking for exercise. To be honest, I don’t really want to do much past walking for exercise. I mean, I do. I just don’t like to.
I don’t like fast food much at all. But, I enjoy good restaurants. Currently, I’m working hard to transition into a plant-based lifestyle. I know it won’t happen overnight, but it’ll happen.
I love traveling and taking tons of photos. Hence, our stately travels.
Lastly, in my final stage of life I want to die knowing I really enjoyed my life with beautiful people and beautiful things.
