d an amazing time last night teaching a private virtual cooking class. I’ve been teaching online classes since 2010 before Instagram even launched. I’m not new to this, I’m true to this 😂🔥. Swipe to see what the ladies had to say🥰☺️

I know that #TacoTuesday is a thing, but can we try to make #WrapWednesday a thing?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I mean, look at this, it's gorgeous, it's delicious, it's healthy, and it's super easy to make! We really need to push for this as a community! I mean it. LOL 😋
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These wraps are made with brown rice paper, collards, carrots, cucumber, red onion, cilantro, radish, red bell pepper and any other thing that you can fit inside. Check out my stories for the details.

Also, what kind of wraps are your favorite?

Sooooooo remember yesterday when I said that I spent the month of July, piddling, playing and purging my house?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yeah, about that. I’ve also done some purchasing. 😬🤷🏾‍♀️🤣Mostly #blackowned products with a little bit of luxury items sprinkled in. Should I do a haul on my Vlog channel on youtube?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While I love food, you also have to know that I really love pretty things: makeup, home decor, clothes, shoes, books, you name it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So if you want to see what I picked up, Let me know!

This is how I'm feeling right now after taking the ENTIRE MONTH OF JULY OFF!
I feel so refreshed, so renewed and so ready to get back to work!

I can't say that I really went on vacation, because RONA 🙄. But I did spend the month playing, purging and piddling around the house.☺️

I used to think that taking a month off ended once I finished school. That being an adult meant working non-stop until retirement with an occasional 3-4 weeks off a year at best.

If I'm being totally honest, I was never really a fan of having to ration out my vacations days.

Then I realized that I could DESIGN and CURATE that exact life that I wanted. For me, taking a month off in the middle of the year, is part of that design. (I also don't work Friday through Sunday).

But let's be clear, I didn't get here over night. I decided to take the leap of leaving my corporate engineering career behind, following my passion for food, and investing lots of time, money and energy into learning how to build a business around my life, and now I'm here.

And in this phase of my life, I'm so blessed that I get to teach others how to do the same. I love when my clients tell me about their staycations at the Ritz Carlton or how there are certain days of the week that are off limits to everyone else and are reserved just for them.

It's not a secret, it's a system. And that's what I teach. ( I guess I am still using my engineering skills 😆)

What's one thing about your life/job/business that you would like to be different right now?

One of the things I love to do over the weekend is to create a one pot meal. Something I can just go and grab and eat all weekend long. This giant pan of curried pineapple cilantro fried rice is one of my favorites. 😋😋😋I’ve been making it for years. What did you eat this weekend?

Wow! I can’t even believe that I wrote this six years ago today.

In my heart of hearts, I’ve always known that I wanted freedom in my lifestyle.

Freedom to give myself a raise when I wanted one.
Freedom to take time off without having to ask anybody’s permission. (which is why I am currently off for the month of July).

Freedom to work with who I want to work with and not be concerned about whether they are my ally or not.

July is always such a special time for me, because it’s when I walked away from corporate America over 11 years ago.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When this memory came up I laughed, and I smiled, because now the main focus of my business is helping other women who want to become free.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You may not hear me talk about it much, you may not see me post screenshots of my bank account or invoices, (because that’s just weird 🤦🏿‍♀️) But what I can tell you, is there’s no greater joy, then to be THRIVING in a crisis, in the middle of a pandemic, all from the comfort of my own home and teaching other women how to do the same.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don’t believe in hustle, I don’t believe in grind. What I do believe is in ALIGNMENT, a God- Given ASSIGNMENT , and working the heck out of a STRATEGY!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So if you don’t see me much this month, it’s because I’ve designed a business, where I can take off for an entire month, still make sales, still have time to rest, and be stress-free while the worst of the world is on an emotional roller coaster #VivianGreen 🤣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s the secret: A different life is just a decision away.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether you believe you do or not, You always have a choice, always. You just need to decide that you want something different, that you want something better.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be encouraged! ❤️

Anyone else love breakfast tacos 🌮? I made these with turkey bacon, spiced potatoes, cilantro, avocado and salsa. Might have overstuffed them because I almost didn’t leave room for the eggs 🍳😆 but I got them in! 🙌🏿 What did you eat for breakfast?
