Welcome to Temple Talks

Welcome to Temple Talks Blog. I am Miranda Blasingame, aspiring author and solo entrepreneur mom of two boys! I own Temple Luxury & Company, I sell various naturally handmade products. I've wanted to be my own boss for as long as I can remember. I've always been drawn to the arts just as much as literature if not more. I have also been blessed to have a mother with a business driven mentality. She always taught me the importance of education, professionalism, manners and general etiquette period. I always thank her for passing along the jewels she'd acquired in her lifetime, regardless if they made sense at the time or not. These same jewels are still shaping me into the "uncommon millionaire" I am becoming today. I'd like to think of myself as a jack of all trades, becoming a master of many. I dibble and dabble in so many different things that it's easy to get burnt out quick. I've learned to focus in on whatever it is I'm most passionate about at that time and allow everything to flow according to my desires. With this plandemic going on, the Black Lives Matter movement, etc...I've really been in between a rock and a hard place. I just officially launched my business in February, smack dab in the midst of chaos...BUT, I was not, and am not, discouraged. The first couple of months went fine, then I started to see the decrease in sales, which meant a following decrease in funds. Again, I have no worries. I like to operate by the notion that "Everything that's meant for me, is meant for me. No one and nothing can alter that but me.". That being said I've been taking this time to develop my business in other ways. Since I am solo (for now), that means my business requires me to be the planner and the laborer. This was causing me to slack in other areas. So, in this down time I have been able to make the edits, collaborations and sweeps which allows me to moved forward in the organized nature I prefer. In this meantime I have also created a podcast, started a rough draft of a novel, and now created this blog. My plans for this particular platform is to give people a glimpse of the rough and raw realism of being not only a solo female entrepreneur, but a mother, daughter, friend and individual period. I think it's important to have "filter-less" outlets, emotions and references. Not everything needs to be photo-shopped and edited to perfection. I know I sometimes find myself longing for that relativity and have trouble soothing the desire to be understood. I want to give people, not just women, like myself, and opportunity to know that they aren't alone and there are genuine safe spaces where you can be yourself, honor yourself and explore yourself. On this platform I will be completely transparent about my business, my interests, my personal life, my opinions and beliefs, world news, nature, DIY/life tips, kids, love, astrology, numerology, and so many more topics. If this is something you'd be interested in, then I look forward to writing for you! Love, Light & Peace out!
