Imagine Me Blossom: Deja Perez

IMG_9768

Who do you imagine your best self to be?

Honestly, I am a work in progress. I’ve been working on my relationship with God. I realize without him and my family…I would be nothing!!!!

What steps are you taking to become that person?
I spend much more time in church than EVER before!!! But more importantly I try to give of my time, doing different community events. It makes me feel more complete to help others.

What was the toughest lesson you’ve had to learn?

That sometimes life does NOT play out the way you planned!

What was your “Ah Ha” moment?

I’ve had a few…1st: my dad passed about 5 years ago (though it still feels like it just happened)…2 years later my mom had a stroke…not sure if I made it clear…but my family is my WORLD…and these events rocked me to my CORE!
However, professionally, I’ve been SO incredibly blessed! I’m SO in love with my “What’s Poppin!” entertainment segment (broadcast on Radio One/WKYS radion station)…it’s literally my baby! I swear it gives me LIFE!
What accomplishment are you most proud of?
I don’t even know where to begin! I LOVE what I do! I LOVE that I get to touch people’s lives and help people. I’ve had the opportunity to speak at schools and reach the youth. Helping people helps keep things in perspective and it keeps me thankful for all that I have been blessed with!

Door #1

1

You are longing for the simpler things in life. You are seeking quiet, solitude, and you enjoy large periods of time alone.

When you are in the company of others, you prefer it to be homey — perhaps just with friends and close family. Your future is a happy one because you know what you like. You enjoy authenticity and simplicity.

You are destined for a life free from the drama of others, though be careful of getting too bored.

Door #2

You are destined for additional wealth — but you know it’s only if you put in the hard work.

By choosing the door with the stairs, you are inclined to want to climb. You are seeking the nicer things in life, and you understand that to get those things, you’ll just have to  work hard and take it, literally, step by step.

You’re not afraid to climb to the top. In fact, you find pleasure in the journey up there!

Door #3

You must be very cautious. You have an inclination to venture into the unknown, and while your sense of adventure could eventually pay off, you’re going to walk right by warning signs.

The fire hydrant is a symbol of the possibilities of danger, but what’s on the other side of the door is anyone’s guess. If you have felt the repercussions of taking too many risks lately, maybe it’s time to proceed with a little more caution.

The number 26, hanging over the door, is an important number for many Judeo-Christian people as it symbolizes God. Even though you’re taking a risky path, and whether or not you believe, take comfort in knowing that someone will watch out for you.

Door #4

If you chose this door, you are prepared to go to battle.

Whether it’s a legal battle, a struggle for power, or you’re looking for a promotion at work, you have taken the steps to prepare yourself, and it will pay off. The red symbolizes power, as do the castle walls.

Not even iron and sharp edges will frighten you away from claiming what is rightfully yours. You have been locked out from what you wanted for too long, but now that you have crossed the moat, you’re ready take the whole castle.

Door #5

If you chose this door, don’t worry. Things are about to quiet down.

You are seeking something comfortable and calm. Perhaps you’ve been going through a rocky time professionally or personally. You are seeking to be surrounded by those who will be loyal and love you unconditionally.

If times have been hard lately, find contentment in the fact that you know what you want. Aim for people and activities that will be consistent, and avoid those that will rock the boat.

Door #6

I know you have been feeling burdened lately, but the good news is that you have enough optimism to pull yourself through!

The dark times will soon be left behind you, but you have just a little bit further to go. You haven’t reached “the light” yet, but it’s in view. If a brighter future still seems too far away, you can’t give up yet.

Think of all that you’ve left behind you. The worst is through, and as long as you keeping working, you find get the freedom you are seeking.

Door #7

7

Get ready for some chaos in your future — but it’s nothing you can’t handle!

You’re almost more comfortable with not knowing what your next step will be. You like to keep your options open and every door is a door you’d like to step through. Things may come flying at you from all angles, so prepare for some unexpected surprises, but that’s nothing new for you.

When that unexpected hurdle comes your way, just get ready to open another door.

Door #8

You’re definitely the curious type, and while “curiosity” might have killed the cat, your curiosity is going to pay off. There’s a big gap between careless and curious, and you know the difference.

You know that it’s good to take unexpected risks, but you have to have some idea of the repercussions.

This curiosity and sense of adventure is going to pay off. You know that one thing you have been thinking of doing, but haven’t been sure if it’s the right thing to do? Do it. There’s no time like the present to try it.
