Becoming All of Me
Welcome to Layers of Blessing
A daily journey through the vibrant, unpredictable, and meaningful life I live.
My name is Blessing Chisimdi Simeon, and I’m many things. For a long time, I thought I had to pick just one. But over time, I’ve come to understand that being multifaceted is not a limitation, it’s a gift.
I am a singer who ministers through sound. I am a graphic designer who communicates through color, form, and type. I am a bead artist who turns thread and crystal into beauty and storytelling. I am a student striving to finish strong. I am a choir leader, serving and organizing behind the scenes. I am a writer who paints with words, pouring thoughts into books, blogs, captions, and scripts. And at the center of it all, I am a believer walking by grace, held by faith, and driven by purpose.
This blog, Layers of Blessing, is where all of me comes together where each part of my life has a voice. I created it not just to document what I do, but to give space for who I am becoming.
Why I’m Writing This
Because people like me deserve to be seen, those who are “more than one thing.” We often juggle passions, tasks, and expectations that don’t fit neatly in a bio or business card. But the truth is: all our layers matter. My journey is not about balance, it's about harmony. It’s about knowing when one part of me needs more attention, and when another needs to be still.
And I believe someone out there needs that reminder too:
You don’t have to shrink to be understood. You don’t have to pick just one dream.
A Multifaceted Life
Being many things at once can feel like a blessing and a burden. Some days I move from printing banners for a client to preparing worship songs for rehearsal. Other days I’m sketching bead patterns while writing a blog post or chapter draft. It's not always easy, but it's honest, and it's mine.
Each role informs the other. My creativity as a writer sharpens my storytelling in designs. My understanding of flow in music helps me structure blog posts and plan rehearsals. My beading requires patience, the same kind I need as a student or team leader. I am not scattered. I am layered.
Before the Sections Come...
Before I start breaking this blog into parts—faith, music, work, art—I want this post to stand as my whole. To the reader who finds this someday, welcome. Whether you’re like me or nothing like me, I hope this space reminds you to show up fully in your truth.
A Note to You (and to Myself):
You don’t have to fit into one box to be powerful. All your parts belong. Your mix of talents, passions, and callings is not confusion—it’s calling.
Closing Thought:
This is the start of me living out loud. One layer, one day, one blessing at a time.
