The Struggle Is Real

Experiencing humiliation is humbling yet a hard pill to swallow. After sharing news with people I felt of things coming to fruition, everything I believed turned out to be taken away. I was expecting my second child & weeks into my pregnancy I was informed there was no heartbeat. After being out of work since 1/15/16 I started my own jewelry business and in that time applied for a grant. Today I received a rejection email of not being a recipient for it. Prior to these two humiliating moments I was called to audition for a commercial I did not get called back for. I ask myself, "When am I going to get a fucking break?" It sounds raw but you know what...I am human. One cannot help but to be in their feelings for a moment when you bust your ass to achieve things in life when odds are against you. As a woman of faith I have to believe there is a great blessing around the corner. I will not curse God because this is what the enemy wants. The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not want. Psalm 23

The Art of Balance.

After talking with friends about life and being a working mom, I have to admit it is quite a challenge to do it all. I find myself drifting a lot from one thing to another...my focus needs to be corrected. I allowed doubt and excuses to put things off but there is no room for that in my life. I am surrounded by people that encourage me and set great examples. Everyday I am inspired by people like my friend Leslie who is a mother of 3 and has managed to be consistent and dedicated to her blog. Not only that, Leslie has created a way for other bloggers all over to collaborate and support one another. This builds a since of community and encouragement. I feel me having one child can't even compare. I am eternally grateful for people who stop at nothing to pursue their goals and do a damn good job at it. Here is to being up for the challenge and putting my best foot forward everyday. I am not putting myself down in anyway as I know I have had some amazing accomplishments. The fact of the matter is acknowledging what needs improvement as I strive for perfection in my ability to balance. #BLMGirl

The Art of Age

Last weekend I turned 31. March 5th to be exact. I'm an 80's baby all the way and proud of it. The 80's was a time where most of my all time favorite movies were made and there were bold fashion statements. Since then the 80's has made a comeback more than once. Actually, everywhere I go I see a bit of an 80's influence. How I spent my birthday...very low key. I went for a long stroll with my son, then to brunch as he slept the entire time in his stroller. I had some delicious french toast, eggs and chicken apple sausage at Cornerstone, a restaurant in Brooklyn. When I came home there was a bouquet of roses waiting for me from my sweet. Later on I went to dinner at Tao. The wait was over an hour with reservations however, it was worth it because the food was amazing! Then me and my party went to The W Hotel where there was a bit of a strange crowd but it's New York so you can't really escape that. The day after I had a Spa day with my friend. At 31 years young, I feel great. I'm happy healthy and spent my time celebrating it where and with whom I wanted.
