God, I hope she never reads this. If you’ve been following me this year, then you know I’ve fallen off. I don’t write blogs as frequently as I should. I am late responding to Facebook notifications (primarily because I removed the app from my phone) and I rarely share pictures of my life on Instagram. […]

This began as an Instagram post inspired by a tweet. When I sat down to write the post, it became too long-winded even for me. I rarely discuss fashion and beauty topics because, well, that’s not my ministry. God has made room for my gifts and style isn’t one of them. But, alas, I am inspired

Last Wednesday, I woke up refreshed and in a strange, overly chipper mood. It wasn’t the restful 10-hour slumber from the night before or the PayPal notifications chirping on my phone, signaling that my clients had paid their invoices. On this morning, I was happy just to be happy. I’m in a different space both

It took me two months to write this. Honestly, truly. I have a lot of shit to get off my chest. I wrote a similar blog post last year about the great lessons I learned in the first-half of 2015 and did the same the year before. I’m navigating life in self-discovery mode and somehow
