Always a Happy Place
What if I told you this time of the year used to be my darkest. It felt like the biggest downside to moving to New Mexico was having to leave my South Carolina roots and family traditions behind. Thanksgiving became my “trigger holiday” as I missed the sound of everyone gathering and endless plates of good food. No matter who was upset with whom, on … Continue reading Always a Happy Place
Decor Tip: Framed Greeting Cards
A quick and easy way to store and display your fav or most precious greeting cards is to FRAME them! I received this Blue Mountain card, titled Don’t Ever Lose Sight of the Wonderful Person You Are, in 2014 from my former supervisor/mentor.

A Letter To Society
Dear Society, You can keep your box. For so long I questioned why I didn’t enjoy the monotone, barely there, beige is the new black-modern, minimalist decor aka be like the Kim Kardashian’s of the world. Fact is, I’m more of a Drew Barrymore. A wild flower that doesn’t want to be picked. The things I love most have a story to tell. That rug. … Continue reading A Letter To Society

Motivated By Death

At this moment, life has never felt shorter. As the scripture resonates within my soul, no one knows the day or hour. By … Continue reading Motivated By Death
Bloggin’ Ain’t Easy
Pimpin’ ain’t easy and neither is Bloggin’ When I decided to live true to my creative self, I thought that setting up a blog would be nice and easy. Fast forward a few months later and I haven’t done much… besides posting this blog… on me not having done much! Every so often I have to remind myself that there is no competition. I’m in … Continue reading Bloggin’ Ain’t Easy
Ungracefully Leaping
“Life remains unchanged till a leap of faith runs towards heaven” Life is about taking chances. It is through these leaps of faith that we uncover our strong and successful selves. Moving from South Carolina to New Mexico was definitely not as graceful as I would’ve hoped. Leaving my loved ones to live in an unfamiliar place felt more like a crash-landing. I didn’t have … Continue reading Ungracefully Leaping
