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 now keep this card framed with a photo of me in primary school. These are the words I needed to hear … Continue reading Decor Tip: Framed Greeting Cards

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

It’s the attempted delivery of a compliment but once received we don’t quite know where to put the Thank You!

Life Lessons

For the past 6 months I’ve been completing what should have been a 5-day inspirational plan titled How Do I Find My Calling? This plan helped me to dig deep and reach the surface of my insecurities. A much needed soul cleansing. I’ve decided to share the plan and a few of my responses. Question: If you could do anything you wanted to do, you … Continue reading Life Lessons

Motivated By Death

As I travel to say my goodbyes to my dear uncle who suddenly passed away from pancreatic cancer, I can’t help but notice all the empty promises I have made, the to-do list I never finished and the dreams I half accomplished. 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

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
