The Art of Being Thrifty
I love a great vintage find! This pink and black print jumpsuit was at Buffalo Exchange for $12. It had a few holes and missing buttons. After examining the inside, I could see it was an unfinished piece someone had given up on. I ended up getting it for $6 because of the damages to it. With a bit of TLC I took it to a seamstress to have elastic put at the bottom of the leg, the holes sealed and buttons added. I'm an 80's baby so it's remnicent to my era and with a few modern pieces of jewelry and accessories it's styled with self expression. To transition into night I would slip on a pair of black heels.

The Art of Remembering
I will never forget... I wasn't living in New York at the time. Here I am 15 years later and now married to an NYC firefighter. 9/11 is etched in my heart forever.

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
