making it work

My attempt at being crafty, taking these boyfriend vintage RALPH LAUREN jeans and patching them up with fabric swatches. I don't really sew but I was determined to make this project work. That's the thing about determination when you really want something that bad you make it work no matter what obstacles may come your way.  I always say when there's a problem there's a solution and if the first one doesn't work out you try until the second or fourth does work. The goal is to not give up and keep on keeping on! 

white out

I love an all white outfit but hate that 80 percent of the time I'll end up with some sort of stain on either garment. 

After all the searching I finally landed a job! Trying to juggle priorities alongside work is quite the task at hand. I'm learning so much already and it's only my second week. It feels so nice to finally get back into the swing of things of putting myself out there. It was a bit scary but nothing that deep breaths and mantras can't fix!

I AM SO THANKFUL & BLESSED WITH A NEW EXCITING CHALLENGING OPPORTUNITY. I AM GRATEFUL TO BE DOING WHAT I LOVE. PLEASE GUIDE ME ON THE PATH TO SUCCESS AND HUMBLE ME LORD. I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN LED TO THIS POINT IN MY LIFE WITHOUT HAVING FAITH IN YOUR PLAN FOR ME.
  

sleep

My best friend inspired me to write this little piece. While hanging out at my house she decided to take a nap so I took it as an opportunity to write. She started to snore (lol) and it made me think about sleep and being at peace from all the worries we carry from day to day.

SLEEP

Her body was tense and something was weighing heavy on her heart. She couldn't pin point what but she wasn't at ease. She crawled into bed and focused on her deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling slowly. She started to finally relax. The tension and all her worries rose from her body and floated up above her. She felt the heaviness of her eyelids fluttering back and forth. After putting up a fight they shut close. Nothing could harm her now she was at peace. 

lost

She's lost all sense of direction. She's lost her way, her path. To go left, to go right, up or down. She lays in bed searching for goals to reach..Seeking for something tangible and real. She wants to feel again something other than brokenness..She's stronger than she thinks she is..She's stronger than the cross she bears.. There's nothing but fear standing in her way.. There's so much she has to give to the world she has so much to say..She wants to love herself more than anything or anyone..This is the goal and her journey has already begun. 

MAY I FIND PEACE WITHIN MYSELF, PLEASE GIVE ME STRENGTH TO GET BETTER PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY. HELP ME LET GO AND LET YOU IN  TO BE MY GUIDE BECAUSE LORD I MAY NOT KNOW BUT YOU KNOW.
