Accepting Yourself

Blessings to All,

I had a busy week this week.  Yesterday, I threw my sister a baby shower for her first child.  It was beautiful.  Although things didn't go as plan like me arriving 45 minutes late, but the shower was really nice.  It is hard to plan something for someone who is totally picky about what they eat.  My sister doesn't eat deli meat (that eliminates sandwiches), she only eats chicken breast, and she can't have certain cheeses.  So we end up serving pizza from a stone oven, Italian sodas, pasta salad, meatballs, fried chicken breast tenders, and a fruit tray.  Everyone was pleased.  Her colors were purple and purple.  I even went as far to wear a shade of purple.  I looked really cute.  I bought a blouse from my favorite store of course, Ann Taylor www.anntaylor.com and some leather leggings from Neiman Marcus.  I was rocker chic.  I finished the look with some Cole Hahn leather boots that blended in with the leggings.  After the day winded down, I reflected on how happy everyone was and how proud I am of my sisters.  I have watched them grow into two beautiful young ladies with families of their own.

I am so thankful for my life. I have a job that I love, a family, and friends that love me as well.  I took the day to clean out some of the paper clutter in my life and found a quote that  I written down on December 31, 2010:

Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel

Good Evening All, This week has been rather hectic.  Dealing with family issues and job interviews at the same time.  All is good and the Creator is in charge.  I had purchased a Dooney and Bourke bag about two months ago to store my keys, ipod and identification when I workout at the gym. The bag wasn't a great choice and I end up exchanging the bag for a Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel in gray. At first I didn't really like the Janine Satchel because of the size.  I love big bags; however since I have lost over 20 pounds, big bags are starting to overwhelm my stature.  I wanted a gray bag because I wear a lot of gray outfits and have been unable to find the perfect gray bag.  There are many different shades of gray that tend to be a little taupe or have a bluish undertone.  This bag is more on the heather gray side with the beige vachetta accent. It is the perfect bag for the warmer months.  The leather reminds me of the Prada S...

Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue

Good Morning All, I have been enjoying this nice Chicago weather we have.  It has been around 70-80 degrees for almost two weeks now.  It is kind of creepy.  I went to Culver's yesterday to get one of my favorite treats, a three scoop lemon Ice and while in the drive through I see a big bumblebee.  Spring is definitely in the air.  I am waiting for the ball to drop.  Will we be getting 6 inches of snow in May?  Anyways, I got a new bag.  Well, I exchanged a bag that I had bought about two months ago for this bag.  It is the Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue.  I had purchased this bag in white/tan for the spring and had a change of heart.  I like white bags; however, they don't wear well.  Eventually they will get some kind of color transfer from denim or they will yellow overtime. I have a Chloe and Marc Jacobs bag that did that.  Well, the bag in my opinion is not royal blue in person.  It is ...

Happy New Years 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                               . Blessings to All,  It has been a long time coming for this post. The last time I blogged was back in May 2014.  Fast forward to January 1, 2015.  I am very happy to see another year.  I am so glad that 2014 is in the past.  Today is a time to look forward to new opportunities.  On my agenda this year is to get better and wiser.  I am on the path of eliminating baggage out of my life. I am very much interested in the minimalist movement.  A minimalist voluntarily simplifies their life.  It can include buying less things, reducing consumption, working less, and even eliminating toxic things from your life.  I always admired the Japanese culture.  They practice minimalism; however some may argue that is due ...
