I QUIT: Stepping out on Faith
Just a few minutes ago I handed off two signed papers to my boss, announcing that on June 29th 2012 I will be leaving my job. Its bittersweet because while I’m quite fond of the people I work with and have done and IMMENSE amount of growing here, it is time that I move on and pursue my dreams.
I’ve never done anything like this before. Though I appear to have the spontaneity and ease...

Anonymous asked: Hi! I'm in love with your blog :) I brought this blue velvet jacket on a local thrift store and I wanted to know what kind of thing would go with it.. I have this cocktail thing coming up and I thought about a leopard printed mini dress with some jeffrey campbell's.. But if I wanted to dress it more casually, what do you suggest?

Poem: Those Winter Sundays
One of my favorite poems from Robert Hayden. I always feel a twinge of emotion at the final line. Being that young and not realizing or having the capacity to understand what a mother’s/father’s love is, it resonates with me. Thoughts?
Sundays too my father got up early And put his clothes on in the blueback cold, then with cracked hands that ached from labor in the weekday weather...
