Where Have I Been?
Hey Friends!
It feels like forever since I’ve posted a blog. What can I say? Life is lifing…
Life has definitely changed for me, some good and some bad. The good or shall I say the great is that I’m now married. We’re actually celebrating 6 months of marriage. We are halfway there to our 1 year anniversary. I love being married. It’s definitely different from my norm, but I love it. Could be because I’m married to an amazing man that I know my dad would have loved to have as a son-in-law.
The wedding was absolutely amazing. I wanted to blog while going through the wedding process, but obstacles prevented me from doing that. I still plan on blogging about my wedding as I believe it can be a good resource for others planning their wedding.
Another good is that we went not on 1, but 3 honeymoons (or as I like to call them: minimoon, honeymoon and finale moon). I look forward to blogging about that as well.
Oh I almost forgot, we went to Cancun, Fiji and Paris…
One more good thing, I’m a dog mom to a wonderful and cute chocolate Lab, Wally. He is my husband’s dog and now mine. Those of you that know me knows that I was extremely terrified of dogs. Somehow Wally changed that for me.
I will blog more about my newfound love for this amazing dog.
Now onto the not so good…
I have not reopened by Jewelry business to date. It has been 2 years. As you may know, I put a hold on my business when my dad went into the hospital and after he passed away, I was not motivated to make jewelry .
I have every intention on reopening my online jewelry boutique in the next month or two. After knowing how proud my dad was of me starting my business, I must do this.
I also put campaigns on hold to focus on the wedding, family issues and just my overall mental health. Those of us in the social media world knows that is not a good move. Pausing social media for a period of time, definitely sets you back. I’ve started working on a few campaigns again. However, it sometimes feel as if I’m starting over again.
And of course the main not so good is not having my dad. It’s been 2 years since he went to Heaven and I am still in disbelief. Not a day goes by that I’m wishing that this was all a bad dream and my dad is really still here. I don’t believe in time heals all wounds because I’m still in pain…
God bless my daddy. He is now an angel watching over us. My saint, my angel, my daddy, the first man I ever loved…
Until next time my friends 💋
Is this Really New Jersey 😲
Hey my friends!
Let me first put out this disclaimer, I am an island girl…born in St. Croix, USVI. Ok, so I’ve been living in NJ since I was three years old, so some would say I’m more of a Jersey girl (P.S. I completely disagree with that). Anyhow, I say all of that to say that I have spent most of my life so far living in Jersey. And believe or not, until this past week, I have never been to the beaches on the shore. Shocking right???
What was more shocking for me is how pleasantly surprised I was to see how beautiful it actually was. My friend goes to the beach all the time and since I didn’t get to go anywhere this summer due to my surgery and recovery process, she invited me to spend the day at the beach…sort of a staycation. I wasn’t too excited about going at first. For one, I just never had any interest in the jersey shore beaches. If I wanted to go to the beach, I would go to an island. And secondly, I’m just not beach ready. I still have my scar which is very visible and still not completely healed. So I decided, “what the heck, just go.” And I’m glad that I did…
