spring prep...

just gotta get this outfit...

and this hair ;)

for your listening enjoyment...

the audio equivalent of ethereal disco...

water drops breaking on the surface of an electric pond

what was i thinking?

how come i didn't show you this sooner?

just had to get a vision out...

i wanted to capture the styling in the atmosphere that inspired it

ft. greene, the brownstones, and the park were the backdrop

camille and dj peter jay were amazing in the piece, yes?

my goal was to do one per month... i'm slacking!

one day i know..

i will have my own version of this...





they create their own world...

the lovely genius of isabel and ruben toledo
i have experienced their blissful partnership

what they have is theirs and it's an absolute masterpiece
their love, their work... it all seems to fuse into one

life wants...

my entire life has changed... this is what my friend and i exclaim to one another when there is extensive time between talks
so... now is say it to you...

my entire life has changed!

(it has been a while since i've shared... tends to be an issue that overflows into my real life and my relationships as well.. but i'm working on it)

what do YOU want?

i pose this question to close friends and to people i am getting to know.. the answer ever-evolving with the growth and experiences of the individual. to most, the answer does not come so easy to what, at first, seems to be a simple question...

for the longest time i desired inner peace... i have it now, and am SO thankful to Him for that. it seemed impossible... but now i have proof that prayers changes things... the battle was in my mind... i won

no.. my life is not perfect and i am far from satisfied.. i still have desires and goals that have yet to be reached but,

I AM AT PEACE & HAPPY

so what do i want? (in no particular order)

to have control of my life and live everyday on purpose.... to know i can do anything i want.. through Him of course

to have the faith, patience and persistence to see it all through

to fall deeply into passionate love and maintain a stable relationship with Him as our center

we partner together on creative and business endeavors and we obtain synergy as a dynamic team

reach a position as a visual manager/director

have income of $100,000 per yr

make/create jewelry, inspiration, art, etc.

be married to the person i described sharing the relationship with me above

own a beautiful home

have the financial comfort/stability to do as i please as far as shopping and travel is concerned

have a site/space to showcase my work

have long curly hair that has grown to the middle of my back.. again patience is neccessary here :)

be a healthy 120-123 lbs.

have 2-3 beautiful, healthy, charismatic children with the brains of creative intellects and a hustler spirit

au naturaule

texture. natural. curly. volume.

i made a change about a month ago. the feathered locks that once adorned my head were my signature. the voluminous strands have gone... giving way for the short curly fro that i have craved for quite some time. my hair is ever-evolving. much like me i suppose. it keeps record...

i changed, so of course it needed to shift as well. i'm moving, doing, going, being, and doing again and again... i was in such a state of comfort. complacent, with a yurning to escape. i did and i'm ecstatic.

change is good. delicious even.

there is a community surrounding this transition. the natural girls are love and they share it with you. like a secret society when you see them, and they you.. they acknowledge.

it warm.
it's brooklyn.
i can't get enough.

these images keep me inspired... the stages are going to be miraculous..
i can't wait...

so adorable...

i saw this some time ago and in NO WAY am i near this part of my life

but...

is this not the most adorable thing you have ever seen?
