It's been a while since I have wrote on my blog and by the title of this you can tell that there's a story behind it.
As of April 30th, I made the move (back) from Florida to Virginia. Packed what we had and said goodbye to the Sunshine State. Please it was not by choice! [super sad face].
Not too long after the move, after providing me with over five years of service, my White Unibody MacBook died on me ;( RIP MacBook. You took me places I never new including transitioning from the PC to Apple world.
Since then I have been working Part-time at JCPenney and just trying to make the best of life. Hence I have been handed lemons so I can either suck it up or continue to build from it. I was excited that I did get my #VowVoxBox in the mail the other day! Oww, Oww! I was excited to receive the new Olay Regenerist Luminous Tone Perfecting cream, a Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure nail polish in Barracuda, an offer code for Riley & Grey, Pure Silk Moisturizing Shave cream, an EcoTools Pure Complexion sponge, and a Tide to Go Pen. This was my first BIG box I received and I am so grateful for +Influenster for all that they do and share with us so I can share with others!
Other than that life has been a complete....you fill in the rest. I am thankful for what I have: a roof over my head, food to eat, a job even when it doesn't pay much, and family support. Those are my lemons...the things that strengthen me the most to keep pushing into life.
I came up with a quote a few weeks ago when spirit was talking to me: "Struggles are real but are the most appreciated times of your life. Be open to nothing because you will always have something." My somethings are my family, friends, food, shelter, support, strength, anything positive that will keep me going is my something.
What is yours?
