I hope you had a great weekend and a great Valentine's (or Galentine's Day)!  I had fun plans to have a Galentine's Day with one of best girl friends, but a "brief" nap at 8 killed those plans.  Let's just say I woke up around 1 AM.  Oops!  In some ways it was fitting to spend Valentine alone.  The last few years have thrown some curveballs (much of it stemming from a job where I was really unhappy)  at me that really knocked my confidence and made me doubt myself.  This year, I finally feel like I'm starting to find my groove and love the relationship I have with myself, not in a conceited way, but in a more confident way.  I know it will always be a work in process and I'm excited to keep working on my relationship with myself, but I'm really happy with where I am now.

How was your weekend?

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

  16. Good for you! I wish I could get to that place of confidence. I'm trying though. A lot of it has to do with getting healthier with eating and working out. It really does help a mood. To the outift! Perfection. You look so good in a hat and (almost) all black.

  24. I love the fur vest, it breaks up the all black perfectly! I took an accidental nap like that once - so horrible! What do you do when you wake up feeling ready to start fresh only to realize that it's still the middle of the night?
