Thank U, Next


2018 was a beautiful year filled with many accomplishments. When I was 17 years old, I made a mental list of accomplishments that I desired to have by my mid-twenties. By the grace of God, that list if almost filled. The majority of those accomplishments required me to put in my time, energy, and most importantly discipline. This year I earned my first master's degree, went on my first cruise to Cozumel, Mexico and The Grand Cayman Islands, and I went 365 days without eating any meat.  That last one took a lot of self-control because I used to love getting a Big Zax Snack Meal from Zaxby's or a Bojangles Chicken Finger Supreme combo. This coming year, I may decide to incorporate salmon back into my diet just because it can be very beneficial to the body.

The pictures below are just a collection of photos that summed up my life in 2018:)

I wore this dress on repeat all summer to the point where I uploaded to my Poshmark store ;)haha
I went out a few times this year, but I plan to have way more fun. All work and no play is not living!
The day after my friend's (co-workers) Charleston wedding, I went down to Folly Beach to walk in the sand and eat at a "beach- front- restaurant". 
The accomplishment that made my parents very proud, and made me feel empowered as a woman.
"Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise, in every society, in every family"- Kofi Annan. One of my favorite quotes.

I am leaving you with this bible verse from Proverbs 16:9 "The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps". Remember this scripture as you go forth into the new year.

Stay blessed,
