Hey. I hope all is well in your world. We are at the end of yet another month and I hope you were able to change and learn a few things that propel you into the next portion of the year.

I find myself in a particularly weird space as the time to uproot and replant is approaching, quickly. It’s not a bad thing at all. It is a very surreal thing for me. As the days roll by, it has finally set in that I will be leaving what i call home for a new set up in less than a few days. Stepping away from what i have built and my comfort zone and my village is a bit frightening. I feel as though its time and everything around me is showing me that it is time. The arrangements are amazing and I get to bring my pup. That is always a major issue for me, because i was not going anywhere without my Peanut Butter Big Drip. If you know of me, then you know that. She is my fur baby. ❤️

Come on look at us. Could you really separate that.

This is all reminiscent of my past. I have packed up and crossed state lines to live before, at 14 🥲. In actuality its the same path but with different components. I moved from Lafayette, La. to Houston, Texas as a child heading right into highschool because things became “complex” with my home life. I find myself taking this leap at 31 as a woman following her dreams, leaving a complete and familiar home at this point. I feel as though i have hit some sort of cap in this area. Underwhelmed creatively. Although I am progressing a lot as a person, I find myself stagnant in a few categories. When it gets to this point, a change in scenery seems like the best avenue to take for a difference. The opportunities are presenting themselves more everyday. Ironically, I will still be sharing space with my super supportive family members in Texas and it feels like a safe haven to have them at any time, but for sure, during this time. Not to mention a few friends that I hold near from high school, college, and the adventurous bunch that moved from Lafayette to Houston a few years ago. Reconnections, balance, and consistency are what I feel may be ahead.

I could sit here and tell you all of the things i am planning to change, and knowing me, I’m going to try to stick to a few positive upgrades to my daily life. I know from the last 5 months of back and forth across state lines that i have no actual idea what a day will look like once I’m there. Essentially, I don’t know anything. Just wading in the water. Not saying that with any negative connotations. I’m just here basking in the favor and picking the flowers that have grown from the seeds I planted a long time ago. I’m grateful.

I wrote the previous post on March 31st and instead of completely switching around my perspective, I let my previous self be heard. Hope you made it here.

Today is 4/20 and I have foolishly decided to post an update about where I am in life. Here goes. At this stage I’m currently still attempting to catch my footing in a new space. Houston is great tho. The mall has had its grand opening. I’m building a clientele just being a fixture in the storefront as a seamstress. Every weekend has been filled with events thrown and experienced. I even enjoyed an evening with a few ladies I met in that same morning virtually. I have somehow been established as a seamstress, designer, painter, light bartender, teacher, and a few other things in my short time of 18 days here. It’s been a whirlwind of a journey and still going. On Tuesday we will be showing casing at a fashion show at a fairly known venue. I’m short of words but long in visuals today. I hope you enjoy this literal dump of the last few weeks of my life.
