WINNER of Best Picture! I can’t even remember the last time I fell in love with a movie like I have with this. It seems every time I hear an ill word it’s from someone who hasn’t even seen it and don’t plan to. This should shut them up. (Taken with instagram)

My bad days are few and far between, but they do still come, the difference is, now, I can step away from my bubble and look at each day, good or bad, as a blessing. Even at their worst they are nothing compared to what they were. I was never able to get out of my own head before. (I have medication and loads of therapy to thank for that (and beaucoup hard work!)) If I had never hit that pothole yesterday, I would not be able to appreciate the amazing day that today was, nor would I appreciate the friends and family that are my backbone. It was the little things that made the last twenty-four hours so special. And good news is approaching on the job front! I’m finally getting an honest chance to follow my dreams. It’s ‘bout damn time.

I said it before but Ill say it again:

2010: my life fall apart.
2011: I painstakingly put it back together again.
2012: I’m making it my bitch.

This year is promising and beautiful. I feel refreshed and renewed. I put the past behind me last year and I got nothing but clear skies ahead. Eat my dust. Watch me shine.

My goals for this year include:

  • work in a confectionery!
  • learn how to drive
  • acquire a passport
  • visit Niagara Falls (the Canadian side!)
  • refresh my digital life, found HERE
  • read more books
  • get healthy, lose pounds
  • learn how to cook
  • move into my own apartment
  • get good grades
  • let my photography shine
  • breathe New Orleans
  • express gratitude every single day

Where’s love you might ask? Love is a way of life.

Ain’t gonna rush it.

I’m already following through with almost all my goals. Now if only someone would bring my bestie back from Thailand already! Counting the days!

Meet the Lytro.

This is the most BAD-ASS thing to happen to photography since the world went digital. It’s a promise this will be in my hands soon, it’s due time for a new toy!

It’s time for cat message!

I usually don’t post videos like this (or even watch videos like this for that matter) but after the dinner I had I needed some laughter and this put a smile on my face, I just had to share it!

I also need to get a little rant off my chest: “I love you” might have slipped out of my mouth but what I meant to say was “go fuck yourself.” Forgiveness heals MY soul, it wasn’t for you. Don’t get it twisted, you are not welcome in my life. I’m a grown ass woman now who doesn’t worship the ground you walk on, crazy, eh?

It’s been a while since I have really been tested and I must admit, I pulled through like a champ. I needed that, now I can wash my hands clean. Another one bites the dust. (introducing me to Queen was the only good thing you ever did for me).

Meet the new member of our family: Lola! I surprised my family, some member are happier than others. They&#8217;ll come around; how could you not with a face like this?! (Taken with instagram)
