It is so easy to get caught up (and sometimes even trapped!) in negative thoughts and energy. We can, at times, fail to realize that we have the choice as to what perspective we view our daily happenings with. We can choose to let unexpected or less-than-ideal outcomes ruin our moods and our day, or we can look to the light and instead focus on all of the good, positive things that are happening and surrounding us.

At the drop of a hat, our lives can change. Whether it’s a devastating diagnosis or an injury, nothing in this life is promised to us. All we really have is what we have in this very moment.  Nothing else is guaranteed. This is why it is so important that we do our best to keep our bodies and minds healthy so that we can put up the best possible fight when any of these unexpected blows present themselves.

I am beyond thrilled to announce that I have been invited to walk in New York Fashion Week (NYFW)! If you’ve been with me on this journey or if you follow any of my social media accounts, then you know that I have been modeling for quite some time now. This, however, is going to be my first time walking in the prestigious NYFW and I am overjoyed that this longtime dream of mine is actually coming true!
