today, march 18th, 2025 I will begin again. AGAIN…..

It’s been months (i think) since I’ve felt good and wanted to go in my closet; this little funk has been hard to conquer. I want to blame to the cold winter months and lack of sun, but honestly I think I’ve been Mourning some sense of youth I think I find in clothes! SIDE NOTE: I hit the ripe age of forty-nine while conquering the reminiscent feelings of my kidney cancer diagnosis ten years ago. My style, my closet, THE WORLD really haven’t been speaking to me lately. The joy I normally feel when I wear something fun and chaotic now seems daunting and stressful. Is this another goddamn burnout?

I hit the snooze button four times this morning and went to work in sweatpants, again. No shower, no washed hair, no will to put myself together; Just sweatpants and my coffee getting a job done.. I have been working nonstop, with tons of travel days, for six months with very little downtime. Although grateful, thankful, blessed…. I know, without a doubt, my body and mind need rest, reset, and inspiration. I want to walk in my closet, scroll through Pinterest, or my favorite stores and see something eye catching that brings back that spark.

Normally I would begin a new goal on the first, a Monday, or a full moon for the sake of my silly brain needing structure. To be perfectly honest I do not think that has ever served any purpose other than procrastination.

So here is my commitment:

tomorrow on a random Wednesday in the middle of March a new journey will start.
