I've always been fond of writing, it's something I started when I was in 9th grade. I wrote because it was an outlet for me. It allowed me to visually see my thoughts on paper, hear them aloud when I read them to myself, and absorb how my words really made me feel and if my thoughts truly matched my heart.

"I enjoy writing, learning, reading, listening, and sharing, but I never thought I would be back to doing something that I never realized I missed."

I recently found myself suddenly writing again. This time around, I used it for the same reason, an outlet, but topics that I think about are now different. I enjoy writing, learning, reading, listening, and sharing, but I never thought I would be back to doing something that I never realized I missed. It's funny how life can throw you a curve ball that knocks you off your feet, sending you rolling down a hill, only to discover you landed in a beautiful place in life, unharmed, on your feet, and happy.

"I then realized I had something to do with all of these thoughts I had swirling around in my head...write them down and share them!"

I recently had a family emergency with my mom, a topic I will later talk about in details in my next blog. This family emergency allotted me time to sit and write while waiting around the hospital. It was during those days the wheels in my head started to turn. I never thought about blogging. Matter of fact, I never looked into a style blog, beauty blog, or any other type of blogs, until my excitement for writing started to rebirth. Out of the few blogs I visited, it was the lifestyle blogs that resonated with me. I then realized I had something to do with all of these thoughts I had swirling around in my head...write them down and share them! So that's when it became official, I was going to reignite an old flame called writing and start blogging.

"With all that was going on with my mom, and all the changes that were to follow when my mom came home...I needed this, I needed this to keep me balanced!"

My sister is also involved in this journey and will occasionally share her thoughts too. After all, she is the caramel to the mocha! I was so excited to tell my her what I had up my sleeve, but when I did, she was not filled with joy like I was. Actually, she was not thrilled with my decision at all. As if my plate wasn't full enough, yes I wanted to take on more. She gives me her usual “my sister has lost her mind" look, and questioned my desire for wanting to do this too. With all that was going on with my mom, and all the changes that were to follow when my mom came home, my sister then understood. I needed this, I needed this to keep me me balanced! Then I had to tell her she would be coming along for this ride too. She had no choice! I needed my BFF! She was not amused at all, but thank goodness she did not take much convincing. So here we are sharing our likes and thoughts with you. I hope you all find our topics, stories, and life lessons to be funny, inspiring, and encouraging.
