Feeling like my old self...

Where do I even begin?  I have been on hiatus since October...honestly, I've been working on getting back into my mojo and getting back to my regular self.  It has NOT been an easy road.  See, I know and fully believe the purpose God has for me, but why does fulfilling my purpose have to be so daggone stressful?  A little work-life balance, anyone?  So I took the past couple of months to woooosah and a few great people helped me realize, 1) I have to honor where God has placed me, 2) people actually NEED me to be myself, and 3) I am the light and should set the tone of any group I'm in.  So, thanks be to God (and those people He sent to talk to me), now I'm back and better than ever.

Anyway...so I was still taking pics of my outfits during my time away, so I'll post a few highlights below.
