 , 


For those of us who are endlessly seeking the answers to life's infinite questions, it can sometimes seem as if the joke is on us. After all, the questions keep coming even if we find an answer to a previous uncertainty, which makes you wonder, why should we keep seeking? Why not settle with the answers we know and find peace with the unknown?

Fair questions, each one, but I can't help but accept, based on the progress my life has gone through that while we may never find an end to our quest, our quest will lead us down a path that is with each answer more in tune with what we seek, who we truly are and what we truly need to be genuinely fulfilled. 

Sometimes we think we know what will make us happy only to have what we thought was a certainty pulled out from underneath us and removed entirely, leaving us a puddle on the floor for a moment until we can gather ourselves. In such moments, the hindsight that will eventually reveal to us why such an event happened isn't available to us, so we must trust that the universe has a grand plan that may just be better than we thought we were going to be enjoying. 

Now mind you, life doesn't give out free-rides, absolutely not. But what it does permit us is the lifting of curtains if we have the courage to keep striving forward, picking ourselves up and dusting ourselves off. Such responses to set-backs aren't easy, and you might need to reach out for a hand of a friend or family member to pull you back onto your feet, but believe it or not, life does improve so long as we don't let our confidence and self-worth become weakened.

After all, such events wouldn't happen if you weren't strong enough to withstand them. Think about this life truth during those moments of doubt. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I've been knocked down more times than I can count, but the benefits always materialize after I pick myself back up and choose to strive forward.

In this week's newsletter, a new denim trend is the talk of Style Inspiration, and with the most recent podcast episode talking about the power of our minds and perspective, be sure to tune in to turn your not-so-perfect life into a life that is beyond expectation simply with the shift of your perceived reality. 

I do hope you have a wonderful weekend. Whether you are perusing through periodicals, losing yourself in a delightful book or traveling to and fro with those you love, may you enjoy the time doing exactly as you please. Until next week, I'll see you on the blog.
