First And Last

This is the first post I have written this year and probably will be my last for awhile. Here's why:

I HAVE A NEW JOB!! :-)

My new job is wonderful (so far...its only been four days! LOL) and I am learning a lot of information because I am in a higher position than I am used to and its a new company for me. So, a big chunk of my life is revolving around this new place right now. I want to give my all and maintain my high spirits & positivity so that I dont have a repeat of that last job (see: And Then The Bottom Fell Out...). I am determined to succeed here and advance as much as possible. Well, at least until my rich husband comes along to sweep me off my feet and into the life of a Real Housewife.

Also, I am still working on my Masters. Things got a little tough for a bit there but I pushed through it. Im still pushing through! I have a semester or two left before I will add Masters degree to my list of accomplishments. *pats self on back*

On top of that, I am helping my mom plan her wedding and my sister is convinced I am her personal seamstress/wardrobe stylist, so I am working on different "projects" for her.

So I am a busy, creative mess right now! LOL Once I get a hang of things and I am able to manage my life a little more I will be back!

So stay tuned for more of my life and its randomness! Also, read Philippians 4:13 and live by it! (Prayer works!)


Love,
Coco

Its Spring!...Kinda.

Depending on where you are in the country and what day of the week it is, Winter is making its exit and Spring is sashaying in. Gone are the days of covering up as much skin as possible to avoid the savage chill of winter's wrath. Now, we can bask in the warmth of the sun and the cool breezes of Springtime. According to my calendar, Spring "officially" started about a week ago. If you are lucky enough to live in a place that has seen a rise in temperatures and the return of the sun, this post is for you! If your area's temperatures havent quite gotten that "Its Spring!" memo yet, I'm sorry. Maybe you can think happy, warm thoughts and use this post as inspriation as you daydream about the warm weather ensembles you will debut when the temperature catches up to the calendar.  I, for one, am very excited about Spring. I love any weather that allows me to either particiapte in #SundressSeason or wear my go-to jeans and a cute tank and sandals. I really love...

Starting With The Woman In The Mirror

        Ive “let myself go” recently... havent pampered myself or put much effort into my outward appearance for awhile because I was uncomfortable with my “new body”. I didnt know how to be Courtney anymore because I didnt feel like Courtney anymore. The girl that had hundreds of clothing items has had her closet reduced to a few things that “fit” and a few others she cant bring herself to part with (the local Goodwill dropoff bay has seen me often this year).  Im tired of looking in the mirror and not feeling my best. Im tired of just being “okay” with the way I look.  Im done being insecure, unsure of myself & weighed down (no pun intended) by the extra pounds. I have to love myself no matter what size I wear. No matter what the scale says.  Changes are happening. Mentally. Physically. Emotionally. Im changing. Im caring again. Im going to love myself again. Inside and out. Get ready for a comeback! ...

My Resurrection

On March 19, 2017, I took a huge step in my spiritual journey. I walked into a baptism pool, lowered myself into the holy water, and allowed my mind, spirit, heart and body to be cleansed. I rose up from the water with a new outlook. I was ready to embark on the next steps of my journey as a baptized woman. A year later, I am reflecting upon the 365 plus days since my baptism and I am amazed by the growth I've experienced. Was the journey easy? Absolutely not. Was it easier to face the battles and adversity after renewing my relationship with God? Absolutely. I have constantly been reminded that God never said weapons wouldn't form. He said they wouldn't prosper (Isaiah 54:17) . I hit some bumps in the road (spiritually, financially, mentally, and physically). I went through a short season of confusion and lack of motivation. I was angry with God. I yelled at Him! (Ever seen me yelling and upset? Then you know this wasn't cute!) Literally, ye...
