I See...


Mirror, Mirror on the wall
I stare in you and watch tears fall
As I try to convince myself of my worth
I try to convince myself that Im enough
MORE than enough

Mirror, Mirror showing my scars
Pinpointing all my flaws
Should I even look at you anymore
Should I even allow you to see me
To see ALL of me?

Mirror, Mirror Look away
I’ll refund you the attention you paid
Let me stand here in my skin
Allow me to look at myself
Every inch of this frame

Mirror, Mirror look at me
I dont need you to see
The true beauty that I encompass 
The perfect imperfections that make
ME 
that shape
ME

I will stare you down and win 
Never will you steal my confidence again
I will see what is really there
Not the image you portray

I see ME
and I see my WORTH
and I see what you tried to do
Im watching you, Mirror

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...

Make Your Ugly Christmas Sweater Fabulous

It seems as if you cant go anywhere without seeing an Ugly Christmas Sweater section. Even Walmart has a set up! Everyone is preparing for all of the parties with this wonderfully unattractive theme. Ive even been invited to one this year. So, its time for us to pull out the best of our worst in our sweater collection. Keep in mind, just because your sweater is supposed to be "ugly" doesnt mean the rest of your look cant be fabulous. Here are a few looks to help you get ready for the #UglyChristmasSweater season! Be fabulously "ugly"! Love, Coco #CocosChaos #HappyHolidays

Whats Up With Coco?

Halfway through my final semester of undergrad! (insert applause and cheers here) I am counting down the days and keeping my eye on the prize! Business plans, papers and tests have kept my mind going! Im telling you, I am so ready to have that degree handed to me on May 18th. All my blood, sweat, and tears (literally) will finally seem worth it. I already have my cap, gown, graduation dress/shoes, and I am currently planning the after-graduation celebration! I. AM. READY!           7 weeks of class left & 70 days til graduation! Yesterday I was able to register for my first 3 grad school classes! That was surreal. Grad school definitely was not on my "To-Do" list! However, the closer I got to my last semester, the more I realized I still needed to learn more so that I could feel more prepared for the "real world". Well, that extra learning will begin on May 14th. Yes, 4 days before my undergrad graduation I will begin grad school...
