A Dog’s Best Friend

When I was growing up, one of my favorite movies was Annie. It's a film about a quirky, street-smart orphan who steals the heart of an industrial tycoon named Oliver Warbucks. Eventually, Mr Warbucks adopts Annie, saving her from the orphanage and its gin-loving overseer, Miss Hannigan. It's a feel-good movie/musical where the portrayal of the true underdog of a kid conquers her circumstances and comes out on top. And who doesn't love to cheer for the underdog? … One of the most memorable scenes in the film is when Annie escapes the orphanage and is happily wandering the streets of New York.

Curating Confidence

I remember more than 25 years ago watching Cher virtually select her outfit for the day with the click of a button in Clueless. It became the envy of me and teenage girls everywhere! I remembered thinking, "If I had a tool like that, I could look flawlessly put together just as easily as Cher." … It's 20 years later, and I still don't have a digital wardrobe assistant (bummer, right?!), but I've discovered something even more impactful than Cher's digital closet tool. In 2020, I had "my colors done" by a House of Colour consultant in Fort Worth.

Blessing Tree Farm

It was a beautiful, perfect bluebird sky day. The flowers looked exquisite, and the DJ was ready to play. The four-tier wedding cake seemed too delicious to eat. The most beautiful wedding party was dressed to the nines. Then, the bride walked out of the bridal suite in all her glory in the most stunning wedding gown. Her makeup was flawless, and her hair was in a soft, whimsical updo. Beep! Beep! Beep! I looked all around and couldn’t locate the noise.
