You know when you get so comfortable in life, like you’re just sailing along…then, all of a sudden, a hurricane comes out of nowhere and flips your world upside down? What started as the week from hell for me has mellowed out into a “calm after the storm” type situation. So, needless to say, I’m reaching for my creature comforts in my outfits lately – a.k.a leather joggers, sweatshirts, backpacks, and of course black and white. To expand…things haven’t really been going my way lately (as is life, I guess), but I’ve come to realize that things can always be worse. It’s all about perspective and how you respond to the challenges you’re faced with – you can sulk in a corner and dwell in your negative emotions or you can better yourself and actually get something from the situation. Seriously…when life hands you lemons – make a damn lemon meringue pie!
