2014 wasn't one of my best years, it was stressful for the most part with a few good events sprinkled here and there. I'm not sorry to see 2014 go and I pray that 2015 isn't as hard on me. But such is life and the key to living with these dramatic ups and downs is resilience. I'm working on building mine up. It's taking a lot of prayer, a lot of wine and a whole lot of retail therapy.

November was a very trying month for me, besides my grandmother dying, our little Coconut had another relapse and became anemic again, and on top of that I burned my hand - (second degree!) trying to be fabulous and wax my eyebrows.  Note: Do not use at home wax kits.
