A Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime?

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty;
to provide you with guidance and support;
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;
things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person,
and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Two Ways: Leopard Print Top

Here we go again with the leopard print! But today, I'm sharing two ways to wear it. : )

For a more casual day look, I think denim shorts and brown boots are the best fit to go with, don't you think?

...and for a night out, you can add a little glam with a touch of Gold... : )

I also wore neutral brown color bracelets to tone down the golden tones –just don't want to end up looking too... bling-y! :p

p.s. You can get both the vintage and metallic bag at GOWIGASA new arrivals. Stay tuned! ; )

A Pop of Neon

Just one of those lazy Mondays...

I put on my new favorite floral pants from ZARA again and again –Truth be told, I don't really like wearing pants, but these ones are REALLY comfortable! Was going to be all black and white today, but then I remembered this pink neon sweater from GOWIGASA, and there you go! A pop of neon :D
