I've found some sense of being in this place. Once again recognizing the feeling of my own hands building up a life I've forgotten to keep dreaming of. Dreams that got lost somewhere between the realities of existing, and the actuality that I'm a part of it; a part of the realness of living. That thought has left my mind a bit more naked, more raw, less sheltered; I've learned to hold onto that nakedness and embrace the absolute vulnerability that comes with it. Within vulnerability lies the potential for beautiful and triumphant breakthroughs. I'm beginning to see that when I get tossed into that place of fear, when things don't feel right, there's an opportunity for acceptance, acceptance for myself, and for my situation and where I'm at. I can know that what I'm feeling and what I'm doing is absolutely and perfectly correct. And when I can accept all that is without trying to control or change it, I can let go, which only makes a big pathway for the good to come. It's a process that I'm learning to appreciate slowly, because it is pretty magnificent in the whole scheme of things.

Here's a casual Wednesday look. This outfit is something I feel totally and absolutely comfortable in. I could wear it anywhere and feel ready for anything. This leather jacket was given to me by Dad a couple Christmas' ago, and with his passing this previous year, it's become something I really treasure. I feel so grateful to have something so amazing like this leather jacket to remember him, along with other things, but this is definitely one of my favorites. I love a good head to toe black outfit, especially when I can wear my bowlers cap. The Free People top really helped to give the look a softer touch with the little bit of sparkle. Not to mention these amazing cat eye glasses that give it some femininity.
