Ciao, Beautiful People,

Today is my mother’s heavenly birthday. She is forever in my heart, and I thank the Lord for having her in my life. I know that my mother and my grandmother inspired my fashion and stylish creativity. My mother did not take many pictures. I do not have any photos taken with her; so I cherish the images I have attained. I am not sure why she didn’t like taking pictures, but we all have those quirks about us. I still have the French provincial couch that she is sitting on, the end table in the view, the lamp, and a few other treasures.

My mother instilled My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, faith, strength, wisdom, compassion, and integrity in me. These values are goals that make me a lifelong learner striving to grow each and everyday.
