Simply Summer: Dress + Denim Jacket + Sandals

Hello, hello. How is everyone holding up this week? Personally, the past few days have been pretty rough (hence the lack of blog posts). At the forefront of my mind, of course, like most Americans, is Orlando. I still can't wrap my mind around this tragedy. I have family and friends who live there. I went to college just two hours away. I spent many, many weekends visiting my sister in Orlando when she lived there... It just hits really close to home. I can't fathom how someone could have so much hatred in them. Moments like this remind us how important it is to take care of and love each other - and not just our family and friends. We need to show love for our neighbors, coworkers, people in the checkout line at the grocery store - everyone deserves love. Everyone has the possibility to make the world a better place. Those innocent people and their families did not and do not deserve this. It's not much to offer, but I hope they can take solace in the fact that they are all in our thoughts - all throughout the world.

This week reminded me that being a real life, responsibility-ridden, working adult can be tough sometimes. We had two separate floods in our house [yes, you read the correctly -- two entirely separate incidents from pipes in our house that resulted in huge floods inside our home] over the past week, and now the backside of our house is currently torn apart and wide open from a cracked pipe in our kitchen wall. Needless to say, these occurrences have been the source of many recent headaches; however, none of these trivial "problems" are really problems at all when I get my mind in the proper perspective and realize just how lucky I am to even have a roof over my head and a house (albeit one that is currently a disaster) to complain about. Makes me thank my lucky stars.
