Quilted Kors are in! Now, I know you have a lot of things to carry… after all your are the everyday woman on the Go. We have to. You have paperwork from the office, our make up bags and Our everyday Daily use of things. Once I found a box of crayons in my bag! This I know is the perfect bag. It yells POWER, Space and Comfort. How can you not be comfy with this bag? I love it!
So Yesterday my Boyfriend asked the question any girl wants to hear…
“Babe, what do you want for your birthday, make a list?” And My simple answer was:” to be fine, ok and you to be the same.” Then he said, “for reals babe, SOMETHING.” OMGoodness I melted! I’ve been waiting like 100 years (29) to hear this question… and I melted. I hope you understand me on this one. I don’t ask for things…when it comes to me. I am use to getting everything on my own. I even asked “whats my budget” and then he said “what kind of question is that?… just make a list babe” *melting all over again*
So of course I had no idea what to ask for… And then! I found this:

Gucci Marrakech Medium Hobo Bag ( yes I’m a girl and love gucci with out the GGGG all over the bag)
Simple, great for a girl on the “go” and So soft… I loved it.
And along with it all I added this to my list….LOL You will laugh.
1. Gucci Marrakech Medium Hobo Bag ( yes I’m a girl and love gucci with out the GGGG all over the bag) See above
2. Jane Taylor ‘Twinkle’ Cushion Stone & Pavé Diamond and Topaz (Birthstone ring) Size 8.
4. ProForm 790E Elliptical with a set of Dumbbells 2lbs-5lbs (working out!!! )
5. Sony Bravia 32″ Class LCD 720p 60Hz HDTV, KDL-32BX300 (for my bedroom)
I love that question… I can only imagine what other questions are in store for me…no pun intended.
I’ve always liked the color brown… and I found some awesome steals while shopping for shoes.. I like to call them my mini cowgirl boots… I like to rename things… go with it on this one 😛 And Someone gave me a huge box of brown bracelets. So every time someone buys a necklace, I will give them a nice bracelet. Its stretchy.
My belt is one of my fave that I got at Lane…
I ended up wearing my jeans, and white gap shirt with my Purple boyfriend sweater.
Today a colleague and I came to a conclusion that your passion lead us to what we wanted to do.
Making yourself happy and following your passion.
Have your thought about what makes you Smile?
What are you good at?
What do you like to do?
Follow your passion when you are starting. Yes, I know, its about money too. But if you don’t start with what your good at, how will you know how to start?
There is a saying: “Follow your passion and your wallet will be full.” Who is to say that may not be true.
Personally I dislike to see people not make it and be miserable because all they were in it for was the money. Follow your passion. Be Happy and everything else will follow.
I have to say, Life is wonderful. From everything I have been through I’ve always had support:
Lets make a list real quick of my personal struggles:
Age 11: Broken knee
Age 11& 12 : Dislocated Hip-surgery
Arthritis starts
Age 14: Fractured elbow
Age 17: Dislocated Foot
Age 18&21: Mest up knee again (Volleyball)
Age 24: Skin cancer
Age 24: Herniated spine disc
Age 27: Lumbar Spine Fusion…
Finally better… No pain!
Age 28: Car accident 6 months later!!!
Age 28: Possible future cancer? A scare!
Current Recouping
Did I forget anything.. crazy huh? Sounds unbelievable…but trust… it all in my records
I have to say. I have been able to overcome all this with support! If it were not for the awesome support and love that I have I would not know where I would be.
It is very important that you find awesome support.
What to look for:
All of this does NOT have to come from one person. Moreover, it can be different people. A group of friends who really care about you. And want to understand the chaos you try to avoid. This is not only for people who have gone through chronic pain. This is also for anyone who has gone through Life.
Living life to its fullest in any capacity has its need of comrades. Not everyone will understand the relationships with another because each relationship is individual and give your something different from the next one. This is OK. Just make sure you are well balanced. Are receiving the support you need. Also giving back. Because just receiving is one things…and it get boring to both parties. You have to Give.
So next time you are going through something, have a friend to speak to. Count on someone. And learn to be there for someone too.
I wish you all the best! All the Awesome support in the world! Because Life is worth living with everyone you want around you.
Smile (if you want)
I’m happy Because I choose to be,
Jes Sofia Valle 😀
