Today is an extra special day. I am excited and fortunate to be able to participate in a campaign to give back to the community and help empower women. ShopStyle and Dress for Success have partnered with select bloggers to help raise funds for the program that helps struggling women achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools to help them thrive in work and in life.

Feeling Pretty

November 16, 2015/ K Jax

I was contemplating last night the issue of outgrowing one's dreams. Not that you outgrow them and they are no longer your dreams, but that your physical growth - either in size or age - makes your dreams no longer plausible for you. For example: I have always loved horses. When I was very young, I wanted a job that let me ride horses for a living. I wanted to be a horse jockey. Then I grew to be 5'11", and clearly there is no way that specific dream could be a reality. Fortunately, it was also a dream I outgrew in that I no longer wanted to be a jockey by the time I was 5'11", so that worked itself out.
