Some Of My New Friends

 
Cailyn and I met by chance in none other than the Macy's shoe department ( what a surprise!) . Looking to spend my much appreciated Macy's gift card I received as a gift for Christmas, I walked the isles of the crowded chaotic space, with shoes, boxes and paper strewn everywhere from all the thirsty shoppers looking to taking advantage of the after Christmas sales. Originally, I could not get pass the mess to focus on my energy on the shoes that were calling. I actually went and bought some cute lingerie. Somewhat content with my purchase, I walked past the shoes one more time on my way to parking lot. Something said, "Take one more look." So I decided to listen to that inner voice blessed to me by the almighty shoe gods and lo and behold, I saw Cailyn. Its as if she were calling to me so that I would not step foot our of that store without at least noticing her first. I as soon as I slipped her on my foot, my man said, "get them...let's go." LOL Well, who am I to argue when even he was so clearly taken my new metallic foot attire. Needless to say I wrapped them back up and headed to the cashier. As if things could not get any better, as I stood in line grinning from ear to ear, clutching my new treasure like a little girl with a new baby doll, a shopper online behind me gave me a coupon for an extra 20% off my purchase!!! Life is good, my shoes are fabulous and I am happy. Nuff said.


I have to say it was love at first sight when I walked up to the Nazirra shoe in the Guess store in downtown, NYC. The combination of the zebra print and the royal blue platform will provide just the right amount of flare and sassiness to my shoe repertoire this summer. This shoe brings a bright smile to my face in the midst of this endless sea of dirty snow and sidewalks of salt residue. Even though I have cute boots to wear my feet are screaming for something beautiful to let my toes feel the sunlight and to arch my calves in taught attention lol. These are the kind of shoes that make strut that much more powerful and allow your personal rhythm to be both seen and heard as you walk down the street.

A few months ago, my dad called me and told me he had cancer. Never one to be lacking in articulation, at that moment I had nothing to say. He assured me everything was going to be fine. He has great doctors and they caught it early, all the things that you want to hear to give you hope, but does any of that make you feel better when you first get this life changing news? I tried to be a good daughter and not get too emotional on the phone. I asked a few probing questions about the plan of action for his treatment and his symptoms. I basically tried to keep the conversation as logical as possible, while on the inside I felt like I was melting. My dad and I have not had a conventional relationship. A product of teen pregnancy, I felt like I spent most of my early years watching my parents grow up and become adults rather, than looking to them for guidance. My daddy and I... well we have grown together in our own way. He was never one to stress me about grades or school. He just knew I ...

I have spent so much time expending energy to be Something different Something specific Something other than me I went around in huge circles, octagons and triangles Only to arrive at square one My swagga was/ is a thing of beauty Like Ms. Hill said You just lost one  I can reinvent myself over and over again Change me look Switch up my style Return within my self and spin Change up colors Go up and down a size But at the end of the day My prize remains inside. I'm a little old school But I get brand new at times I gotta sick flow And a sexy sharp mind Not sure if you see that Not concerned if you believe that You'd be a fool not to agree that  I... AM ...ONE OF A KIND - Lauren Liburd

The Evolution Of...

The Mirriam-Webster Dictionary defines Evolution as "a process of continuous change from a lower, simpler, or worse to a higher, more complex, or better state : growth (2) : a process of gradual and relatively peaceful social, political, and economic advance"   We are ever-evolving, ever-changing beings. Life is a process and a journey. I am sure we have heard this before but to really grasp the concept of managing (as much as is in your control) your journey through life and always maintaining the attitude of gratitude is a HUGE. Anywho, I have committed to writing an entry every day to document the process of designing my shoes and the concept of evolution came to mind. I started out just with a love, documenting the shoes that I had or wanted to purchase. The stories turned into this blog, which is my external self therapy. The blog turned into the Facebook page with a challenge of finding the most visually stimulating shoes that I could find. The Fac...
