This photo is from one year ago today! I didn’t know it walking across the Brooklyn Bridge that morning, but this day would become one of my FAVORITE days of my entire life. (We went on to eat yummy bagels, have a mini shopping spree at Nordy Rack, visit the 9/11 Museum, see Wicked on Broadway, and stroll along an empty 5th Avenue after dark.) It may not be your idea of a “best day ever,” but I was SO HAPPY. I was “dancing through life.”
.
Today (exactly one year later) doesn’t look quite the same. I’ve spent most of my morning trying to salvage my mascara by wiping away tears before they fall, filled with dread over the workday ahead, and questioning why I can’t just be thankful for all the blessings God has given me. Why can’t that be enough? Why do I feel so sad?
.
Generally I hate feelings. They’re yucky, and I try not to have them. Good or bad-I don’t trust them. So I compartmentalize them & move on ASAP.
.
To some of you that might sound silly, but it’s my truth, people!
.
Anyway, there are so many thoughts I’ve had and prayers I’ve prayed this morning while trying to get out of this funk. One thing that occurred to me (& probably not the most profound thought, but...) was: WHAT IF?
.
“What if” today is going to turn out as the new best-day-ever of my life? Seems like a stretch, I admit. How could a mundane work-week Monday be a great day? But still- what if?
.
In the midst of all this, I can hear God asking me to TRUST HIM. Trust that a good day isn’t dependent on vacation or travel or a new adventure or spending money or even on my happiness level. Maybe it’s the day I stepped out, got brave, and was vulnerable on social media? (😰 don’t think mild panic isn’t ensuing as I type this)
.
Maybe today won’t be my favorite day, but if God teaches me to trust him more, that’s good. And if it’s a bad day, He’s still good. He loves me and he loves you. He has plans for me and plans for you. .
And what if? Am I trusting Him with my what if?

This little #insty #twinsty is off to Chicago this morning, and I’m gonna miss her ✈️
.
This photo is from a year ago & was one of my favorite nights in #nyc. We’d just seen #wickedthemusical 🧙🏻‍♀️👸🏼 on Broadway (we were totally on an NYC high), and then we wandered all around the mostly-empty streets and took this shot with the #chryslerbuilding behind us. (And Soz, insty- idk what that white spot is on the tip of ur 👃)
.
& In case you were wondering, having a #twin is every bit as wonderful as you thought it would be when you were a kid. We’re the lucky ones! @brookesbeautybazaar is my best friend, preferred travel-companion, fashion & beauty style icon, fellow art-lover and #bohemian and so much more.

My fave #billyjoel songs, because it’s #mcm ... if you’re a fan, then tell me your favorite Billy Joel song in the comments 🎸🎷🎶
.
& in other news...Happy Labor Day! It’s still 90* ☀️ outside, but to me it’s the unofficial first day of Fall! 🍂 .
Also- and most importantly- prayers 🙏🏻 for the safety of all those affected by #hurricanedorian & also prayers of comfort and healing for all those recovering from/affected by the shooting attacks in #texas this weekend. Here’s a passage that gave me #hope this morning:
“..Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.....I have told you these things, so that you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” - John 16:22 & 16:33
