Life Just Happens

There is nothing more exciting than when you are given the opportunity of a LIFETIME!! A year ago I blogged about being chosen to be apart of Wyclef Jean's 'Historia' music video. Well most recently I was contacted to model in a fashion show for Fashion Week!! As I read the message I was in awe. I must have read it 5 times to be sure it wasn't my imagination! Needless to say it was the experience of a lifetime and I still cannot believe I am able to say, "Yes, I modeled in a fashion show for NYC Fashion Week 2012!" 

For whom did I model for may you ask? Elkri Swimwear! An up and coming swimwear line by two amazing designers. The swimsuits are beautiful and very fashion forward. I find it difficult to find swimsuits that I feel comfortable in and feed my inner fashionista. Well I need not look any further! I am all about Elkri!

Let Go...Now!

By Sept. 1st I was going to have a job. Putting positivity out into the universe was bound to come back around, right? This was my thinking as graduation approached. I couldn't wait to get back to working full time! Preferably as a counselor. The stress was starting to take a toll as summer set in. The yearly family trip came at the perfect time. I needed to hit the reset button on all aspects of my life and visiting the motherland did exactly that!! Coming home was tough but it made me realize I needed to let go and be at peace. Let go of the last shred of control. I put my faith in the Big Guy, and gave my trust completely. I thought, "Life will happen the way it is suppose to. Patience is a virtue."

I was doing what I love which is teaching dance, zumba, and baking cakes. Most importantly I wasn't analyzing, controlling and planning all aspects of my life. Everything was good until a meltdown hit. As I realized the job deadline I gave myself was vastly approaching I began to feel foolish, like a failure. Being optimistic is not always easy. After a good pep talk from Team Torres I pulled myself together and averted my focus to all the things I am blessed to have. After that things have been looking up and I can genuinely say I am happy! Only good things to come =)
