IBOGIRLLIVING

At the start of the year, Pastor Mike Todd said it would be our best year yet if it was our best year spiritually and he was right. I'm thankful for many things but I'm especially thankful for the spiritual journey I've been on since the year began.

You know those videos you watch and articles you read online where people share things they wish they knew or did before reaching a certain age? Well, I've actually been one of those people who wishes someone would have told me what to expect in my 40s but I'm not about to be caught off guard again seeing as I've begun inching towards my 50s (Gosh! that's so crazy for me to even think about that I'm close to being 50 YEARS OLD! YIKES!!😱😵).

I'm usually good about planning and prepping my content ahead of time but this past weekend simply got away from me so I apologize for not having any post up on Saturday last week.

Today, I'm sharing the 5 Pinterest looks I recreated and will be rocking to different places this Fall/Thanksgiving season. I get my style influences from different platforms as well as people and have pretty much come to the conclusion that my style is predominantly casual with splashes of glam, edge and sophistication. Enjoy the looks!!

I may be late to the party but Woman Evolve written by Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts is the new book I'm reading as I continue my journey to Becoming the woman I know I was created and called to be. With only just a few chapters in, the need for me to evolve into the woman I know I can be from the woman I once was is more urgent now than ever before.

Last weekend I made the decision to get baptized at 42 years old and it felt awesome. It was awesome because this was my conscious decision to make a public declaration for Jesus and also because my sister did me the honor of baptizing me.

I've lived in the U.S now for 6 years and 2 weeks ago was my first time attending the Texas State Fair. Once I got there, I finally agreed with the statement that everything is bigger in Texas because the rides were big, the shows were big and the food was even bigger. There was so much to see and do that by the time we were back home, everything from my knees down felt like I had just returned from war! LOL! Don't judge me!!
