Introducing the theme for my new collection
Introducing to you the theme for my new collection coming October 30 2020…
But first let me take you back to 2016, the most hectic year of my life where everything I knew was flipped on its head, turned inside out and taken for spin.
In January 2016, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, an autoimmune disease with no known cure. Sitting in the doctor’s room going through what this diagnosis meant, my partner of seven years and I were told I may not be able to have children.
After that appointment, we went home and had a serious discussion. I knew how much he wanted kids and I didn’t want to be the one to stop him from fulfilling that dream. We decided to stay together because at the end of the day, we had each other.
Unknown to me, he started an affair that weekend.
In May, he proposed to me on my birthday. I had started a biologic drug treatment that was working. Life was looking up.
One month later, I found the messages to this woman. They had been sleeping together ever since that discussion.
Everything I had planned for my life fell around me in an instant.
We ended our relationship that night and I saw him once more when he collected his things.
And my life on my own began. I began to really question what it was I wanted. I went travelling, I went on beach trips by myself, I began to feel more comfortable in my own skin, I wore the bikini without board shorts or a t-shirt, I got a tattoo, I made new friends, I explored and I dreamt.
I enrolled to study graphic design, I quit my corporate job, moved back home and started HLD. And I have some big dreams where I want to take my life.
I thought my life had to look a certain way. Get the job, get the hubby, have the kids. And I’m not saying that’s a bad thing! What I am saying is that we don’t have to do what we think is expected of us. You’re allowed to dream. Whatever that looks like for you.
If you can make something exist in your mind, you can bring in into reality. You can make that dream happen.
So, here she is…
