Re-Birth of BeautyLoveSpirit

It has been several months since I updated this website. Mainly because I have been busy but also because i've been going through a kind of personal transformation. I am finding out what makes me strong, how to overcome challenges, and over all adjusting to the ups and downs of life. 

There have been moments of disappointment and then points of pure happiness. Now that I have emerged out of my "funk" I think it is time to dust off the ol' website. It still has much purpose. Everything from journal exercises to movie suggestions, from beauty finds to current affairs. 

Now is the time where young women are at a crucial point. If you're like me you've made it through a heartbreak or two, you're seeking to find more meaning from life - whether this is from a spiritual perspective, school or career. Especially with the upcoming election we are a voice that should be heard. 

This Friday night (September 26) there will be the first of three presidential debates.  This is our opportunity to hear from the candidates and where they stand on the issues facing our nation today. You can learn more about the debates by visiting this CNN webpage.

I hope that you will bookmark or subscribe to BeautyLoveSpirit for future news and updates.

Ten Years Ago: A Retrospective for Twenty-Somethings

Do you ever think back and wonder: what was my life like ten years ago? Usually, I don't, except it was  my birthday this week so it got me thinking . . . what was I up to way back in the summer of 1997. For  my fellow twenty-somethings, let me jog your memory about this year as a whole.
