Black in Bloom: NEW YEAR, NEW START

These past two years I have loved bringing all of you Bloomers the different ways I'm inspired daily. I'm even more grateful to have shared these experiences alongside one of my best friends. Amy has always been an amazing friend and co-blogger. She always motivates me to look for the small moments in my day to bring to the blog so that I can share what I find valuable and creative to all of you. Also, this experience would have never been the same if it wasn't for all of our supporters and readers. You have all motivated me to continually share my creativity and passion even though I will no longer be a part of the blog.

I decided to hand over my half of the blog to Amy because of where I am in life right now. I still love to blog, adore fashion and design, and value mine and Amy's friendship, but right now I need to take time away to grow into other areas of my life. I recently accepted two jobs: both involving art therapy with elders who have Alzheimer's or dementia. I went to school for psychology and art therapy and have always wanted to work with elderly people who have memory impairment. I'm so grateful to finally have this opportunity and find that it's been very difficult to consistently post on the blog. Amy and I struggle with finding time to sit down together to make posts due to our crazy schedules and other priorities. If I'm going to be a part of something this good, then I want to give it my all, and right now I feel unable to do that.

So once again thank you for all your support and for continuing to support when this blog is fully passed to Amy! As a goodbye I wanted to do one last outfit post. Thank you again and best to everyone in all their life journeys!
