FACE OF TODAY is a charitable organization aimed at turning dreams into reality. Internationally, we will contribute to the micro-finance revolution by establishing a relationship with Opportunity International to provide hope for people in poverty. By working through non-profit, micro-finance institutions that provide ‘micro’ loans to poverty-stricken entrepreneurs, we will be able to reach the most destitute populations of low income countries, providing them with financial assistance, entrepreneurial training and guidance.

“It sounds really corny, but I think that if you’re beautiful inside, it shows on the outside for sure. You can be a pretty face, but if you’re not a nice person, it just doesn’t work. I’m not traditionally a beauty, but apparently people think I’m all right. If you’re a nice person, it definitely helps.” – Kate Moss

Life.

Since the last writing on this blog a lot of my life has changed. I have gone from worrying about what I am going to do with my hair on Friday night to what values I want to create in my family. I have become the adult I wasn’t thinking I would be for a long time.

I was living my life pretty typically for a twenty something. I worked hard, I partied, I loved clothes and the odd frivolous spending day. I was living in the moment. My future seemed a long way off.

The future has arrived and now everything is different. The things I thought I most enjoyed have become simple pleasures. What I value most now is my quite time with my boyfriend and my family. I love making my new apartment into a cozy home. I love planning out the next year. I love setting up all the building blocks for everything that is to come.

It is incredible how the entirety of what I thought I wouldn’t want for myself right now, everything I planned to happen in the years to come has been exactly what I have needed for me now and exactly what has fulfilled me.

Life has become something more beautiful then I ever thought possible and it has only just begun.

Change

I have never been one to fully embrace much change with a positive mindset. I have always enjoyed stability and continuity. So I find it so very interesting that I have found my greatest happiness and purpose in everything changeable. Every day, every moment is more drastically different from the rest. I would never have understood or believed that this would be the path I am now on, if a month ago someone had come to me and predicted it.

Life has an amazing ability to form you into a person you never thought possible. In difficult times you become a super hero with strength you never imagined, in times of fear you can have moments of unexpected cowardliness, and during times when you need to suddenly grow up you find a knowledge and a responsibility inside you that you didn’t imagine would exist for at least another five years or so.. (some people longer).

I have been thrust into a stunning world of excitement and challenges. I have been afraid, I have had moments where I have doubted myself, but much more then any possible negative, I have an overwhelming faith that I have never been more on the right path then ever before. I believe very much that everything happens for a reason and my world has been greatly changed, it is an immense, incredible, miracle of a change.

I am blessed. We are blessed.

Sometimes everything in the world just makes sense. Everything is beautiful.

Breathe

Life is an exquisite and sometimes difficult balance between darkness and light. It is epitomized in good vs. evil which in some form or another is in all of us. We can go from the happiest of states to the lowest in mere moments. Life is ever changing and us along with it.

Embrace the ups, the downs, the side ways. I have had all of it in the last month and although I am exhausted and craving stability, safety and normalcy I am still very thankful I am not bored, stagnant or uninspired. The good the bad and the ugly keep us entertained and moving forward; give us a reason to maintain strength and faith for the future.

Never stop fighting.
Never neglect a reason to smile.
Never take the small beautiful moments for granted.
Never cease having faith in oneself or in others.

Life is beautiful.
