Whew, I finally took the trip I’d been talking about for years. I traded in my overpacked to-do list for a suitcase and headed overseas for my first international vacation and first cruise ever. And what a ride it’s been!
They say life begins at 50, but I’ve decided not to wait that long. This Wednesday, I’m boarding a flight to Athens, Greece. This will be my first time ever leaving the country. Yes, ever. And while my cruise aboard Virgin Voyages’ Resilient Lady doesn’t set sail until Sunday, I’m heading over early to breathe it all in on my own time, in my own way.
Turning my creative passions into a product line has been a journey of trial, faith, and fierce determination. What started as scribbled ideas in a notebook has evolved into two growing collections: my motivational graphic tees and my adult coloring books featuring stylish, confident Black women, both proudly sold through SouthernDivaKP and House of Charlotte Boutique.
Between major work projects at my 9 to 5, managing rising costs in my boutique, mourning a family loss, and keeping up with daily life, I hit a wall. And not a cute Pinterest-style vision board wall. I mean a full-force, “why am I crying in the Starbucks drive-thru?” kind of wall.
