As I stood on the corner of 34th street and 7th avenue, I was in a full blown panic. I was too weak to stand on my own, so I leaned against the grimy wall outside New York Penn Station and waited for an ambulance to find me in the middle of Manhattan. Just a few hours earlier, I was happily dancing at a friends wedding. A few days before that I was filming my first national segment for the Today Show during New York Fashion Week. I had no idea that while I was laser focused on supporting my friends and pursuing my passions, my body was quietly falling apart. Which brings me to the most frustrating adulting mistake I’ve made this year....

Remember when Kanye said, “Single black female addicted to retail”? I’m pretty sure he was talking about me.

One of my New Year's resolutions for 2018 is to take note of the good things in my life while they're happening. If you haven't figured this out about me already, I'm very driven and goal oriented. This is a good thing, but sometimes I'm so focused on the future that I don't take in the amazing things happening in the present until much later. This year I want to look back on each day, week and month and take moments for joy and gratitude. That being said, I'd like to share with you 5 Amazing things that happened in the month of January.
