2014 A Year full of Faith, Hope, and Love

THIS GIRL

Is anyone else glad 2013 is over? What a year! To sum up 2013 for me, I had a whirlwind of heartache, hard work, pain, miracles, devastations, and surprises. I had two of my married friends literally move across the street from me; sent from Heaven. I signed another contract to be a style Ambassador with Harper's Bazaar, awesome. I couldn't work because of the immense amount of pain I have been in. My disease was removed twice in January and in July to no avail. I have thought I over came CSO in August and became extremely healthy. I was even able to assistant in an upcoming movie as an assistant costume designer. 
It was also the first time I went to ACL, and I live in Austin! 

Then in late November I basically fell on my knees from the pain. The doctors apparently did not remove all the disease and it has now spread up towards my ear. I went to my 10 year reunion Crazy! Florida State won the National Championship (my husband's favorite team), and I will mention that Baylor did pretty well in football too! Sic' Em Bears!!! My dog got second in the basset hound shuffle race and is the second fastest basset hound in Texas!!! 

It has been a roller coaster that we all call life. Does it ever slow down or will it always remain this fast and crazy? When will we get some sanity and begin to live a normal life as we use to know it? Does that even exist? I am hoping so! 

2014 look out this is going to be a much better year. I am going to beat this disease and get my life back!

FASHION

Although it sounds cliche, the perfect motto to live by is Faith, Hope, and Love. A great way to remember this principle is to implement it into your fashion, and life. Maybe it is a top you own, a quote on your wall, or you write it on your mirror in lip stick, a piece of jewelry to remind you, a background on your cell phone. Whatever it is, I think this is a principle that we all can live by. I think it is an amazing statement that we can all implement into our lives and wear to remind others as they might forget it.

PAIN

Well, like I said 2013 is over. Unfortunately, it is official, I have chronic sclerosing osteomyelitis and it's back with a vengeance. My journey now leads to removing my lower right jaw bone completely, and using titanium to replace it. It involves two intense surgeries including a bone graft, PICC line (maybe), my mouth wired shut, and after all that is over I will get dental implants. 

This is the most crazy disease, and it's so hard to find out information about it, and doctors that actually know how to cure it. I had a chance to work with a doctor in Texas but he told me verbatim "If I were his wife he would have Dr. Marx in Miami do my surgery"; even though he can do it he believes that there are to many complications because of autoimmune issues, and previous problems with antibiotics. This means I will be spending about 2 months in Miami over the next year, starting in February. One way to look at it is, a titanium jaw is a pretty legit Valentine's present I will never forget. However, I would much rather get jewelry.  I know I am not the only one going through a battle. Everyone has something hard that they are going through, chances are you haven't gotten to know that person well enough to know about it.
