Happy Monday, friends! I'm back from Cali feeling so rejuvenated. Spending time with three incredible females, my mom, sister, and grandmother, made me hopeful and happy and loved. The blue skies and sunshine didn't hurt at all either. While the trip itself was amazing, what I saw at JFK on my way home was once in a lifetime.
This week, a lot of heartbreaking things happened in our country, but the one that hit closest to home is the executive order (yet to be signed) that would put a stop to accepting refugees from Syria and other majority-Muslim nations. As you may or may not know, my husband is a Muslim refugee who was able to come to America and start a new life with his family when he was a kid.
Ok before I get into today's post, I want to announce a pretty incredible giveaway. You guys are always asking me about the trio of delicate diamond rings that I wear stacked on my right hand. Because there's so much interest in these pieces, I teamed up with A.Jaffe to gift one of you a diamond band (worth up to $1500) to get your own stack started!
I want to thank you guys for an incredible response to my post yesterday. I honestly had no idea how people would react to it, but seeing how many people agreed with my point of view and supported what I was saying made me feel like I did the right thing by writing it.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming...
What a weekend! We had a great one personally, but seeing how many people showed up to fight for women's equality made it extra special. I love these photos taken from marches all over the world. It gives me goosebumps just to look. Scrolling through social media on Saturday night and talking to friends who attended marches around the country gave me a sense of hope that I didn't think I'd feel in the coming years.
