Recently, I was talking with one of my best friends and she said, "Stacy, it takes a village to get through life". And I know my husband would agree that it has taken a village for us to get through this last year and a half.
My dad always said, "Stacy, its not what you know but who you know" and I wholeheartedly believe he was right. The knowledge that we gain throughout our journey in life is powerful and yet the people we surround ourselves with is empowering.
Throughout my professional career, I have lost my job 3 times. And each time it was because of my health. It was never out of choice, but instead because my body could not mentally nor physically handle the workload while subsequently fighting the illness. And this time around has been no exception: I have been out of work since December of 2022.
As we slowly depleted our bank account, we started selling our designer clothes, shoes and accessories online. Also, my husband picked up a second job on weekends to further support our efforts to keep our house and car. We also reached out to our "village" of friends and family for help. We were showered with love and reminded that we are beyond blessed by the village of people that we have in our lives.
Today I will wear my high heels not only for myself and my family but for the people in my life who matter the most, who stepped up when we needed them, and who refuse to leave our sides as we live through this difficult season.
Love Note: With all my heart, I genuinely request that due to the content written, please seek the guidance of professional help should you feel you need it.
