What would you do without your BESTFRIEND?

This post is about one of the most amazing women in my life, she is none other than my bestie Connie. She is no longer just a friend she is my family, my sister, my most trusted confidant. We have been inseparable since I met her back in 2004 during our freshman year at North Carolina Central University on the 9th floor of Eagleson Hall.

Wow it seems so long ago, I'm getting old! lol The first few times we spent together I knew this woman would be in my life forever and now May 2013 we are thick as thieves. Have we had our ups and downs...of course that is in any friendship but I can tell you that it has made us closer than ever before. Check out Thelma & Louise below:

 

Let me tell you guys the definition of a best friend or at least what my best friend is to me! My bestie Connie is my ROCK she is the only person who truly knows me inside and out. She is the first person I talk to in the morning and the last person I talk to before I go to sleep. She is the person I go to when my insecurities are disabling my potential, when my man ain't acting right, when I'm excited, happy or sad. She is my one in a lifetime true Confidant! 

 

I'm pulling a few lines from a movie or two so don't judge me it is the easiest way to show you guys the love I have for this chick. lol  I carry her in my spirit, I pray for her more than I pray for myself! She makes my life complete, she is the ying to my yang, she is the woman who will stand before myself and God when I vow to love a man for the rest of my life, she will be the godmother of my children. She will forever have a large chunk of my heart and the bond that we share can never be broken.

 

On a lighter note we do some silly things to like...add our names in our favorite songs, have the most inappropriate conversations, eat whole Crabs like two grown men, call each other on every commercial break of our favorite shows and I pick on how OCD she is.

 

The moral of this post is that my best friend is my biggest source of inspiration, bravery, courage, love, friendship, happiness and joy. She is one of my biggest cheerleaders always telling me how proud she is and supporting and helping me with any and everything I need. She tells me the truth even when I don't want to hear it or accept it and she loves and accepts me for ME! Now this is what you call a best friend.

 

 

We all want that confidant that  you  were destined by God to spend the rest of your life with. I am so blessed that God blessed me with her, he knew exactly who to send to make that part of my being complete and I am forever grateful for her.

 

My man is also  best friend but there is nothing like being able to have a conversation with a woman that knows exactly how you feel. It is one of the most liberating and refreshing feelings in the world.

 

Embrace..Love...Acknowledge your best friends they are one of life's most precious gifts! 

 

Until next time Continue to live life with passion and purpose!!!

PUT UP OR...SHUT UP!!!

Hello Beautiful People,

It has been a minute and boy have I missed talking to you guys. I have been an emotional wreck over the last few days and I probably wouldn't have been so Bitchy if I would have came here sooner. I have so many random things going on in my head right now so this post will be a rollercoaster ride but stay with me.lol

First things First!!! I will be graduating from the Art Institute of Charlotte in December 2013 and I am as happy as can be! I have waited 3 long years to walk across this stage and I am going to enjoy every  moment of it. It has been an amazing experience, I  was given the chance to live my dream and learn the knowledge that feeds the passion yearning within me. I have had this passionate love affair with fashion for years and now it is finally becoming my career reality. I have so many ideas of ways to make my mark on this earth and graduating will be the biggest milestone to making my dreams come true.

My Fashion and Lifestyle Blog All Things Fashion with CFC is growing and between working on this and school I get very little time to have a life. And let me tell you it SUCKS! I just knew that my life would look like...

Yeah I bet all of you thought your social life would look like a scene out of Sex and the City! My social life is just about non-existent. I have amazing friends and family but I have ambitions and responsibilities as well. I would love to hang out with my loves but my ambitions have taken over my life. Opportunities wait on no one and if I don't work hard to achieve my dreams they will never become my reality. I have a teacher who is somewhat a mentor and she has taught me how valuable time is and how important it is to cease the moment. I have taken that and devoted the way I spend my time and the way I think about allocating my time.

The funny thing is that my friends and family have accepted that my ambition and drive is what makes my life so sweet. I am dedicated to making the things I love the most help me succeed. I am determined to become the woman I have always known I could be. With or without the support of others because the people who believe in me understands, respects and supports the fact that I am doing this to better myself and not to hurt or be malicious by not giving them the time they deserve. I thank you all for your support you have helped me thru some tough times and I appreciate all of my friends and family and I am always there for you...maybe not always physically but in spirit.
I go weeks and even months without talking to friends and family, we are all making a life for ourselves and that's how it gets. The everyday grind confines you but when you do get that phone call or dinner date it is just like old times picking up were we left off. Friendship is such a beautiful thing and I thank each and every one of my friends you are better than all the rest!!!

Gotta tell you guys about my man real quick!!!

Thank God for good men and lets thank him three more times for my good man.lol I know personally that God put this man on earth especially for ME! I couldn't ask for a better partner, best friend, confidant, protector, provider, lover, punching bag, MAN! He has accepted me flaws and all, he deals with my bitching and nagging and he does the simplest things to satisfy my every need. He is so thoughtful and kind and he is my number one fan. How did I get so lucky? God sent one of his toughest warriors to watch over one of his most delicate angels and I will forever be grateful for this blessing. He knows who he is ...Love ya BOO!!!

I've rambled long enough and my eyes are getting heavy. I hope you all enjoy a glimpse into a day in the life of Courtney. Until next time....Live life with Passion and Purpose!!!
