I've been keeping journals since I was in the 3rd grade and I'm so glad to share some of my most intimate life moments with you here!  Here, you'll find inspirational and encouraging stories of me and other broken people like me. We are all jars of clay who have been afflicted in every way, but not crushed...struck down by not destroyed.  Here, you do NOT have the right to remain silent, so as you read, grab your favorite snack and drink and leave a comment...share YOUR story. I can't wait to connect with you in this beautiful safe space. 

welcome to my

journal!

VERSONA | MY LOVE FOR HAMPTON ROADS | SACHEL SAMONE | LOVE & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m what you may consider “a girly girl.” I adore heels, cute dresses (with pockets!!), shoes, hats…EVERYTHING. But when it comes to fashion, there is one thing I adore more than anything. Accessories. Necklaces, earrings, watches, bracelets, handbags, scarves with fabulous prints and patterns….I love how they can take my most simple t-shirt and jeans combo […]
