Purple Ribbon

The color of choice today is: PURPLE
 I found out about this movement via Inez & knew I had to support the cause to help spread the word that abuse is NOT love by committing to wear purple today. Check out my PURPLE RIBBON FLOW...


I paired up this purple & black shirt with a few purple accessories. I even threw on some purple eye shadow for a added touch!  (Yep, I was playing in my daughters make-up again) lol





I definitely approve & support this cause... I know someone personally who was affected by Domestic Violence and I thank GOD that they were able to get out
of that situation because LOVE shouldn't hurt!

I even made a cool little charm bracelet just to show how much I support the cause!!!!

Bracelet w/ the beads & charms I ordered from eBay

If you look closely you will see that the charms read: made with love

It's a known FACT that Domestic Violence causes far more pain than the visible marks of bruises and scars. It is devastating to be abused by someone that you love and think loves you in return. So, if you or anyone else that you know are in this situation I encourage you that this is NOT LOVE... it's a crime!!!!


My Purple Accessories that made the FIT complete

This was the only picture I was able to take outside before my camera went DEAD!
I apologize for all the other bad quality pic's as they were taken with my cell phone.

Note to You: Speak LIFE into your situation... look into the mirror & know that you are beautiful, lovable, and most of all worthy of nothing less than the best!

 God made human beings, as male and female, in his image and likeness… U R the greatest creation… love thyself 1st!!!!




October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
1 in 3 families are affected by domestic violence. Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behaviors — physical, sexual, psychological, and economic coercion — used by one intimate partner against another (adult or adolescent) to gain, maintain, or regain power and control in the relationship. Batterers use of a range of tactics to frighten, terrorize, manipulate, hurt, humiliate, blame, often injure, and sometimes kill a current or former intimate partner.
If you are in danger, please call 911, your local hotline, or (in the U.S.) the National Domestic Violence Hotline: (800) 799-7233 or TTY (800) 787-3224.
