The time has now come for my YLC 2017 review. I was going to do it on my Facebook page but since I am a blogger, I thought why not formulate a piece on my blog. Okay, so as I am sure you have gathered from the title, these are my top 10 from the ATL and YLC. If you were not there- I am pleased to inform you that you missed out (so start preparing for 2018), and if you were, then some of these points you will identify with. Let’s jump in:
It’s 6 o’clock in the morning as she sits before her vanity hating everything she sees about herself. She picks up her brushes and begins a routine she knows all too well. Applying foundation she begins building an unstable foundation on her insecurities. With every pat and stroke she feels the fake confidence settle on her as a warm blanket on a cold winter night. Concealer she uses to hide the deep wounds of her past, not wanting how truly hurt she is to be visible to the world. Every stroke she makes to line her eyebrows and her eyes is a testament to the control she is trying to regain. With a swish of the powder brush she eliminates the footprints of the tears that ran down her face. The shimmer in her eye shadow and the glow on her face to distract from her haunted eyes, still seeing the painful experiences she had to endure. A pop of red on her lips shows vibrancy and self-expression, hiding the black and white truth of her life. A perfect mask now put in place, contouring perfectly to her face.
The curtain is finally closing on 2016. Can you believe it? Personally I would say that based on analysis I have had a good year. The year started off for me with the SIP team really pushing the theme: Great Expectations. What I started to gain was that we cannot only expect but we must make preparations that align with what we are expecting. When we expect guests in our home we do everything we can to prepare our home for those who are to come, the same principle applies here- make preparations for the thing that you are expecting to enter your life.
