So many people around me in the journalism fields are losing their jobs, myself included, and I keep hearing stories about people on the verge of eviction. It's just really sad and hard not to be depressed, but reading this post really helped me feel like things will be ok for me. January was not a good month for me. I lost what I thought was a dream job (at a hip-hop mag) only to realize that not only was the position I held, not for me, but that I wanted to quit anyway. I was just so comfortable there that I wasn't going to quit until I found another gig. Now, that I've been laid off, I dont have a new gig yet but I'm working on it. I think things with work out. If you leap, the net will appear. It was nice reading this. Now, my wavering faith can fly high again. Thanks for the inspiration. You have no idea how inspirational reading this post is.

I didn't realize how many of us devoted Afrobellas live in the same city. Wow.....Anyhoo, to survive our winters, you just need to be prepared. Grab a long down coat (at least 60% down) with a hood you can close snugly without smushing your hair. A polarfleece scarf/hood combo to wear underneath, ski gloves,tights/leggings to layer under pants/skirts and warm, waterproof boots (preferably knee-high for when the snow or wind is wicked)will keep you toasty. If you guys will be driving, buy a metal shovel for the ice and snow. Bring ALL your shea butter and cream leave-in conditioners for what the dry air and strong winds can do to your hair and skin. The summer will more than make up for the winter, I promise! Don't forget your smile....we'll be smiling back at you. Blessings to you and your family! Welcome to Chicago!
