🎤IN MARIA’S WORDS....
Thank you so much for including me on this journey of the rainbow skirt!
I was eager to get the photos done as quickly as possible since you told me from the beginning that the next recipient was planning to wear the skirt for NYE.
As soon as I took it out of the box, I put it on and headed out to the alley with my son and my iPhone for him to capture my photos. It’s been pouring here in SoCal for the past few days but it dried up just in time to get outside for some portraits.
He did a pretty good job of making me look happy and show up in the darkness in this skirt despite the fact I was crying only an hour before it arrived at my door.
I paired the skirt with my favorite black sunglasses and also with a black faux fur jacket I've owned for 20 years but never had an excuse to wear. I’m also rocking my glittered tank that reads “Don’t let your sparkle fade,” a red lipstick, and a comfortable ponytail.
I’ve had plenty of experience with showing up in the darkness so I’m quite well-versed in picking myself up and putting on a smile and getting stuff done. I’m a single mom but I choose this life and I’m happy. I work a lot and I also try to make time for writing on a daily basis.
I have so many stories to share and I look forward to reassuring others that they aren’t alone in their experiences.
