PFM Confessional: One Year Later...

It's been a full year since we starting blogging on a (nearly) daily basis, and although I was tempted to do the rather cliche collage of random outfit photos it became clear to me that I wouldn't be doing ourselves or our MavenFresh readers any justice. Sesheta and I have come to realize that it's more than that. We've created a year's worth of heartfelt content- the direct result of two gals that enjoy sharing their inspiration with you. Hugs go out to all that support us with your loyalty, thoughts, and comments. You are confirmation that our celebration of a happier, healthier, creative life is being well-received...keep spreading the word! 

Slowly things have changed over this year- we started posting about personal style, fresh recipes, healthy living, inspirations 'n obsessions, and of course accessorizing. Eventually came the reader-driven DIYs and Ask the PFMs (you can email us with questions anytime- we love to help!) As we grow and we learn, things eventually come into balance...and a few blog changes are definitely somewhere out on the horizon. Lately, the universe has been telling me that the future is full of exciting possibilities...if you listen I'm sure you will hear it too. Ooh this quote is totally vision board worthy! And now, let's toast and take a peek at some special outtakes. Hope you share in our (obvious) delight and have a wonderful Labor Day weekend...woo-hoo!

Thanks for sharing in our joy and laughter through this year!!! CHEERS! 

xoxo Becca & Sesheta

PFM Confessional: sesheta speaks - true love

u may have noticed that i missed posting on Thursday, 2/2.  yes, it completely slipped my mind that it was my day to post.  sometimes i get too caught up actually living life that i forget to write about it, lol.  it wasn't just an average busy day though; Thursday i celebrated being married for 14 years.

believe it or not, i am actually very quiet about my personal life.  i've never been big on posting blow by blow details on Facebook or Twitter or anywhere for that matter.  ...but then there comes a time when you have to share with the world and this is definitely one of those times.  my hubby and i started out on our journey together at a time when all the factors around us told us that it was never gonna work.  despite what the world tried to tell us, we dove in feet first.  with the support of our families and the blessing from the Most High, fourteen years later, we are still standing.  i don't consider that an easy feat, especially when there are marriages around us, younger and older than ours, failing everyday.  i am proud of us - for having grown together instead of growing apart; for making it through life's tests thus far; for continuing to hold on and, as a result, our love is stronger because of it.  

though i have no idea what tomorrow holds, i can say i know what it is to truly be loved and to love someone else fully.  ...and there is nothing more satisfying.  i wish this kind of love for you too.
