In a world where dreams are often overshadowed by skepticism, Adore was determined to create something extraordinary. As a passionate teacher, she envisioned launching her own fragrance line, a collection that embodied elegance and empowerment. She dreamed of a scent named "LOVE," blending floral notes of jasmine with hints of citrus and vanilla—intoxicating and uplifting. When Adore excitedly shared her vision, a colleague laughed and mocked her, saying, “You think you can pull that off? The fragrance market is too saturated!” Feeling deflated, Adore thought, “I’ll show them!” Instead of giving in to doubt, she turned to her supportive friends and family, who reminded her that every great dream faces naysayers. Fueled by their encouragement, Adore dedicated herself to creating and perfecting "LOVE." Adore spent countless evenings experimenting with fragrance notes in her tiny kitchen.

Kamala Harris Owned The Debate

Kamala Harris’s performance on the debate stage was powerful. With a firm handshake signaling confidence and authority, she set the tone for an unforgettable show. It was clear from the start she was there to make a statement. Harris dominated the debate, with commanding presence, sharp arguments, and articulate responses. She tackled critical issues like healthcare, Roe v. Wade, fracking, and economic reform with clarity and confidence, showcasing her deep understanding and clear vision for the future. If this were a comedy special, the audience would be rolling and asking for an encore! Trump went off the rails, referencing Springfield, Ohio, with, ‘They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there!’ Harris, probably thinking ‘Seriously?’ She laughed off the outrageous claims, calling him ‘extreme,’ and, like only a polished prosecutor could, reminded him that 81 million people had already given him the boot. She left him "sh...

To all my dreamers and believers,  I’m done with all the noise and doubt! I’m on that God-given grind, pushing past every obstacle that tried to hold me down, pull me back, and throw me off track. I remember when it felt like I was shackled by fear and surrounded by a cloud of doubt, but soon realized it was just deception trying to keep me from my destiny.  Now see me - - empowered, enlightened, and driven by purpose! I’ll keep moving forward and keep believing because God has amazing plans for me.  I’m a miracle in motion! I hold on to the promise God made to me, ‘It’s going to be alright’? I’m standing on that truth, pressing on, and staying in prayer. I’ve come too far to turn back now. God didn’t bring me this far just to leave me. I’ll stay the course, stay faithful, and watch Him work it out. I’ll keep walking in my purpose because with God on my side, I’m truly unstoppable.  So, are you ready to chill your doubts and let your purpose shine bright? დ A touch o...
