The Stars In My Life -- Macy's Heart of Haiti

Thank you to Macy’s Heart of Haiti for providing product to inspire this post about the stars in my life.

I am so happy to share with everyone today about The Macy's Heart of Haiti Campaign. To date the program has employed 780 artisans, which has improved the lives of over 6,200 individuals. The Heart of Haiti initiative provides artists with an opportunity to make a living, feed their families and pay their children's school fees.

The collection features more than 40 home decor items including quilts, metalwork, jewelry and paintings all made almost entirely from recycled and sustainable items such as old cement bags, cardboard, oil drums and local gommier wood.

When I received my beautiful star from The Macy's Heart of Haiti Campaign I was so excited to hang it up in my home. 

Every time I see the star I think of Sophia and how she truly is the star in my life. I know she's only two and can barely finish a sentence but she is the one who keeps a smile on my face. She can take away a bad day with just a small little hug or giggle. I have learned so much from Sophia and continue to each day.  Becoming her mommy gave my life a whole new meaning. I honestly don't know where I'd be without her today. What I do know is I love being a mommy and I am so thankful to have the most beautiful star light up my life. 

When I see the star I also think of two other important stars in my life. My parents. I am SO thankful for everything they have and still do for me. They have taught me everything I know in life and have made me the person I am today. They pushed and encouraged me to do what I love and helped me get there. Becoming a mom at such a young age wasn't something I had planned BUT they stood behind me the whole way and reminded me that I could do it. They paid my way through college and would keep Sophia for days just so I could graduate. They never gave up. I am so thankful for them. I hope that one day Sophia will see me as a parent that my mom and dad were to me.
