It’s so easy to post a black-and-white picture of yourself and say that you’ve accepted a challenge. Actually following through and living your life accepting that challenge is a completely different story.

This photo was posted a few months ago on a day I was very excited about. I have worked hard many years to build this business and I was asked to take over an Instagram account of a company that I really love and I was really excited for the day.

On that same day, someone took this photo and put it on Twitter. I do not have Twitter, however, I began receiving phone calls from friends and team members that something was going on. About 40,000+ people commented / retweeted some of the most nasty comments you could ever hear about another woman. Apparently my life looked just a little too perfect. My kids were well-dressed. My kitchen was clean. My hair was washed. I was a “rich designer who was fake” even as far as saying Declan was “ugly”. Guess who posted this photo? Another mother. Another mother who felt threatened and sat behind her computer and her goal that day was to make me feel bad about myself, and guess what?! I let her.

The thing she doesn’t know is who I am. She doesn’t know the sacrifices that I’ve made in my life to get to where I am. She doesn’t know that I had a father growing up tell me I didn’t need to go to college because I had “street smarts”. The same father walked out on me and all of my sisters on my 18th birthday and never contacted me or them ever again. She doesn’t know when I tried to send him letters he would write “return to sender on them” and they would all come back and crush me. Those people don’t know I used him as motivation to go to college. To take out those student loans and pay for it 100% myself by slanging jeans on eBay and hustling the whole way through. I used him as motivation to build something for myself, for my family, for my soul. Was my kitchen clean? Sure was. Is my life perfect, hell no. We all have our struggles, and like I keep telling you guys, when women support women amazing things happen. I can hear you cheering for me and I’m so grateful
