I sat down with Silver Queen Beverly Kirkland last summer before I started my blog. We chatted outside of her Brooklyn Brownstone and discussed the ups and downs of her gray journey through the years. I've said many times, we newbie Silver Sisters are late to the...
I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but I certainly do!
Stay on track Fam. Keep your vision to fulfill your mission. Some detours are inevitable, but get up and get back on track.
Map it out and follow your road with the Lord as your guide.

Throwback Thursday.
NYC High School Art & Design circa 1975.
I was in renowned artist Max Ginsburg’s painting class, and on this day I was the painting subject for the class.(See Max in the background) I think I saw Max’s rendition of me once. What a great artist and teacher, and great memories! He captures people of NYC like no one else. I believe he is still alive at 94.
But about the teenage angst-it’s a real thing! When I look back, I hardly smiled in my photos. Typical of a teenager. My granddaughter is now 13, and also does not like to smile in photos. I get it. It’s a tough age-growing up. Body changing. Mind changing .You are developing, and finding out just who you are.

Thanks for walking with me down memory Lane. The 70s still remains one of my favorite decades of creativity, exploration, and amazing days in New York City.

A quick look back at my gray hair journey over the last 5 years and just reminding myself why I’m here.
I thought it would make me look old, but instead it made me shine.
This is your sign to take the leap. you never know what might be on the other side!

Throwing back to the fabulous 1970s with platform shoes, dungarees,tube tops, see-through blouses and hot pants. As a fashion design student, and an artist, I was always stylish. Some things never change☺️💃🏽
The 70s remains one of my favorite eras.
@official.michelecannon this one’s for you. IYKYK
How about you? what were you doing and
what were you wearing in the glorious 70s?

Before coffee: don’t talk to me, don’t look at me, don’t even think about me. ☕️ After coffee: suddenly I’m everyone’s favorite ray of sunshine. 🌞
I blame my mom for this love affair — I grew up waking up to the smell of her morning coffee, and now it’s basically in my DNA.
Who else can’t function until that first cup hits?

I had this vintage @dianevonfurstenberg wrap dress in my closet for about 2 decades and decided to pull it out and throw it on today. Love the knit denim look.
Now I know why the wrap was all the rage in the 70s-just wrap and go. I think I’m gonna look for some others.
Did you rock the DVF wrap dresses back in the day???
God is good.

Six year old me, and me now.
Things I would tell my six year old self…
•You only need validation from yourself and God.
•Your thoughts are not always true (we sometimes adopt things as truth when they’re not)
•Trust your instincts, they’re rarely wrong-that goes for lovers, friends, and decisions.
Always put God first in your choices.
Be content in your current state while pursuing your dreams. Comparison is truly the thief of joy.
You are the only YOU there is. People can copy, but they’ll never be you, and you’ll never be them.
Pass this on to someone who needs to hear this-young and old.
Thanks for stopping by.
What would you add to this list??👇🏽
