@acertainage @susanleeyogi (((SUSAN)))) (hee hee) Do you guys know who Audre Lorde was? The poem that this quote is from is called "Stations" and it is one of my all-time favorite poems. I highly recommend googling it and reading it out loud. It's amazing.❤️❤️❤️❤️

"I want to live the rest of my life, however long or short, with as much sweetness as I can decently manage, loving all the people I love, and doing as much as I can of the work I still have to do. I am going to write fire until it comes out of my ears, my eyes, my noseholes--everywhere. Until it's every breath I breathe. I'm going to go out like a fucking meteor!”
― Audre Lorde

@rmccouture Amanda you are truly one amazing lady I can tell that you have a heart of gold a true genuine person love this post as well , also ur closet is outstanding where u a model 😊
rmccouture
@bellafiore4 Thank you again Laura. No, I never modeled, but I did act, and that's what I'm doing here. Since the car accident, I can't be on stage anymore because of the lights and noise. I'm pretty much stuck at home most of the time. I'm artistic, and through Poshmark, have found a medium to "act" the part of a model, and create, what I feel are artistic listings... (cont)
rmccouture
@bellafiore4 We live in a society where a certain body type is considered attractive. I am the weight that I am because I have so much stress that I often forget to eat. Photo filters help to cover the exhaustion sometimes, and then there are some days when I can't find it in me to summon up the actress, and act as if I'm confident and okay... but then I find people like you on PM, who raise me up and tell me I'm worthy and doing well... (cont)
rmccouture
@bellafiore4 Getting external validation is not necessarily the goal of my life! I would like to feel okay without the need for others to tell me that I'm okay, but I'm in a weakened place in my life, and the Poshmark community is giving me the courage and support that I really need to keep moving forward. I'm very, very grateful to you and the Angels. I tried to express it once in a listing, but kept getting too choked up to finish...
rmccouture
@rmccouture My genetics are not a reflection of who I am. My mother was a beautiful woman, and I am blessed to have her genes. The inside beauty is harder to cultivate, but with your help, and the help of the other women on here who I have grown close to, I feel more beautiful inside. I am able to help people,.. (cont)
rmccouture
@bellafiore4 (I tagged myself above! Lol) I am able to be a role model again, and I am able to know that I could never be in a position to be of service without the help of God, who has placed me on a path where I have been graced by the goodness and love of this community. Some day, when I have time to breath, I'll write a blog or book or something about my experiences, but for now, just know that without PM, my life would be very, very dark...
rmccouture
@bellafiore4 You guys are saving my life. I'm not being dramatic, and I'm not talking about just sales (although that's a HUGE help). I've been broken so that I could be rebuilt on a firmer, more stable foundation. I believe that. You guys are helping me to rebuild, and become the woman that God intended me to be. (cont)
rmccouture
@bellafiore4 I don't think I could ever express the depth of my gratitude for your selflessness, kindness, community spirit and support. You are a very special woman Laura. It is an extraordinary honor to me to be placed amongst those closets who you respect most. The feeling is absolutely mutual. Sending tons of love, light and gratitude...❤️
bellafiore4
@rmccouture Amanda there's no need to thank me I am blessed to have meet u and gotten to know you . You do a great job modeling your pics And you are a beautiful lady inside and out .

@rmccouture I shared you tonight , I think the host believes I missed slot of closets but I went back recharged I've been doing this since 10 lol ,
rmccouture
@pamlaleyan I know that you did Pam. You should let her know that she was mistaken. It's important❤️
pamlaleyan
@rmccouture I did , I felt so bad I started sharing over lol and than people I know I shared and shared lol , but she looked again after I told her and she said she was mistaken , yes I don't want anyone to think I would take advantage , but I just think she was tired and looked at it wrong I did share others like dread head classy vintage and the lady with the pet , then reshared Lolol !! It's ok , thank you for being so kind 💐💐💐
rmccouture
@pamlaleyan Of course! I don't want you to be accused of doing something wrong when you were going above and beyond! ❤️❤️❤️
rmccouture
@mizfabulousity I can't wait!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Seriously, you coming in is one of the few things I am actually looking forward to! Life can be dark sometimes my friend. Your visit is a ray of sunshine, for real❤️
siouxshawn
Tagged you in the Taxco piece. It feels a bit pricy. No idea what something like that costs. What would you put it at. ?
rmccouture
@siouxshawn Did you google taxco sterling rosary and look through the images to see if you could locate one like yours? I'd also check eBay sold listings, and if there's nothing there, look for the active ones. Make sure when you cross-reference pricing that you keep the length and gram weight of yours in mind. Do you have a scale that measures grams? That's a handy-dandy thing to have❤️
siouxshawn
Well I found two one for 79 on eBay and one for $150 on etsy. I don't have a gram scale. Thought those were mostly for the drug trade ( just kidding). I can't remember what I paid for this but I sincerely doubt it was that much because I don't LOVE it so I'm guessing I bought it because it was not expensive.
siouxshawn
But also it was in Europe at an old church so that doesn't mean it doesn't have a lot of value and was just a flea market find. Just that I didn't pay a ton for it. So I guess it'll stay at $75 but I'm sure I'll drop it down because I really want to get rid of some stuff and this isn't one of those things I'm conflicted about parting with.
rmccouture
@siouxshawn Is the length the same as the ones you found on the other sites?

Love this. So true
healchno
Hi Amanda. Just wanted to check in to see how you are. Have been thinking of you a lot lately and hoping things are even the tiniest bit better than the last time we chatted.
rmccouture
@healchno ((((Heather))))) Thank you for your sweet note & thoughts! I am actually quite ill! I have the Flu. I don't think I've ever had it before... it's a crazy illness that has knocked me down for the count. I'm very grateful that I did not see my father when I was contagious (usually the Flu is contagious right before symptoms begin, and can be transmitted up to a week afterwards (cont)
rmccouture
@healchno I was diagnosed with it a week ago today, however I had gone to Urgent Care on Monday due to having a fever & was sent home without being tested for the flu, with cough medicine and a diagnosis of post-nasal drip!) My father was placed in a LOONEY BIN ward last month, but my step mother, who is really a saint, fought tooth and nail to have him transferred to another floor (cont)
rmccouture
@healchno He is not a bothersome patient. He barely can speak, he can't walk, and he doesn't scream out like the other patients on the ward he was on temporarily (he had screamed out a few months ago; not with the consistency of the patients on this particular ward, but at one point, it would have been understandable for him to be placed where the patients were very disruptive. He no longer does anything like that, so we pushed to have him moved, and he is actually being moved today).
rmccouture
@healchno So that's good news! (Albeit, tragic, it's better for him, and certainly better for us. It was very difficult being on the ward with the people screaming... my family really suffered being there, more so than usual). So, I will be staying home for at least another week. I have lost weight (as if I needed THAT!) and I'm terribly weakened from the illness. I am sad to be missing the beautiful weather, but will go out and get some fresh air later on. (cont)
rmccouture
@healchno How is everything with you? How's the new business with your hubby coming along? Are you doing anything fun for Halloween or Thanksgiving? Sending you a ton of love, light and gratitude for your thoughts of me Heather. It really does mean so much!❤️
healchno
@rmccouture I am so sorry you are ill! Ugh.. the flu is awful! Just makes you feel horrible! Rest and fluids to help you get better... I am so sorry about your dad. I know that is an awful place to have to visit a loved one in. I have had to do visit someone in that ward myself. They talked of wanting to die and were sent there. Cont...
healchno
@rmccouture Nothing is more depressing/distressing than being on a floor with individuals who hollar, hit, spit, and so on. It was very hard on my loved one and for family visiting. So, I am glad your dad got to move. Business is slow... not gonna give up though. Can't, gotta pay the bills, Alan's company is implementing some really stupid policies. He may need to look for something else.

Hi Amanda. I haven't overused your closet in quite some time, I enjoy every minute of it. Great eye. And so appreciate the conscious raising. Travel Light. Live Light. Spread the Light. Be the Light. ✌️😘

@jmurray7718 Hey Jennifer! Thanks so much for your interest in my Tiffany earrings. I see that you are new to Poshmark- Welcome! I just wanted to explain to you something about the listing you are making offers on. When a listing is marked "hold", it means that it is on hold for another buyer. I can't sell the earrings for less than the asking price because they're sort of promised to someone else. I have to get in touch with her first, because it would be disrespectful not to. (cont)
rmccouture
@jmurray7718 It's pretty late (I'm in NY, and it's after 2am). I am going to reach out to the other buyer & see what she wants to do. In the meantime, I'm going to stick with the price I've been countering you for. These earrings are very rare, & worth a lot more than what I'm asking. I sell on Poshmark because I was disabled in a car accident, & can no longer teach. I use my earnings here to support my daughter, & I can't really afford to go lower on them. (cont)
rmccouture
@jmurray7718 I should have mentioned this to you when you first bid on them. I apologize. Things have been a bit crazy this week, and it's only Tuesday! I will get back to you & let you know if they are available asap. I am sorry for not reaching out to you sooner regarding this situation. I just haven't had a moment to sit down & explain myself until now. I hope that you understand, & can forgive my belated explanation. ❤️Amanda
jmurray7718
@rmccouture Ohhh, you’re right I didn’t know. I will pay 260 for them. I bought the necklace and I think they’re beautiful. I hope everything works out. I’m here in Houston:))

I love you ❤️
