Instagram post 2191627838137186862_3672683706 I’m Number 1. 
1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. I am ONE of those women. I know, this is jaw dropping news to hear.  It was jaw dropping when I went in on October 31st (the last day of breast cancer awareness month) to get a mammogram and ultrasound.  My doctor confirmed that what I found during my self check exam was in fact a lump on October 1st.  My head has been spinning since October 31st when what should’ve been a routine mammogram and ultrasound ended up being a biopsy to two areas on the same day.  On November 4, one month to the day, I received the devastating news that both biopsied areas were positive.  I have stage 3 invasive ductal carcinoma.  Wanna here the irony? I joined the @lynnsagecrf board in April to help bring awareness and raise money for OTHER women with breast cancer.  Who knew I would be one of those women.  Joining the board will save my life because it helped me realize I hadn’t had a mammogram in 3 years.  I started this blog 3 years ago.  I started the blog to take my attention off of what was missing in my marriage.  Now, here I stand, going through a divorce with two sons that I love (more than life) and breast cancer. Why? So I can help spread awareness to women to go to the doctor.  SELF CARE begins with going to the damn doctor.  Did I want this job? HELL NO! But, as I am constantly reminded by the many women that love me that I am a STRONG WOMAN and I’m getting ready to fight.  I’m fighting for the new life that I was just getting started with. I’m not done creating a community, working with amazing brands, and living my life out loud. If you have a GOD that you believe in, pray for me.  Pray for Clark and Stone, pray for my wusband (he was my husband) and pray for the many women (1 in 8) that are in my shoes.  Thank you so so much to my family and friends that are by my side and cheering me on and refusing to let me be me and do this by myself.  I love you! #1in8 #breastcancerawareness #lynnsagecrf #clarkandstone #womensupportingwomen

This holiday is extra special all thanks to @tiffanyandco I created my ultimate wishlist for the holidays for you and your loved ones. The Tiffany T collection offers bold, clean lines inspired by the letter T. And, don’t forget diamonds really are a girl’s best friend especially when they are from Tiffany & Co. Take a sneak leak at all the beautiful jewelry I got to try during my visit to the Michigan Avenue store. Or, enjoy my wish list with a few of my favorite things (more in stories). #veryverytiffany  #TiffanyPartner #clarkandstone PC: @juleskens

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.  My life is so different this year yet I am even more grateful.  I’m grateful for my sons for without them I wouldn’t know what unconditional love is.  I’m thankful for my friends for I wouldn’t know how to truly love the life I live.  I’m so grateful for my family for I wouldn’t be who I am without them.  And, last but not least, I’m so grateful for YOU for I wouldn’t have this community to share my life with.  It is here that I continue to share the curated and non curated part of this messy thing called life.  I’m so grateful that I get to heal and inspire all as I navigate this beautiful mess called life.  I’m just getting started ya’ll.  Happy Thanksgiving!!! Love, Ceta

I’m back...for now.  The past few weeks have been a whirlwind to say the least.  But, I couldn’t pass up sharing this gorgeous suit from @anntaylor Jules and I always manage to have a crazy moment when we shoot (anyone remember the crazy motorcycle story). Well, this time a guy was trying to photobomb me and then asked if he could be in the picture.  I’m like beat it dude!!! I’m trying to look like it’s not 30 degrees right now. 😜

Thank you so much to all my friends that have reminded me I’m kind of a bad ass.  2019 continues to be the biggest plot twist of my life but I’ve got this and I’m about to give it my all.  Stay tuned there’s more to unfold. “Even when I’m a mess, 
I still put on my vest, 
with an S on my chest, 
Oh yes 
I’m a superwoman.”- @aliciakeys

Instagram post 2171233319562623680_3672683706 This Too Shall Pass!
I can’t begin to thank everyone for the heartfelt text messages, phone calls, DM’s, emails, and comments on the blog post.  I wrote and re-wrote, and read, and re-read this before I hit the publish button. I wanted this post, although so personal, to inspire women and mothers to know their feelings are validated and the feeling of feeling “alone” is so real.  I know every divorce is different but the peaks and valleys are the same.  It’s not easy.  Stephen and I were kids trying to be adults when we got married.  We are two completely different people now.  Divorce is never easy with or without kids.  Kids are just one of the excuses we use when we have them.  I’m by no means advocating divorce.  I believe in the institution of marriage.  Hell, I want to re-marry one day (NO TIME SOON). But, I do want this post to inspire and empower women to put themselves first!  If you are still in love with your significant other (don’t hold on to anger like I did) fight for the love you share between each other.  And, if you don’t, this too shall pass! 
Love and Light, Ceta

Hi! I’m Ceta mother to Clark (8) and Stone (6). I see some new followers and wanted to say hi.  I love/write about all things fashion, motherhood, and travel.  If you’ve read my about page on www.clarkandstone.com I describe my style as classic, edgy, and a little boho.  I rented my Chanel little black glove from @janetmandell and was inspired to live out my edgy rock vibes.  How would you describe your personal style?

I’m classic and cool in my head to toe look for fall.  My new fave shoe is the @adidas Supercourt shoe in white.  It’s stylish and comfortable and it pairs quite nicely with my leopard print crop hoodie and legging.  It’s the perfect #momiform for this mama on the go.  I definitely achieved cool girl status with my fall fashion look.  After all, Adidas is #homeofclassics #AD
