This is not a picture perfect photo, this is raw unedited. For the past few post, my hair hasn’t been done, no makeup, just me. It felt good. It felt good not to be picture perfect. Recently through networking, I came across someone who genuinely believes in me and my career. She gave me an opportunity of a lifetime. She looked at all of my accomplishments and told my story in a way that I couldn’t have imagined. She sold me. I know what your thinking, how can someone else tell your story better then you. It’s crazy, because when you have lived it, it becomes harder (in my opinion) to express it. These last two years have been particularly challenging for me. Having a baby, becoming a single mom, dealing with postpartum depression, back and forth to court. It was like so much. (literally crying while writing) But this year I want to be intentional about choosing me. So I decided to move to Columbus, Ohio to place myself in this rare opportunity to level up. It’s just me and my baby in this new city alone. I mean I’m from Cleveland if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere lol. But I think we are up to the challenge. Wish us luck and connect us to anyone you know in Columbus! #columbus #asseenincolumbus #columbusohio #cbus #614 #lifeincbus #expcols #columbusalive #ohio

It's not what's under the Christmas tree that matters, it's who is around it. Wishing you abundance, hope, peace, and a festive holiday season. #dominiqueandomari #clevelandinfluencer #ohiobloggermom

A letter to my support system: When I first realized that I wanted a PhD, you cheered, you supported, you made sure that no matter what even if I didn’t want to I crossed the stage and I obtained my degree. When I realized I was pregnant, you were more happier than I was. I was shocked, in disbelief and didn’t know what to do or where to start. You were there, you provided endless time resources and energy that I didn’t understand at the time. When I realized that I would be a single mother, you cried with me, hugged me, fed me because I wasn’t eating, you sat with me because the feeling of being alone was way to overwhelming. You gave and gave and gave and continue to do so. This holiday season is so special to me because without my support system I’m not sure where I would be. If you have people in your life willing to go that extra mile cherish them. Because I will spend the rest of my life showing my appreciation for their time, energy, love and support. I thank God everyday that I can hug and kiss my mother, brother and son on a daily basis and spend this holiday season with them. Long post I know, but Happy Holidays from the Rose Family. If your following me I appreciate you. Merry Christmas 🎄 Dominique

I survived! Thanks to @clearchoicelasik , Dr. Wiley who is Recognized as a National Keratoconus Foundation Top Doctor and a Top Doctor by OH TopDocs in 2020! I can finally say goodbye to my contacts and glasses! If your ever considering LASIK get your free consultation with @clearchoicelasik their research is amazing and are ahead of the game with their technological advancement! I’m in the recovery phase and have my post op appointment tomorrow! What are your questions about the process or procedure? #midwestbloggers #clevelandinfluencer #ohioinfluencer #columbusinfluencer #lasiksmile

The countdown begins….About a month ago I experienced a very painful eye infection. I could not see out of my right eye, I was completely sensitive to light to the point that hurt, and I cried. I cried because of the pain, I cried because I thought I was going to lose my vision and I cried because I thought my life as changing. My infection stemmed from a “altered” contact. I know what your thinking. You didn’t switch up your contacts, you didn’t clean your contacts. Let’s be clear, I switched my contacts weekly, I clean my contacts as much as I wash my hands. My OD said I had a “bad batch”. I have been wearing contacts since my mom would buy them. I begged her to switch me out of glasses in early high school. I’ve worn contacts most of my life. This isn’t suppose to happen to me. So I’m done. No more. I made the decision to get Lasik eye surgery. Will you follow me on my journey? Any suggestions on how I should document? #lasikeyesurgery #lasiksurgery #lasik #clevelandlasik #clevelandeyeclinic #eyesurgery

One word: Grateful 🥲 There are so many things that I am grateful for, my mother, my brother, my family and friends! Gratitude Creates the most wonderful feeling it can resolve disputes, it can strengthen friendships, but most importantly I can make us better human beings. One my first lessons was to learn how to express Gratitude and that giving is better than receiving. This is a for sure life lesson I want to teach my son! What are you grateful for? • • • • • #thankful #grateful #blessed #gratitude #godisgood #thankyou #faith #trust #dominiqueandomari
