You are not alone...

Ever since my divorce I have felt broken, disoriented, upside down some days + right side up others. I have cried for months at a time, but was fine days after that. I would workout feeling strong some afternoons then cry myself to sleep the very next night. Yep. That’s the truth. I wanted to escape, I wanted to give up, I wanted to run away. But I didn’t...

I would rather make mistakes than fake perfection

…We are all scared to make mistakes, especially #millennials. Mistakes aren’t pretty, they cause people to shame you, doubt you, even "fear" you. Yet, I don’t know why, because everyone makes mistakes? It's incredible that we want so badly to validate ourselves, that we use others mistakes to make ourselves feel better, instead of helping those who are tripping around us…

+ Something New +

Just when the caterpillar thought her life was over, she began to fly...

Guys! Big news! I moved to Nashville this week! I received an incredible opportunity to go on an exciting adventure + decided to go for it!

This last season has been one of the roughest I've known. Then, when life couldn't get more confusing, when prayers didn't seem to be working, when I lost hope in everything... I grew wings!

Don't try to be "better" than it by lying! Don't avoid it by numbing...

If you had to force it... just know it was never your door to open.

You can be whoever you want + do whatever you want - But not by taking what we want + doing what we want if it means losing our integrity. FYI: "Breaking in" is not hustling, it's trespassing. The same way forcing something is not leadership it's controlling.

You can force someone to do something or even say something, but in the end, what you really wanted was for THEM to WANT TO do it. Sadly, the reality is: If they wanted to say it, they would've. If they wanted to do it, they would've. But they didn't

When you don't know you're stuck by "Resentment"

Resentment is fog that clouds our perspective. It is full of pride, anger, disappointment, unmet expectations, sadness + death. You feel like you deserve to feel it (maybe you do), but it still will kill everything + everyone around you. When you wear it, people avoid you, because it is ugly.

NOTHING YOU DO OUT OF RESENTMENT WILL EVER BRING LIFE, LOVE OR JOY TO ANYONE!
