Be Courageous!

I spent my whole life trying to be who I thought others wanted me to be, needed me to be, or who I thought people expected me to be. Then one day, I realized I was depriving myself of an amazing life God had planned for me by not being who He created me to be. Just like that, I made the decision to be who I was supposed to be. It’s been scary, lonely at times, but the most rewarding, freeing experience of my life. 17498607_10101421650428431_4359977109973659292_nNo more shackles, no more strongholds, and no more guilt. My advice: Be you. Everyone else is taken. Set the world on fire with YOUR dreams, passions, heart, mind, smile, art, faith, and gifts/talents/purpose you’ve been given!

Are You Alive?

Thanks to @kammw97 for this little gem. I had a long overdue pow-wow with @livinlifephoto and @the_pearl_antler last night and this made me think of them. I a17457266_10101419294864001_3230263561573554471_nm reminded how blessed I am to be surrounded by such remarkable, strong, independent, go-get ’em women who defy the odds, buck public opinion, and are writing their own story and paving the path of their future not realizing how much they inspire others. Keep on keepin’ on!

 

Live Big!

Don’t Be a Prick

I’ve often been told I’ve lived a life wearing rose colored glasses … I’d rather be known for that then being mean, rude, and unkind. Negative attracts negative … meaning, you’ll only see the bad in people, situations, etc. and those are the people you’ll surround yourself with. However, when you equip yourself with faith, good friends, and trust that the difficult place in the journey is only temporary, it 17309707_10101411517494911_1430032243361338133_nmakes it all bearable. Just remember, at some point in life, you’ll ALWAYS reap what you’ve sowed. So, when you’re having a bad day, continue to sow kindness, peace, and love in other’s lives … and see what happens!

 

Live BIG!

“Some women are lost in the fire…”

“Some women are lost in the fire. Some women are built from it.” It’s no secret the last year has been full of everything from blessings to fires and one of the biggest doors opening was the opportunity to work with an amazing group of women who support my writing, my craziness, my art. It’s proof you’re never too old to step up and out of your comfort zone and try new things and have fun. I’m honored and excited to announce that I have the privilege to work as a brand ambassador for the one and only @lhtxbyleighkhajovsky (LHTX clothing line)! I absolutely adore the visionary17203251_10101401947413431_712219845595775147_n behind the label, but her sense of humor and go get ’em attitude has inspired and motivated me on more than one 2 a.m. occasion! Don’t ever let anyone tell you there’s anything you can’t do! Here’s to an awesome 2017!

 

Live BIG!
