It is important to remember that everyone that you encounter is human, that your problems are not always bigger or more important than theirs. We have the power and the opportunity every day to show others that love and kindness exist.

No Holding Back
My story hasn’t always been an easy one and my childhood was not conventional in most ways, but at the end of the day that doesn’t matter. What matters is what we do with what we have been given. And for me that is a commitment to be the best version of me, the one that I know this world needs. No more holding back.
Let Your Light Shine
began to change my mindset, allowing myself the freedom to try things and to explore my interests. And slowly but surely I found myself doing things that I never would have thought I would enjoy or be able to follow through with. All of this to say, that the boxes we put ourselves in often times are only inhibiting us from truly living and thriving. A flower put beneath a box will soon wilt from lack of sunshine and oxygen and in the same way we can thrive if we are constantly forcing ourselves to stay the same.
Love Always
In this time, I have felt that even more deeply. These days feel dreary for a lot of people; waves of uncertainty and anxiety roll in thick like the morning fog. And someday it is hard to muster up the strength to look for the sunshine or to even want to let hope take root.
Yet the beautiful thing is that we aren’t alone in this time, we still have the power to connect and reach out to others. We are not alone, for love always shows up. We can come together and be hope for those who are desperate for any sign of spring. We can still find ways to be love to others even from afar. And that is why I decided to make it my goal to write 100 letters in the month of April- because love always finds a way to show up for others. This month for me that looks like writing handwritten notes and providing some extra encouragement to those who I love or even those who I don’t know.
Taking Inventory

Immediately I could feel a sense of panic rising within me, since buying my car I have had countless tire problems… Continue reading Taking Inventory
Love Triumphs Fear
Fear will tell you to retreat. To hide in the shadows. To focus on your inadequacies.
Love on the other hand is empowering and encouraging. It pushes you forward and reminds you of the purpose within your heart.
In what ways have you let fear cause you to retreat and hide? How can you shatter those walls and let love triumph

The dust stirs all around. Waiting to settle, but unable to because of all the commotion and chaos that pull and tugs within my heart. Some of it is intentional, the busyness, the running around the lack of rest within my schedule. The constant searching for something more. It is all to no avail, for… Continue reading Dig Deeper
Today I got four new tires for free. Through Gods grace and faithfulness, it’s a story that I hope encourages you. This week has been a rollercoaster, well really the past few months have, but those details aren’t important right now.
