Believe it or not, when we choose to be who we are. To respect ourselves, our bodies, our morals. When we make the decision to stay authentic and real, we gravitate to people who do the same. When you choose to do these things, when you decide to put yourself first, you raise your standards. When we decideContinue reading “Just wait.”

Growth.
We cross paths with people that have such great impacts on our lives all the time. They teach us lessons and help us grow. They become part of our journey and some, part of our everyday life and routine. Some stay for a little while and slowly drift away and some, you end up unableContinue reading “Growth.”
It’s never too late.
It happens in the blink of an eye. One day, you’re 12 years old, riding your bike, playing with friends. You have no clue what the real world is like. The trials and tribulations that will be thrown your way but in that very moment, you know exactly what you want in life. Who you wantContinue reading “It’s never too late.”
Truth is, we’re all a little toxic.
Toxic is defined as something poisonous. Something at risk for default. Or that is simply, bad + unhealthy. It’s ultimately the perfect and most common explanation to a relationship gone wrong. Whether it’s with a friend, family member or significant other. We can usually find ourselves reflecting back to situations and being able to pointContinue reading “Truth is, we’re all a little toxic.”
Hopeful hearts.
Last week after seeing one of my fave influencer/bloggers share the, “Be Still 90 Devotions for the Hopeful Heat” by Cleere Cherry, I decided to hop on Amazon and order one for myself. Spoiler alert, Best $13 I have ever spent and I absolutely love it. Truth be told, I didn’t grow up going to Sunday schoolContinue reading “Hopeful hearts.”
My why.
About a year ago I made a small list in the front of a notebook that I use for absolutely everything. I always know it’s there so often times, I flip right past it searching for the blank page or whatever it is I’m looking for. This morning though, as I was about to startContinue reading “My why.”
Tomorrow is a new day.
My goal with incorporating blogging into my small business, was to just keep things real. To share the behind the scenes, ups and downs, the feelings, thoughts and just life in general. The pretty, the ridiculous, the sweet and even the ugly. So as far as being real goes…let’s talk about defeat. That is exactlyContinue reading “Tomorrow is a new day.”
Staying true to ourselves.
We make decisions every day. Simple choices mostly, like what order we want to start our morning in. If we are going to stop for coffee. What time we need to leave the house. Or what color shirt we want to wear. There are also decisions that maybe depend on our mood or just take aContinue reading “Staying true to ourselves.”
Darling, this is where you belong.
When we are young, we capture things around us like photographs. We see things that catch our attention. That inspire us. Pull on our heart. Captivate us entirely. We start to paint this image of who we want to be when we grow up, what we want to do, the type of house we want toContinue reading “Darling, this is where you belong.”
Loving the girl with a busy mind.
Loving someone with an overthinking mind is nothing short of a challenge. It takes a big heart, a lot of strength and more patience than most could imagine. We know it isn’t easy. A mind that is constantly picking things apart, can allow us to be more attentive. It can allow us to care and loveContinue reading “Loving the girl with a busy mind.”
