» Current mantra: we prioritize what's really important to us... so I'm fixing to prioritize some things right now. First: Jesus. Always Jesus. Second: my health and fitness, because I truly love myself but my body deserves to feel that love a lil bit more, ya feel me? Third: staying plugged in with my people, because this next season is going to be weird and cool and tough and I'm going to need to fight to keep connected while constantly traveling. Fourth: fully embracing this age and stage of life, keeping my spirit young and fresh always, and allowing my "old soul" to keep bringing the wisdom. This is a sweet spot — being (almost) thirty, flirty, and thriving — and I'm digging it✌🏼️
» I will choose adventure, and refuse to settle for anything less no matter how challenging, lonely, or mundane it may be. I will choose vulnerability and authenticity over perfect photos and curated feeds, and I will choose to always, always keep it real, hopefully only encouraging others to do the same. I will choose wind blown hair, to live fully in the present, to stop along the journey, and to love the people around me abundantly and excessively. And I will choose to chase my dreams, but never more than the One who gave them to me in the first place. Here's to choosing adventure, over and over and over again...
» What's the worst thing that could happen? Living in the tension of wandering over this last year, one of the most crucial things I’ve learned is that saying yes to the things you're being drawn or called to is rarely — if ever — a bad decision. Saying yes, being responsible to what's in front of you, and trusting that the pieces will come together is an act of faith that has the potential to alter you in the best of ways, believe me. So what has been nagging at you? What dream or vision keeps you up at night? What is the thing you feel like you were made to do but you've been too hesitant to get after it? I desperately want you to say YES to those things! After all, what is the worst that could happen? If the fear of failure is what’s holding you back, ya gotta get over it, because without the risk of failure there's no real chance for success. We can't let any kind of fear keep us from stepping into what we were made for, so do it scared if you have to (no shame in that, it's pretty much where I live these days). But if you know in your bones that you’ve got to do it, why wouldn't you... right? I just really hope that you'll say yes to whatever that thing is that you're thinking about right now, because I believe you've got it what it takes to do it, write it, speak it, be it, and get after it.

» Today I'm thankful for this girl, the many adventures we've shared over the last twenty years (wait, what?), and the fact that we always, always encourage one another to get after our craziest dreams! —— These are the kinds of friends we need in our lives: the ones who will stick around through thick and thin, who embrace all that you are and all that you believe, who challenge you toward your potential and your dreams, and who love without limits. They are rare and beautiful and should be celebrated, and I only hope I can be this kind of friend, too. —— If you're walking through a season where you feel alone, trust me, I feel you. But I want us to stick together and encourage one another, so please let me know how I can do that for you below! 👇🏼
