  • Spending time with an amazing community of women is always on the agenda. 🦄💜🎉
  • My Motto Forever: I do what I do to show my girls they can do it too.
  • Spending time with Him this morning. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today begins the beginning of a new season for me. I made a bold decision last week to resign from my full time position and step out on faith. Just typing that out makes it even more real. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The thought has tugged at my heart for as long as I had a job. Seriously. But something happened this year where the voice of God has been getting louder with every Sunday, Sabbath, & sermon. Something was stirring, but I was afraid. Afraid of the unknown. Afraid of losing the salary. Afraid of falling into a purposeless life. All of this while I sit stuck, unused, unappreciated, undervalued, not using any of the gifts God has planted in me. The purpose in that assignment had been fulfilled, but I was sitting in fear. Then, on a random Tuesday, I heard Him speak again - and this time, without hesitation, I resigned & didn’t have an ounce of fear about anything. I still sit in that confidence today. Not because of me, but because of who He is. I mapped out everything. Piece by piece. I didn’t realize how many things I have waiting on ME to step in. I’ve never had so much clarity and purpose waiting ahead of me ever in life, yet I was sitting paralyzed with fear. Today that ends. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to bloom.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s finally my time to bloom. 🌸 I have work to do.
  • Summer is not summer without special treats to beat this heat! Popsicles are our FAVE so we were super excited to try out ones from @chloesfruit which are made with fruit, water & cane sugar. That’s it & they taste soooooo good. Laila is a HUGE fan. Anything without 77 ingredients, tastes good & doesn’t make her bounce off walls after eating it is a winner in my book! #sponsored
  • It’s a powerful feeling when you finally get the courage to step out and bet on yourself. Stepping out on faith! Story coming soon.
  • Pretty much sums up our summer over here. ☀️
