You Deserve to See the Light Within You

You deserve to see the light within you that others see about you. How often do we dismiss the love and compliments that others give to us because we aren’t able to see it for ourselves? When we do that, we only create this cycle of feelings of not being good enough. We so often […]

Keep Holding Onto Hope

Life is truly a rollercoaster. It’s full of excitement, highs, fear, lows, uncertainty and regret. Those are probably all some of the feelings you’ve had, before, during or after a rollercoaster ride. Right now my rollercoaster is in one of those low spots. It’s been so frustrating to watch my mom fight pancreatic cancer for […]

Choose to Start Despite Your Fears

I woke up this morning like, “oh crap, I don’t know what to write about for tomorrow’s blog.” I still really don’t. I am feeling less than inspirational. But I think the really cool thing about blogging or journaling is that there is a flow to it. Once I start writing, some idea just starts […]

It's Okay to Start Again—You Are Recovering & Growing

I know I am not alone when I say I struggled with the “supposed to’s”. It was my birthday week, so it was supposed to be a great week. And for the most part, it was. But it really all felt like it came crashing down the day after when I felt really self-conscious about […]

I Am So Proud of You

I am so proud of you. For fighting through the pain. For continuing to move forward, despite all of the days you wanted to give up. For choosing you, even when other choices seemed more desirable. For choosing to see the light within the darkness. For choosing to not settle. For choosing to be who […]

2020 Has Only Made You Stronger

What a whirlwind 2020 has been. Many of us will look back at this year of all that it took from us. 2020 has been incredibly difficult. 2020 has taken away security in so many ways, it has taken away stability, it has taken away coping mechanisms that we once had, like spending time with […]

Give Yourself the Gift of Self-Love

Always remember that who you are is a gift. You are a gift to this world just by being you. We don’t give ourselves enough credit. We can be so mean to ourselves for our mistakes, and be so compassionate to a friend for that very same mistake. It’s great you can see the good […]

You Are Worthy As You Are

We don’t give ourselves enough credit. We so easily put ourselves down and tell ourselves that we aren’t good enough, or that we aren’t worthy of reaching a certain goal, or worthy of continuing on. We make mistakes and we beat ourselves up. That mistake and the feelings of guilt that come along with it […]

Dream Big, You Are Capable of Amazing Things

In a weird way, the pandemic has reignited my passion for my work. For a while, I was writing blog posts more as an obligation than as a desire to help others. I was in a slump, not feeling really positive or optimistic about the future. I know not everyone is in the same boat […]

People Come and Go But Always Help with Our Growth

Some people come into your life for only a season, but for the most important reasons. We will never fully understand why some people come into our lives and why some people leave. Sometimes, the people that we wanted to stay with with every ounce of our being leave. Those are the moments that hurt […]
