She Is Blooming....

Once, there was a little girl with big dreams. 

Once, she was told she would never live to see them be reality. 

Once, people came along who told her who she truly could be. 

And because of those people, she is blooming. 

There are so many moments I could share from my life that sum up what I wrote above. However, at the moment I’m not thinking of me.  

I’m thinking of the little girl sitting in her classroom being bullied because she’s different. 

I’m thinking of the mom who just found out that her child will never be “normal.” 

I’m thinking of the college student who feels like they’ll never measure up to a high standard of achievement. 

I’m thinking of the person who just found out they don’t have long to live; And maybe they feel like they don’t have anything to give. 

No matter if you fall into one of those categories or another, if you’re still here, you have something to give. You have a reason to smile, laugh, cry, or something in between. 

Who knows what will happen? Maybe you will see your dreams become reality, or maybe you won’t. 

But it’s the people that you surround yourself with that can help you accomplish those things. It’s those people that encourage you, champion you, and push you beyond your comfort zone that help you become more. 


Hang on to to close friends. You won’t regret it. They’ll help you to continue to grow. 🌸

Learning To Embrace The Crazy

Have you ever had a bad day? Not just any bad day, but the kind that could be turned into a movie?  It might have gone something like this: after waking up late because your alarm didn’t go off, you didn’t have time to eat breakfast. So, you make your favorite quick breakfast drink. On your way to work you spilled your drink while checking your email & walking down the hallway.  Then, you have a meeting but didn’t have time to go home & change. So, while attending the meeting you try to send a quick text to someone to bring you a change of clothes fast, because you need to present at another meeting. But your friend can’t help ya out. So, you head to the ladies room to clean up.  As you try to clean up, you end up getting little bits of paper towel all over yourself & it looks much worse. That’s not all, though. You decide that since your outfit is at it’s worst, you could at least freshen up your makeup. As you get the makeup from your purse, the unthinkable ...

Flourish

 “Flourish: To grow or develop in a healthy or vigorous way, especially as the result of a particularly favorable environment.” There are a lot of observations I could take away from that definition. What stood out to me reading it today was that flourishing is the result of a favorable environment.  We all are affected by our environment negatively & positively, even when we might not realize it. Some of the factors are out of our control. Others, we choose.  We can choose to have a friend group that either tells us the hard truth even when it’s painful to hear, or pick ones who tells us we’re “all good” when the opposite is true.  We have the ability to choose if our lives will flourish based upon what we bring into our inner circle.  How will you be intentional about flourishing?
