{N E W B L O G P O S T} Friends, the last few days have rocked me and it’s reminded me of the danger of caring too much what everyone thinks; trying too hard to do everything and be everything to everyone. I can’t do it, and the more I try the more inadequate I feel. It’s a dangerous, no-win situation to care what everyone thinks. As much as I’d like to be seen, heard, and matter to everyone... I’ve realized that this is an impossible goal, and often leaves me not able to recognize or appreciate the very special people in my life, or to see how much I do matter to a few. I matter, immensely. I am a giant in the hearts of a few people that matter. This needs to be enough, for it is these relationships that I feel seen, heard, valued, and appreciated.... even if not everyone sees me, I’m seen by those who are closest to my heart. Just as I see and appreciate you. Always, Your Trusted Friend ❤️ Photo Credit: @brienne.kristen.photography

Friend, you are beautiful. I treasure and love those moments when I can see all of you. - Always, your trusted friend ❤️

{N E W B L O G P O S T}. Friend, sometimes it’s essential to look back in order to see how far we’ve come - particularly when we start to feel stuck or when we face hardships. When we look back we can see all that we’ve accomplished and done, and this can bolster us and inspire us to keep putting one foot in front of the other as we continue to grow and move forward. . You see, friend, it’s easy to get caught up in the problems of today, in the seeming failures we are facing and to feel dejected and disappointed. . When we allow ourselves periods of reflection we can see quite clearly how every hardship, sorrow, and failing has contributed to the changing masterpiece within us. .

Friend, how often we forget to really look at ourselves and at how far we’ve come. Today I saw me and the vast distance that I’ve traveled. Looking back the girl I was seems as a stranger. . What struck me the most, though, was how much my life experiences and the people around me have shaped me, formed me, and allowed me to grow into the woman that I am today. . Particularly my pain and sorrow. The things I once saw as my failures are key moments that have contributed to this woman that I am today, and I am thankful. . This perspective is important. It’s important to be able to observe the life lessons that have led you to this point you now find yourself. It reminds you that everything you experience is a lesson that you can move and grow from. . Now I see. . Always, your trusted friend ❤️

Friend, have you ever approached someone about something that was bothering you, and instead of them listening to you and attempting to find a solution they, instead, find a way to make you feel bad about about it? . I have found myself in this situation too many times. Bringing up a concern, an issue, an area where I didn’t feel my needs were being met and I was met with resistance and criticism. I was met with excuses and attacks that resulted in me regretting I’d opened up about my feelings at all. . I will continue to use my voice, friend, despite this. Additionally, when I met this resistance I will take this as a sign that this person isn’t for me. Relationships that are healthy are ones that you can use your voice. They are ones that allow you to be heard. They are ones that find common ground and solutions. Someone worth my time will never turn my concerns, fears, and insecurities around onto me. . Let’s find that and remember to create and keep boundaries that protect ourselves and allow us to be treated with the respect we deserve. . Always, your trusted friend ❤️

Friend, Through failure comes lessons. Failure can be the redirection needed to realign with the path we are supposed to be on. Failure, along with pain, teaches lessons meant to be learned. For failure to serve its purpose, we must lean into it to improve, grow, and become the best version of ourselves. Always, your trusted friend ❤️
