Let your emotions be big. Let the pride and the confidence take over if it makes you happy. Be forgiving and continue to focus not on getting better, but just being better.

Cheers to One Year, St. Lou
This was totally meant to be one of those, "saved drafts" that never sees the light of day. But I think these last 12 months are something to be celebrated so - cheers to all the friends who keep me sane, the family who supported my decisions, and the girl who stood strong and is continuing to make all of this happen.
be kind.
I'm tired of just seeing words like "ignorance, bigot, hypocritical, and greedy" come across my news feeds. I'm ready to showcase the compassion, acceptance, and love that I know the majority of this country has.

This doesn't mean I avoid any heavy conversations, it just means … Continue reading I Took a Social Media Diet…

Perfume Sweet & Whiskey Strong
Truthfully, I hope that one day I'm able to mentor a young lady the way I've been mentored over the last couple of years. I think that's one of the best tools we as women have - the power to help one another through the adventures of life. Everything is a learning experience, and we'll all make mistakes. One of the biggest things we can do for one another is tell our stories and support those we have the chance to work with.
Making a Home
I know I'm young, and millennials are supposed to never settle down, but I don't think I'd be able to survive without splurging and turning this place into a real home. Plus, I've always considered myself to be a product of the wrong generation.
