monday morning encouragement: embrace different & unique
Lately I have had just no confidence in myself & in my work. Well, actually I start out feeling really great about it, feeling really proud of it, but then I let one comment or flaw completely change that. Are any of you feeling the same way lately? It’s such a real struggle & just…

25 wishes for you
Today is my 25th birthday. It’s not an old age, but it’s not a young one either. It is wiser than the ages I’ve been before. It’s an age that is supposed to come with maturity, life experience, & is not an excuse for behavior anymore. It’s a year that marks growing up & growing…

monday morning encouragement: make a sound & let it be heard
I have a beater car. It’s cute & it’s black & boxy & I call it a poor girl’s Range Rover. It works well. It has no blind spots & only a few dents & scratches. I love this car. It’s always clean, it’s pretty reliable, & it’s the perfect size for just me. But,…

monday morning encouragement: piece it back together
The Monday after Thanksgiving…who else feels a little tired? Between getting ready for the holiday, the actual celebrating, cleaning up, shopping, & family time, it’s all just a big blur of exhaustion to me. I love this time of year. I love the gloomy weather, comfy sweaters, cozy blankets, family traditions, enjoyable memories, & so…

monday morning encouragement: more body love
I don’t ever remember a time when my pant size was less than double digits. When all of my friends in middle school & high school were wearing hip hugging jeans, I was wearing stretchy denim pants that were high waisted. I was okay wearing pants that weren’t “in” so that I could feel comfortable…

monday morning encouragement:
Self-doubt. It’s totally the elephant in the room today. At least for me it has been. It’s the reason that I’ve written & re-written what to say about six times already. It’s made me second guess every single idea I’ve thought was good. It made me hit delete, delete, delete on my all of my…

monday morning encouragement: it’s revival time
I’ve sat here thinking about what to write for quite some time. I wanted the topic that brought this series back to be something profound. I wanted it to be some sort of word explosion that had everybody at the edge of their seats & begging for more. I’m not sure if I’ll have the…

12 months of rae
Today my niece turns 1 year old! I can’t believe it’s already time for us to celebrate her first birthday. This year has honestly come & gone so fast. I can remember the day she was born so vividly as if it literally happened yesterday. I documented the day from beginning to end & shared it…

celebrating 5 years of blogging
Last week my blog turned five. FIVE! I have no clue how I’ve been doing this for five years already. It seriously blows me away that I have had this space for that long. It’s been a ton of fun, a lot of hard work, a bunch of great opportunities, & quite a bit of…
