But, no matter where you go, there’s something deeply rich in coming back home. Back to your roots. Back to your past. Whether the purpose is to find healing, hope, vision, restoration, or just revisit sweet memories — there is always something waiting for you in the homecoming.

Today whether it’s painful or it’s exciting, may you embrace the season of growth you are in. Having hope for what new parts of you will be refined or produced. Finding peace in the fact that you were made to grow.

I realized I get a choice in what voices I entertain. I don’t care how sneaky delicious Fear’s charcuterie board may appear — they're still not welcome. Nope — I’ve made up my mind. I’m making myself very clear.

“Everyone wants to change the world but in the process forgets to care for what’s in front of them. Smile at a stranger. Clean up the land. That’s more than enough. That’s actually what life is all about.”

But what we often really need, is to dust off those parts of ourselves that are already there. Those parts that have been forgotten, neglected. The parts that we haven’t given true intention or thought to. What you need is often already inside of you.

here, this puzzle gave me a blueprint for how to come out the the other side. How to come back to me.

What if as I go through life and stumble upon my shortcomings and flaws, I was no longer disappointed or appalled? What if instead, I found peace, and excitement even, that I’ve discovered another opportunity to grow? A new way to be formed into who I am meant to be?

I realized that the best thing you can offer the world does not actually come from what you say, what you do, or what you produce. No, the best thing you can give the world today is YOU.

Today, I’m feeling grateful. The real type of gratitude. May you give yourself space, to get to the same place. To truly realize, the gift that is your life.

You’d be surprised how different things could be if for once, you just bet on your hopes + dreams.

So may you have 10 seconds of courage today, where you say what you normally wouldn’t say. May your vulnerability be met with a sigh of relief as you learn, you too, are not alone.

What if that crack was not actually meant for tripping you up, but giving you a new purpose + place to bloom?

Who wants to be confident? Everyone. Many of us are just waiting for that day when we will wake up, look in the mirror, + love ourselves, feeling totally confident in our own skin. But what we don’t realize is that our confidence is like a garden that needs to be tended to.
