So many of us believe we are not courageous and that we can't be brave, but I am here to tell you the truth. Courage and bravery exists within you.
You are powerful, but our identity has been attacked for so long that we have forgotten the truth of who we are. Mistakes, life's circumstances, people's opinions, jobs, things we have done in the past, it does not define us.
You have courage to step up to do the things you feel in your heart. Those dreams that have tugged at you for so long, you are brave enough to go after them. There have been gifts placed inside of you and the world will never get to experience them, if we never allow that courage and bravery to come out where it belongs.

When the waves of life come crashing down, what do you do?
I gotta tell you, it's so easy to be tempted to throw a fit and fall into a negative attitude, but what helps me is looking at my situation and realizing where I have been blessed. Switching my mindset to an attitude of gratitude. What am I grateful for?
This week I have had quite a bit of pain (from accident - see stories) and each day it seems like something else is acting up on my body. Today was back pain. But you want to know something crazy?? I am actually grateful for this pain. It's annoying, but I am grateful because it reminds me that I am alive and recovering with minimal injuries. Life can throw us some curveballs for sure, but now I realize that all the fits I threw in my younger years got me nowhere other than in a moaning, grumbling, complaing attitude that did not produce anything good.
So today, I have gotten to live this beautiful day. I chose to stop to look at the leaves on the trees thinking about how grateful and blessed we are.

How many times do we miss out on enjoying something simple?
We live in the Charleston area and planes are always flying in to land. I find it so exciting to see them come in and have had an idea of photographing them as they land. I haven't found the best spot to sit and photograph yet, but I caught this one while in the car.
I took my camera out really fast hoping I would be able to capture it fast enough and I did!
I edited the photo this way because it speaks. This plane, a powerful vessel, soars over the trees and the clouds with its wings spread out, full of confidence in everything that exists within it.
Everything that is in it allows it to operate and do what it needs to do. But if an area is broken or low in fuel, then it wont be able to perform.
I want to say to you as we head into a new week, you are going to soar and fly high. Even if you don't feel like you are worthy, you are worthy. You have everything within you in order to start and move forward. You have confidence, you just have to believe that it exist within you. Hold your head up high and put those shoulders back. You can walk into a room being who you are and never have to shrink back for those around you. Own your place.
But remember we need rest and need to refuel in order to keep going and perform at our best. Take time out for you to rest and refuel, because girlfriend you have so much greatness inside of you! You are worthy and so amazing ❤
