Out To Sea

While in Boston I went on a whale watch. Had a pretty close to perfect day on the water. I saw around six whales, such beautiful creatures. It is a must if you have never been.

Trip to Canada

Montreal. So much history in this city. And as history has shown us, when all the dust settles we can rise up and make something beautiful of all the broken pieces.

Travel Thoughts

Took a trip to Montreal, Quebec this month.. It is a beautiful city. I loved walking around and experiencing something completely different and meeting new people. I realize this life is short and as I sat in a park sipping some coffee this quote just kept replaying in my mind. "This is your life, this is your story. And when all is done and said may you live with no regret." Travel. Explore. Love. I hope my life outlives me.

Dance Upon Disappointment

" Awake my soul to sing with Your breath in me, I will worship. You taught my feet to dance upon disappointment and I will worship. "

One thing I have found is that you will be disappointed or let down in this life, But with Him I have found the strength to dance in the midst of it all.

Just To Clarify

"Leadership is influence, not title." Who are you influencing? Are you living what you preach? Make sure and live a life to be proud of. You may have no idea who you are influencing so make sure and give a great example of a life well lived. Every decision matters.

 

Also, took this picture at the Biltmore is Asheville, such a beautiful place!

Natural

Was recently a part of a photo-shoot where we were not allowed to wear any makeup. I was really nervous to be a part because I never leave my house without even mascara on, but it turned out to be really fun. Doing things like this make me realize makeup doesn't make you beautiful. Confidence, class, bravery, kindness.... that's what makes you beautiful.

Unique

" Being different is a revolving door in your life where secure people enter and insecure exit." - Shannon Alder

We need to understand that when people leave you or make you feel like you aren't enough, that it is actually a reflection of who they are and their own insecurities.
