There is beauty that surrounds me.  In the four walls of my tiny apartment, there is love.  I am engulfed by goodness, hope, and courage.  A support system to lean on and the opportunity to reach for my dreams.  I am encouraged and guided.  I know that I can spread my wings and try to learn how to fly.  

I am a seeker of beauty, laughter, kindness. I want to fill this world with sunshine and light.  Love notes and feathers found remind me of the beauty in the unexpected and thoughtful connections to those who are here and those who have passed.  

I take time to savor the moment.  To feel the warm sunshine on my skin.  Appreciate the way his hand feels when it is holding mine.  And love the connections that come when we choose to be vulnerable and allow our hearts to be seen.  

I show up in this world with my heart on my sleeve.  Weaving connections from our true stories, even the ones that are difficult to tell.  We all know that life isn't always sparkly and I choose to embrace all the moments. 

I want to live out loud. To leave my mark of kindness and compassion.  I want to encourage others to hold there stories gently, examine them, and tell them.  I want to be a guide for you as you show up the page.  I want to let you know that you aren't alone. 

I want to bring you together with others.  Because it is in community where incredible breakthroughs occur.  There is so much kindness and love in this world.  Compassion for each other stories.  When we are surrounded by this we grow immensely into the person we always wanted to be.  

But most importantly I want to give thanks.  For this life, right here, right now.  It hasn't always been easy.  There have been mountains to climb and pieces to but back together.  It has been a journey filled with incredible emotion and it has all lead me to here.  To this very moment where I sit smiling.  My heart filled with love and gratitude.  

Grateful for it all.
