YOU are good. YOU are inspiring. YOU are meaningful, change-making, important, in this world. AND YOU LOOK GOOD DOING IT.

I don’t think there’s ever something as too many compliments. Compliments don't just feel good, they make us feel seen, recognized. The more complimenting of others for their service, their efforts, their small acts of kindness, the more we create a habit of gratitude, appreciation, open eyes, and celebration of others.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Go compliment someone today. And then a few more. #nationalcomplimentday

Sundays seem like a biscotti day. Specifically a white chocolate pecan biscotti day. Add a cappuccino or two and Sunday away my friends.

Vorrei una fetta di pizza ed essere in Italia.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you don't speak Italian, the only two words you need to know are pizza and Italy.

You made it through the first week of 2021 and if you're still there, you deserve chocolate cake. And not just one slice.

Home can be a lot of things. It can be a place, a city, a community, a conversation, a feeling. Whatever home looks like to you, home is meant to be a place of safety, serenity, security; a safe haven. Praying we all get to be home in some way today.

January 1. New Year’s Day. Also known as my second birthday in my household.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because it was the day I was adopted!!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No matter how good or bad the previous year was, and how good or bad the year ahead may be, January 1 is such a sweet reminder of plans laid ahead before me and the biggest blessing of a bigger picture.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Grateful for my parents and prayers today! Love ya mom and dad!

(Also if ya haven’t met Mary and Coke, you’re missing out BIG TIME. Add that to your 2021 goals.) #adoptionday

“What must I give more death to today in order to generate more life?

This year many things have died for me. My sources of creativity and inspiration that I look to have died. My hope in people and certain friendships have died. My old ways of thinking and perspectives, shame, and judgments have died. And as all of those died, they each paved their own form and way of grieving.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But the grieving was just the start. To make way for the greater. Hope. The hope that now more than ever, old parts of me have died away so that new parts of me may begin to grow into their new abundant life.

The picking and pruning and shaping of who I am this year was uncomfortable and weird and unnatural and scary, but I look back thinking about how I was being molded into so much more of who I am supposed to be and how in the pitfalls and valleys, my desire and closeness with hope is stronger than ever.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Felt good to write out my thoughts about 2020. On the blog. Merry Christmas!
