If you’re feeling empty, invest. Invest in yourself. Take time to slow down & breathe for a minute. Take the time to learn something new. Take the time to really look at all you do on a daily basis – all of the different roles you play. Take the time to create something […]
This past weekend I attended a conference for creative entrepreneurs in The Woodlands, Texas. Initially I was excited to have a conference nearby & in a price range I could manage. Then I got excited about the speaker line up. Then I got excited about the people. Y’all, the information was great. (I ended up […]
This blog has been a place for me to share life & work with y’all, & I think that the two have intersected sooooo much in the past few months. As always, I’m going to be real honest with y’all… it is so so so hard to be re-building my photography business in Houston, building […]
Y’all know I love me some Chip & Joanna Gaines (like most people). I’m currently reading The Magnolia Story as part of my Yearly Bucket List for this year, and while I think the woman is an incredible designer, I’m am the most in awe of her wisdom & her faith. I’ll admit, I tend […]
Yes, it’s Valentine’s Day today. Yes, today’s supposed to be about love. But I hope today you focus on more than just romantic love. Celebrate love of family. Love of friends. Love of nature.

Ok, so I have to guess that I’m probably not the only one around here completely hooked on This Is Us. I have seriously cried in every episode I think! (And don’t lie – you know you have too!!) It’s seriously gotten to the point where I have to hope that Max doesn’t walk in while […]
Lately we have been in a season with Peanut where it seems that almost every simple, little task turns into a drawn-out battle. Eating breakfast, getting dressed, getting in the car, cleaning up, going to the bathroom, eating dinner, feeding the dogs, getting in PJs, going to bed… and on and on. These seemingly simple […]
Go getcha some success today, y’all. Even if it’s a tiny little piece. You might just find you should trust yourself more often! My first round of Light Letters went out last night & I’m thrilled. A little encouragement, hopefully a little laughter, and a little free coffee went out to inboxes all over […]
If there’s something you’ve been considering doing, or especially if there’s something you’ve been dreaming about, I want to be the person who says to you: “Go for it.” I know sometimes we feel like we need permission to try something new. To branch out. To do that thing we can’t seem to kick out […]
