PASSION

October 17, 2019

The hardest parts of any blog post that I write are the opening and the closing. I imagine myself coming up with some sort of witty attention grabbing opener, and then ending it with some sort of sage advice that makes people want to come […]

My first half of my Sparkle Studs order arrived to My first half of my Sparkle Studs order arrived today, and I keep alternating between wanting to cry and beaming with joy. 

THANK YOU to everyone who sponsored... I was able to order 25 pairs of studs total, and with my @stelladot sisters we will be donating a total of 276 Sparkle Studs to @dfsnashville ... 

TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY-SIX pair. 

😍 That's AMAZING!!! 😍

I am blown away. I am honored to have been a part of this. But more than anything, I am humbled by the generosity of others. It is thanks to YOU that I am getting to help deliver these beautiful earrings to be given to women starting the next chapter in their lives. 

Thank you. 💖 Thank you. 💖 Thank you.

Got to photograph friends today who lost their hom Got to photograph friends today who lost their home in the big tornado a year ago. I photographed them in their home in April 2020 before what was left was torn down. Today we recreated those photos in their new home that was just finished. My heart is so happy for them! 

My camera backpack has become the home of my pin collection. It might not be the most professional looking, but it makes me smile and tells you a LOT about me.

I've never been one to wear "big" earrings. But my I've never been one to wear "big" earrings. But my new adventure into @stelladot is pushing me out of so many of my comfort zones, and I am absolutely LOVING that it is. I'm learning so much both personally and professionally.  I am more focused and determined than I have been in a long time. It's given me such a boost that I didn't even know I needed. #stellaanddot #sdambassador #selfportrait

Two weeks ago, I ordered some stickers from @isabe Two weeks ago, I ordered some stickers from @isabelaschielkestudio ... I specifically wanted the ones that referred to "Jesus and coffee." I'd been using variations of that line a lot over the last several months, and when I saw her products on someone else's post here on IG I didn't even think twice. I hit order. 

That same night my husband was on his way home from a private tour bus drive for a client in Florida. It had been a grueling weekend of him and his co-driver doing 9-10 hours behind the wheel at a time before switching back and forth. I called my husband as I left work just to let him know I was heading home. They were in Alabama and would be home sometime in the early morning hours. He was dragging and said, "You know, I am going to swing into this truck stop for coffee." We hung up as he pulled into the lot of the truck stop. 

A few hours later be called me shaken up. They had come up on the aftermath of the tornado that hit Fultondale, Alabama. And it was bad. Really bad. It had crossed the interstate just minutes before. His co-driver in the background said, "If you hadn't stopped for coffee, we would have been right in the middle of it."

Jesus and coffee came to have a whole new meaning to me in that moment. ☕✝️🙏

I received my sticker order this week. I can not recommend Isabela's products more. They are amazing quality, she is so talented, and her sweet note of thanks was appreciated deeply. Go check her out and snag some goodies! #shopsmall #stickers #jesusandcoffee #faith #prayerfortheroad

I'm starting a new adventure, and it's launching o I'm starting a new adventure, and it's launching on Monday. I've become an ambassador for @stelladot and were throwing a party over on Facebook with games, goodies and great deals on jewelry that's personalized to you. 

Treat yourself just in time for Valentine's Day! ❤️💍💎💖
