#LiveBoldly Day 21: What I Learned in Church

I don't know about y'all, but I literally cannot get over 2 Timothy 1: 7 these days. I know it's a simple verse with a pretty straight-forward message, but applying it to my heart has just not been the easiest task. You would think I could read it, have my little revelation, and then move on - but no. Not happening.   So while one of the pastors was speaking in church yesterday I looked more deeply into the words and their meanings of 2 Timothy 1:7. The message being preached was good ... continue reading...

Roasted Ratatouille Ranch Hoagies

When it comes to being from Texas there are a few things that I believe you have to live by. You have to love the state, embrace the state pride, enjoy a good bowl of chili and you pretty much have to love Ranch dressing. ON EVERYTHING. Think I'm joking? We eat it with everything - on sandwiches, with pizza, sometimes with chips and salsa (although I like the salsa as-is), in burritos, on salads. I have yet to come across Ranch in a dessert, although I wouldn't be surprised if there was ... continue reading...

#LiveBoldly Day 19: Admit It

I'm just going to come right out and say it: this 31 day dare is kicking my tail right now. It's kicking it in good ways because it has challenged and shown me that I do still, in fact, love writing and want to get better at it. I want to allow life to inspire the way that I look at the world and allow my God-given creativity to grow. I don't want to be scared and allow fear to make my decisions for me.   But I'm also tired. This dare has been draining emotionally, professionally and ... continue reading...

#LiveBoldly Day 18: Don’t Be Afraid to Ask + Zucchini Blueberry Bread

Below is a post that I wrote as a guest contributor for one of my all-time favorite blogs, Naptime Diaries. Because I feel like I should tell y'all what makes this a #liveboldly moment, you should know that when I emailed Jessi a few weeks ago about contributing to her site I was a sweaty nervous wreck. When you look up to someone and enjoy the words they put out as much as I do with Jessi then I'm sure it's only natural. She is such a sweet gal and answered with such grace! I believe that God ... continue reading...

#LiveBoldly Day 17: Run a 5K

  Oh, the running drama. Honestly I've lost track of how many times I've told you guys that I'm picking up running again only to turn around and say that I will never run for the rest of my life. I have no excuses for this, but I do have some good news: through a LOT of rest, proper strength training and losing some weight I've been able to start running again. Not a lot, mostly shorter distances for interval training, but I'm running nonetheless. I'll take it!   Honestly I ... continue reading...

#LiveBoldly Day 16: A Catalyst + Bacon Ranch Chicken Chili

I hope you guys have time to listen to my rambling little vlog up there, but in case you can't here are the basics: A little over a year ago I was approached by a MASSIVE company to do some work with them on a year-long project that would have paid at least double what I was making at my last job in addition to some major exposure on their social media outlets. I had to "audition" for the part but was made to believe that I was a shoo-in and was the top prospect for this position. I ... continue reading...

#LiveBoldly Day 15: Make a Schedule + Stick to It

For someone as in love with planning as I am I find it kind of surprising that I put this on my list of things to do for my #liveboldly challenge. I have waxed poetic about my lovely Erin Condren planner and I always have a running list of things to do going at all times. I am that girl who even writes things on my list that I've already done just so I can cross them off, and I'm not even embarrassed to say that since I think we've all done that at some point or another.   When I ... continue reading...

#LiveBoldly Day 14: A Break from Social Media

First off I want to say a resounding THANK YOU to you guys for your incredible support of my announcement from Friday. Your emails, comments and overall excitement are such gifts to me, and it was just the boost I needed to get past the fear and start really working on this book. I love you guys!   When I look at today's post I must admit it doesn't seem exceptionally bold. Most people out there probably really do take breaks from social media on a regular basis and are probably ... continue reading...
