Know what I know about you? You are stronger than you know, wiser than you believe, more powerful than you give yourself credit for and a World Rocker of epidemic proportions. Take a breath into all that you are!!!! :)
Beautiful words!! Love this!
LOVED meeting you at Blog Sugar! You are just so sweet! I have an insta picture of my vintage gussy on my blog today :)
So glad you made it back to the midwest all safe and sound! Can’t wait to meet you on Sunday! I’m kind of nervous, because you’re kind of a big deal ;-) Eeepp!!
I’m so glad you got to go. Maybe one day I’ll take the plunge and meet some blog friends in person! Ruthanne’s pictures are amazing as always.
Love this post! I hope you had an amazing time at Blog Sugar – way to face your fear with ease and excitement :-) Enjoy your weekend lovely!
Isn’t the world we live in just so great? Yes, there are some horrors and extremely saddening things. But we also live in such an exciting time, too. When technology is so great and allows us to reach out and get to know others across the country and even across the world. To lift each other up, share in each others’ pitfalls, and just enjoy one another’s company…no matter where you’re located! Such a fun time to be alive! Glad you’re able to take part in all that the world has to offer. :)
Girl, thank you for being you. I read your fear of flying post and that’s me. In a nutshell…totally. I feel at times I’ve let it hold me back which is the very thing I’m so against. Thank you for your honesty and transparency.
Ah, missing friends… I understand the feeling. I miss my college friends dearly, but its so good when you get to see them and huge them. Huge blessings!
So neat that your uncle called to answer your questions! My husband has his pilots license and is working on getting a job as a pilot, so we talk lots and lots about planes. Its so good to have people to talk through your fears with!
I’m here from Tatertots & Jello! I’m a new follower. Love your shoes in that picture-HOW CUTE!
