Last night was a DREAM. And so many of you beautiful people came to support us. My heart is so full of gratitude to serve on the board for Brightstar Community, to see it grow the last year and a half, and to see us triple the size of our cocktail reception where we received $13,000 in sponsorships and ticket sales. God, thank you for making this happen and for letting me be a part of it. At the end of the day, it’s all to bring these women home in 2020....a safe, 2-year, rent-free home to share with other women survivors of s*x trafficking and drug addiction. And to have time to heal and mend at their own pace with a community of people that love and support that process. I can’t wait. 🌎

Happy love yourself day // no filter, just sunshine. This wasn’t a selfie I took today. I don’t feel well today, and feel gross BUT I take selfies like this on days where I feel happy and healthy and accepting of where I am in the process of making decisions, moving forward and surrendering my life over to Jesus. The last couple of years have been spiritually turbulent for me. Doubts of belief, opinions, where my codependency comes from, and layer after layer of peeling back STUFF I just didn’t know was there. I’m calling this period of my life “spiritual groaning.” I’ve never been more unsure of so many things about my faith than now. Most of my conversations internally are 97% questions / 3% answers (well, maybe 10% swearing lol and angry jabs at myself or God or people). I need this though, just like everybody does. People need to ask the hard questions and stick with them until there’s more clarity, revelation, or at least an understanding of what’s at the core of us asking and wondering about that question. We can ask for wisdom to be open to change, and peace with the things there are no clear answers to. Right now, I find myself digging at the layer that just feels angry all the time. And I know that even deeper than that, is a level of pain and mistrust I have in God that I want to get down to. Even deeper than that level, is this absolutely beautiful, shameless little girl who only cares to be completely loved and welcomed no matter what she does or doesn’t do. We get to a point in life where our old ways of finding purpose don’t cut it anymore. That means, there is a process God wants to take you through to become more spiritually mature... but the old ways aren’t going to cut it. There’s a deeper digging that needs to happen to get unstuck. I wrestle with the idea of needing anyone to help me (I feel like I’ve become so rebellious or resistant to receive help) but when I begin to dig deeper, and I’m alone with silence - I realize I want that companionship so much. And dare I say — NEED it. To all your unfiltered, sunshine selfies that are struggling with hard questions — keep digging when you can. The maturing process is happening.

I spent my Saturday here writing and collecting thoughts for a presentation/talk I’m putting together for Alfred State college students about s*xual assault, abusive relationships, and s*x trafficking in our area. This greenhouse cafe employees women in recovery: recovery from all sorts of things including what I’m researching and writing about. I have been given more opportunities to do things that scare me to death, and being on the board for Brightstar Community and giving this talk to a large group of college students are just a couple. I’m glad I chose this place today to do this work which is hard for me. I get stuck every 10 minutes, and doubt the direction I’m taking. I feel so incredibly inadequate, and terrified to not provide the kind of talk that moves people to heal or to take action or to inspire change. But that is not my job. My job is to be faithful with the things God is bringing me to, and to do the best that I can by stewarding my time and relationships. And then I remember a year ago, 3 years ago, and 9 years ago. 9 years ago, I first heard what human trafficking was and that it exists in “our own backyards.” 3 years ago, one of my sweet friend’s was r***d. One year ago, I was praying for God to give me favor to start working in this arena, and being a safe person for victims of trafficking. These are the things that make me angry. When someone uses another person. When someone strips away someone’s value as a human being and makes them a s*x object. This is what makes me angry. And usually when you have an anger towards injustice you see, it is worth looking at (as painful as it is) to do something in your corner of the world. So with that... I keep struggling through these concepts and facts and stories, so that I can help others discover the injustice that is around them and in their own lives. This work matters. The work that you do in your little corner of the world matters. The way you treat people, look at people, talk about people...matters.

Last night as we ended date night sitting on a bench, we made a new friend: Todd. He was riding his bike, and as we made eye contact and we waved to him as he passed by...he stopped his bike and asked if he could do a poem for us. He said that his therapist says this is his gift that is meant to be given away to others. He began talking about his PTSD from the war, the holes in his body from his opioid addiction, the hope he feels for his life, and as he talked...I couldn’t help but keep asking him questions about his life, and what he is doing now. Todd was homeless, but one of the most grateful people I have met. He exuded it. Todd was smart...he had a beautiful way of connecting with people, and knew how to build buildings and train others to do so. He took out a card in his wallet and said “someone blessed me with this Uber card, but I don’t use Uber so you can take it!” He asked us to look him up on Facebook and showed us figurines he carved using a pencil and a match out of soap and wax. After half an hour, I was blown away that this random encounter we were not looking for — just came. I remember back to my time in NYC for a summer where we would bring sandwiches to people who were homeless week after week and remember their faces still. I remember how one man named Joe told me “people treat me as if I don’t exist...they don’t make eye contact with me...hours will pass before one person on a busy street makes direct eye contact with me and just smiles.” That has always stuck with me. Because even if I am not giving money out, I can still make eye contact and smile. People are people, no matter who they are. I am grateful for Todd and what he gave Paul and I last night.

(Sorry the quality sucks! I used my phone to record and upload instead of using Facebook LIVE...lesson learned). Let’s talk about you and your workplace. I want to hear from you: what is one thing you have added to your workplace that wasn’t there before you came along? What is one way you can bring more YOU into your workplace?

This girl is KILLING it at life right now!!!! Kass made this sign to begin her vision board, rethinking her career and exploring new options, learning what strengths she has, talking to a girlfriend and making plans to move by next year to a new city, and just started a budget to track her spending and saving plan. She is kicking butt and I’m so happy to be able to coach her through all of these transitions she is taking ownership of. She is amazing, beautiful, smart, compassionate, and growing like crazy. Made to THRIVE!

First round of infographics I designed + edited are complete! I enjoy creating new projects...I thought the paperwork in the office was boring and could be condensed by a LOT due to repetition + have some eye appeal. I was able to sit down yesterday with JP, my old boss. We caught up on life and that I wish I could go back to my work in Admissions and contribute the strengths I’ve discovered and have practiced now...taking initiative more, being assertive, filling gaps I saw, etc. But this is how life works! I’m thankful I’m always uncovering new strengths or exercising my creativity to find more enjoyment in work. What is something you’re adding to your workplace/company and your team that wouldn’t be there if you weren’t? What are ways you can maximize on a strength you have this upcoming week and pass off or partner with someone to help you in an area that is an area of weakness or drain? My new work motto is leave a place better than when you started. Remind the people that hired you of WHY they hired you!

Good morning Thrive groupies! Today driving into work, I blasted some worship music and recounted all the ways I am grateful for the progress I have made in the last year. (Sure, I’m one of those “I’m never quite satisfied... I can always do more” kind of people. This is why I pause at least once a day and an extended time a couple times a week to count reasons I’m thankful and ways that I am doing the best I can in the areas of life I want to change).

My story a year and a half ago was very different. I was battling depression and was in a very hopeless spot. I was just so so exhausted...physically, emotionally, mentally.

Today, I am so hopeful. I have worked really hard to dig up painful things so I can surrender them and heal and move on. And I have practiced so many of the things I now work on with my life coaching clients.

If you need someone to remind you, let me be that person for you today:

You. Are. Capable.

You. Are. Enough.

You. Have. Strengths.

You. Are. Valued (for just BEING/existing and not doing).

You. Are. Seen!

So practice this for a moment with me today: 1) what are you thankful for today? 2) count ways you have made progress - where were you a year ago? What ways have you seen yourself grow? You. Are. Amazing! Believe it.

I kind of had a brilliant idea a couple of weeks ago. I haven’t been consistent with journaling but wanted a quick snapshot of my day. So I bought a planner. And inside these little boxes, I can fit about 50-70 words into it. I want to capture a daily inventory and use as little words as possible. I want to remember the thing from that day that stood out above the rest and the simple thing like breakfast with my husband that made me feel the most loved within that day’s activity log. Because I’m a girl who loves going back, to remember, and see progress or know that the simple things that aren’t our noteworthy moments are the most important. I’m learning that one day at a time or on my bad days - one moment at a time - is all God requires of me. He knows me too well ;) Steal my idea if you want, and I’ll let you know how well I stay on top of this 3 min night ritual. (Also, I know you’re going to try and read what I wrote to see if there’s any juicy secrets...sorry to disappoint...not yet). Goodnight xo

I just finished a life coaching session and this is what my little nook looks like... (yes, complete with dying flowers that I just haven’t had the heart to toss just yet 😂). I love preparing exercises that make sense for each client... read books and get insight into what will help them get unstuck. Right now, I’m working with someone who wants to make a career shift, but there is a LOT of processing and digging to understand where that desire formed and grew. It’s important to go there, and love helping to strip some layers so that clients can get to their core desires that lay beneath a circumstantial decision or goal. If you find yourself at a crossroads and not really sure what to start doing and stop doing to move forward - LET ME HELP!! Message me and I’ll send you a free exercise that’s guarenteed to help you understand yourself better. Happy Friday, love bugs!
