Beauty Isn't Just Skin Deep

✨ When your daughter says, “Mom, you need more sparkle,” you listen. Rhinestones, the amazing star ⭐️ earrings, hot pink belt—the whole 80’s vibe…and the pics. 💖💫 Grateful for my girl… helping me get ready to enjoy the night out! Love her to bits!

(Note the teal eyeliner, fellow 80’s friends! 😁)

Pensacola Beach! Here with for a town hall representing single parents and their kids!

Thankful for another year to live, learn, stretch, grow, and believe…another year to love well and to receive love too.

Letting go of control and certainty one day at a time, choosing to trust God and allow HIM to shape the outcomes.

Lord, your will be done as I seek you and live fully in who you made ME to be. Even in hard things, Your presence brings fullness of joy.

51 years. What a journey. Grateful and blessed.

Bare face on the way to see clients today. I sometimes challenge myself to go makeup free which can feel naked and exposed but today I felt honest and at peace…accessible. Pushing myself to let go of external “protections” seems like a healthy exercise in a world that relentlessly presses in with appearance related messages.

What a beautiful evening celebrating all things Solo Parent on National Single Parent Day. Such a lovely venue, thanks to George Shinn who opened up his property and car barn for the event. So grateful that Robert Beeson followed God’s lead to create this incredible ministry bringing hope and healing to single parents! Wish I had gotten more photos with our amazing team!

❄️🎿 Living fully and building joy! ⛷️❄️

First time skiing and it was a mini adventure. My daughter and her friend were fun and silly and such good sports. It was harder than we thought it was going to be but it was sooo fun! And we did it!!!

We laughed. We tried. We fell. We got back up. …and… REPEAT. Eventually we got it but we stayed on the beginner slopes. Friday afternoon while they were making snow was fun…and cold!!! ❄️ ⛷️ Saturday we closed it down with night skiing and that was a blast.

It was such a good weekend together. And I am thankful.

How are you building joy?!?

Yes!

Slow down, darling. It's going to be okay.

This is it. There is no dress rehearsal and there isn’t a rewind or fast forward button. Make room for all of it.. for grief and for grace. This is living. This is abundance. Show up and live every part of your life, fully.
