I’m starting this blog because I feel like I’ve come to that point in life where I’ve realized I’m the grown-up. I’m the adult. I’m the one who’s supposed to be reading the news, keeping up to date on things. I’m the one who is supposed to be lobbying policies to Congress and serving my […]

It’s Our Christian Duty to LOVE!
So…whew, what a couple of days! When I first got that text from my best friend Brooke telling me to check the news about Sullivan, I had no idea that it would turn into what it’s become.

Just saying, “Yeah, I have negative self-talk” and then coming up with some sort of generic affirmation that you promise yourself you’ll repeat every single day isn’t quite enough. Releasing the negative […]
Release Negative Patterns by Expressing Gratitude!

Releasing Negative Behavior Patterns
I’ve decided to do a little mini-series this week focusing on recognizing and releasing negative behavior patterns.

Sometimes we have to consciously take the time to remember that we have the power to create whatever we want in […]
