The other morning I was getting ready, hair everywhere, coffee in hand, and I just said to my boyfriend, “I love flowers. They’re just so beautiful.” Totally random. That night, I got home from work and there they were. A vase of white roses with a handwritten note about how much he loves me. It made me realize sometimes people just need to hear what makes you happy. Say it out loud. You never know who’s listening. 🥰 What’s something small that makes you feel loved lately?

Hey everyone 💛 Just wanted to check in and share a little life update. Things have been really busy lately, and today it all started to feel very real. I just finished my last full time day at my current job because I am getting ready to move back home. Next week I will be selling most of my furniture and things on Facebook Marketplace, talking to someone about taking over my lease, and sorting through all the little details that come with moving. It feels like a lot to juggle, but the more I sit with it, the more confident and at peace I feel with my decision. Even though I am excited to go back to the people who love me the most, it is still scary and a little sad. I have built a life here. I will miss my apartment, my independence, and the friends I have made. But deep down I know this next chapter is the right one, and I am ready for whatever God has planned. Anyway, enough about me. How is everyone else doing? What have you all been up to? I would love to hear what is going on in your world and check in with each of you 🤍

When I was 18, I packed up my car and moved to West Palm Beach, Florida for college. I did not really know what to expect, but I was so ready to start fresh and figure out who I was meant to be. Fast forward to this May, I graduated college. What I thought would feel like a new beginning honestly ended up feeling a little bit like heartbreak. My stepdad and mom are going through a really hard divorce, and I have been trying to process it while living miles away from all my family in South Carolina. I have been working full time, but lately I have felt drained, lonely, and disconnected. Not just from the people I love, but from myself and from God. It feels like I know He is there, but I have not been showing up the way I want to. After a lot of praying and reflecting, I realized I needed a change. So this week, I did something big. I quit my job and decided to move back home to South Carolina. It is scary, but I know deep down it is the right step. I will still be working about 10 hours a week remotely, but mostly, I am giving myself space to breathe, reset, and rebuild. And part of that for me is pouring more into this group. This space has always meant a lot to me, and I want it to be a place where women, especially those navigating their own in between seasons, can come to feel understood and less alone. If you have ever been in that place where life feels uncertain or heavy, know that you are not the only one. I see you, I have been you, and I want this group to be a space that reminds us all we do not have to go through it by ourselves. If you know someone who could use that kind of support right now, invite them in. Let’s grow this community together and create a space that feels honest, faith filled, and full of women who lift each other up. I really believe we are better when we walk through it together. 💛

For me, mornings are everything. There’s something about the quiet before the world wakes up that feels so peaceful. It’s like time moves slower. I love having that little window just for myself to think, get ready, and feel grounded before the daily rush begins. Getting up is the hard part, but once I’m out on my balcony, it’s always worth it. It kind of feels like a treehouse surrounded by plants. I’ll attach a photo so you can see. The first couple of hours after the sun rises are my favorite, when the light is still soft and warm. Sitting out there with my water, juice, coffee, or tea, whatever I’m in the mood for, feels like the calm before the storm in the best way.

okay guys little story time. film cameras have been making a comeback and I’ve wanted one for so long but I couldn’t bring myself to spend 400 dollars on something I wasn’t even sure I’d know how to use. so I did a little Facebook Marketplace digging and found one for 30 dollars. I got my first roll back today and I’m SO obsessed. the photos feel so warm and real like they actually capture the moment instead of trying to make it perfect. it feels so cozy and special and I can’t wait to start putting them in a little album one day for my kids to look through.💛
