There are just sometimes when you  have to do a little something for yourself. My day, week, and month fill up and if I don't manage the love I put in to take care of myself I run on empty fast! Ways I do that are: I explore and try a new coffee shop all by myself- no husband or child, read a book, get a facial, or buy myself something special. We Are Lively is a perfect #treatyoself kind of thing! I recently just received one of their barrettes and I love it. Honestly, I don't know when I wore a "normal bra" last. They even have a swimwear line that I have all the heart eyes for right now.

2017, was by no means perfect yet it was still good to me and good for me. I am hopeful for more growth in this coming year, and will try to have patience with myself for the process of it all. F. Scott Fitzgerald says it nicely: "For what it's worth...it's never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change to stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or worst of it. I hope you can make the best of it, I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a different life you're proud of, and if you're not,  I hope you have the courage to start all over again." 

Here are a few of my goals this year that will hopefully inspire you too:

+ I want to create more. More creative writing and stylized photoshoots.

+ I want to give more. More of my time, energy, and resources.

+ I want to take more risks- diving head first into dreams and goals that have been burning in my heart. 

+ I want love myself intentionally. That means digging to the unmanaged hurts that have been neglected for too long, and getting to the root of the problem. 

+ I want to capture moments just for me.

Cheers to 2018! I'm looking forward to seeing how you grow too. 

Happy weekends, friends! I put together this rad shoot with my husband and had the hardest time narrowing down photos, so I hope that you enjoy looking through all of these. I have a pretty jumbled random brain and figured I would share some casual thoughts with everyone. Here I go:
