I opened an Etsy shop!

I'm actually kind of nervous to announce this. I thought awhile about even posting about it, but honestly, this is a huge goal of mine, so why not share! I launched an Etsy shop Sunday, April 22. Woohoo! After about three solid weeks of working my 8-5 job on top of prepping for my launch, staying up past 11pm every single night, and thinking nonstop about this shop, I finally have products that I'm proud of that are live for everyone to see.

Getting my life together.

Getting my life together.

Sometimes I like to pretend I have it all together, but I do not! I recognize that I should be very grateful for the life and opportunities I currently have, but sometimes I can get sucked into a rut of not knowing where I'm going, what I'm doing, or who I want to be. I feel like I experience these feelings at least once a year really hard--and it's always during the winter.

My 2018 Goals

My 2018 Goals

Every year I do a goals page like this--but most years I wind up forgetting about it. This year, Trevor and I made goals together because we will be MARRIED by the end of 2018 (omg, that's so crazy to think about) and mostly because we just do everything together now. So, hopefully I make some of these goals really come true this time around since I'll have my boo by my side!

It's 2018!

It's 2018!

Sometimes it feels like there are so many things in this world that we can't control. Earthquakes, floods, fires, reality shows. But it's important to remember the things that we can--like forgiveness, second chances, fresh starts. Because the one thing that changes the world from a lonely place to a beautiful place is love. Love, in any of it's forms, love gives us hope.
