Light + Neutral

Feeling neutral and light from a night of glitter throwing with some of the best of friends doing the metaphorical theory I live by… when you throw glitter the light catches it so beautifully you almost forget the shade behind it. ✨

Anxious to go to New York next week to see a specialist for all of my autoimmune challenges that flared after a rough go at life the last month. 💪

I once wrote a blog about living with the wise words of Eleanor Roosevelt surrounding me as I slept in a room built for her during her stay in Louisville. 💛

While I’m growing through this, I’m taking her gumption with me; “You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.” 🙏

What I Would Tell Myself 10 Years Ago September 2018 | Passions

How many times do we ask ourselves, “Am I truly happy with the life that I’m living?” We often are distracted and pulled in a million different directions, so when we’re given the chance to stop and pause to ensure our intention is where we want it to be, it best be taken, says Lauren Hendricks, philanthropist and marketer by day, and a woman who is renovating her home.
