*WanderLust*

Fear less. Do more. Allow your heart to guide your dreams. Live with hope and always remember your roots. Achieve your bliss. James 1: 22-24 I love that God blessed me with a constant curiosity to learn, discover, and explore. I love taking pictures. I’m able to capture memories, from which that moment’s beauty and laughter can be relived over and over again. I love to travel and experience. Young Life has played such a large part in forming my heart. I’ve been able to renew my spirit daily through the grace that God extends into my life. My family and I reflect each other in our flaws, beauty, and originality. One of my favorite ways to be present is to sit back and enjoy life’s simple moments with a coffee in hand.

“Being tender and open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continually shhh’ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Don’t let someone steal your tenderness. Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things. Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence,a footstep, feel it all – look around you. All of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love”

So you plant your own garden and
decorate your own soul, instead of waiting
for someone to bring you flowers.

—Jorge Luis Borges (via Swanfeather Songs)
