Is it just me or was January a whirlwind? I feel like I’m just now settling into the New Year and putting some of these ideas to action. How’s everything going with you? Are you remembering to put one foot in front of the other and take it one day at a time? Are you being …
As I finished my corporate workday, this question continued to be asked of me “…But Lauren, who do you say you are?” I’d think on it for a second and then lose focus and continue on with my work. After the 4th time I figured I should probably take the question seriously. If God’s asking …
I’d say I’m past the days of shooting for perfection, yet I still find myself clinging and holding tightly to the idea of it. That “if I just do ____________ , it’ll be just right” type attitude. But that type of perspective throws off aim and focus. Forgetting what I’m doing “it” for in the …
I’ve never had to work so hard in my life. I don’t mean that in a dramatic way, I just don’t think I’ve ever had to work so much. Up to this point, it feels like a lot of things either came naturally or just weren’t that hard. Sure, there have been some difficult moments, …
I was depressed. So part of relinquishing is sharing – sharing the good, bad and sad. And today, I cried and I needed it. I needed to remember where I came from and reflect on where I am today. *I wrote this post 2 months ago and am just now finding the courage to share* …

Stopping in to drop some mid-week encouragement on y’all because sometimes it’s hard in these streets!! For instance – we don’t always get to our destination on the first try or in the exact order of the plan, but that’s ok! Remember to stay encouraged along the journey – you’ll get there eventually, even if …
I think one of the things I’ve enjoyed most about moving and meeting new people is hosting. If you know me, you know I love to feed people (I get it from my momma), and I’ve found that I enjoy connecting people as well. There’s something about being a host and helping create an atmosphere …
Hey y’all! It’s real…I really live in a new place now. New job. New place. New challenges. New friends. New license. New bills. lol Etc. I know I’ve been a little distant lately…I’m just trying to get settled and when I tell you I am learning so much about myself – you wouldn’t believe it. From …
For some reason it hit me really hard this morning that I’m in a state of waiting. To be honest, it really pissed me off. Like waiting for what?!? The only thing that I should seriously be waiting for is the day The Lord comes back, and I’m pretty sure scripture doesn’t instruct us to …
