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 …
“When we don’t understand something is a gift, we won’t give it the proper credit [appreciation/time/love] it deserves” – Luvvie Ajayi —- Sometimes, I silence my voice or deny myself an opportunity to experience and enjoy something because I fail to realize it’s a gift.

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 remember boldly declaring, “This Summer, I’m going to fall madly in love with myself.” That was summer 2015. I hate to say I’ve fallen out of love with myself, but I certainly haven’t done a great job of loving me; spending time with me; making time for me; having a relationship with me. It …

However today is different. Over the last couple months, I’ve been really been …
It seems Relinquish is still the word to live out this year (and I can’t say that surprises me). It’s now been 2 years since I started blogging and it’s been a journey for sure. I’ve shared, encouraged and let others in on a different level than I ever have, and it’s stretched me and opened me …
I’ve lived in Atlanta for several months now, however I’ve done very little exploring. This summer has truly been a busy one with travel and major events to attend. But now, I’m ready to explore my new home a little more. I woke up Saturday feeling slightly adventuresome so I text my favorite partner-in-crime and …
