Three Ways I'm Living Out Loud

Thanks to Raylene Brown Photography for these great pics!

I've been visualizing the life I choose to create. It's an amazing feeling to envision what you want your life to feel like, and then to pursue it -- and to see it work!

Well...it's working, guys!

As I was trying to pin down what I wanted my life to be, my friend Ashley (who is an inspiration to me) posted this awesome video of her and her husband pouring out their hearts in song. I showed my friend Molly and she put what my heart was yearning for into words. LIVING OUT LOUD. I spend a lot of time in my head, processing and rethinking information. I realized that I just need to jump in and DO!!!

I want to point out that all these things have made me a BETTER mom, because I am truly "filling my cookie jar," meaning I'm doing something I love. This makes me WANT to get down on the floor and play with the girls and be creative. I'm so much more confident and I feel valued. Talking with a friend today, we said "Isn't life just SO good?" It keeps surprising me how great it can possibly get. I think it can't get any better, and then it somehow it does!
