In a world that is ready to attack and fight, be a voice of reason. Listen to understand an opposing idea. Learn from everyone. Find a way to communicate. Meet in the middle. Lead from love and light. YOU CAN BE A ⚡️FORCE ⚡️IN THIS CRAZY WORLD so what are you waiting for? ______________________________________ #loveandlight #beaforceforgood #beaforce #kindness #compassion #faith #bethechange #bethechangeyouwanttosee #bethechangeyouwanttoseeintheworld #leadbyexample #pray #perspective (at Westminster, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqVfEE5OjM1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

You’ve got to be proud of it all. You’re learning through every bit of it. You’re growing into a better version of yourself with every single misstep OR step in the right direction. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Celebrate the smallest of wins and give yourself grace when you experience the biggest upsets. Learn to be proud of how you handle both, okay? 🖤 (at Westminster, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqQqQ2lp_-E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We get a little too caught up in what other people *may* think of us. Here are a few things I want you to think about - People barely know who they are or what they think of themselves so why are we putting value in what they think of us? People barely care (or don't care at all) what you are doing. They ask to be polite or maybe just to be nosey, but five minutes after the conversation has ended they have already forgotten what you told them. Please stop putting so much thought in what others think or don't think of you. Worry about how you see yourself. Worry about feeling good in your own skin. Worry about being a better version of yourself. Worry about being kind. Worry about anything other than what someone else thinks of you.

And I do mean everything, so don’t stay stuck. Let it come and let it go. 🌊 (at Westminster, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpn17PiJSK5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Maybe this is why my soul feels so connected to the ocean…maybe it wants to be just like the ocean. (at Anna Marie Island, FL, USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpTJ9enJf7F/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have gone through stages with my younger self. For the longest time, even recently, I’d look back and feel ashamed of her. I wish she had handled things differently. I wish she’d had more of a backbone. I wish she could have seen her worth. I just wish she had different, but now I know that she did the best she could and she is the reason I am here now. So, thank you, younger me. I wouldn’t have made it without you. I wouldn’t have learned all that I’ve learned had you done anything differently. You carried me through our darkest times and now I’m going to show you it was all worth it. I’m going to do my best to make sure we are never ashamed of us again. _________________________________________ Side note: This is why we don’t let people steal our energy and disturb our peace anymore. The girls we used to be and the women we fought to become deserve better. _________________________________________ #tothegirlioncewas #myyoungerself #tothegirliusedtobe #rebel #rebelwithacause #selfcare #selflove #loveyourself #growth #growthmindset #healing #healingjourney #workinprogress #workingonme #workingonmyself #proudofmyself #choosehappy #forgiveness (at Westminster, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CovGBHuJG6m/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I saw this and knew immediately someone needed to see this so here it is. It’s not what happens to you. It’s how you handle it. It’s how you proceed after it happens. It’s how you choose to navigate it. It’s how you spin the story. It’s how you rise. Don’t let what has happened or what is happening to you hold you back. Own it, hold your head high, rise, and walk through the fire. 🖤 _________________________________________ #rebelwithacause #rise #yourstory #yourstorymatters #ownyourstory #riseup #headup #headuphigh #cantholdusdown (at Westminster, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoqHYZJJBWy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

BE ACCOUNTABLE Just over here piggybacking off of yesterday’s reel. We’ve got to be able to look inward and admit who we truly are and what issues we bring to the table if we want to find peace and balance. Channel you inner @taylorswift and get to working on yourself! Your future self will thank you (and probably everyone else you know). 💋 https://www.instagram.com/p/CoPu8LKuvi_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I cannot wait to dive into this one! I feel like this deserves a spot on my feed because @staceybrown_555 did the damn thing! She has been fully invested in her healing journey for years and is now devoting much of her time and energy to helping others. She just released her very first book and I cannot wait to dive into it! Here’s to you, Stacey, and all the heart and soul you have poured into your first book. I hope it’s a wild success and leads to all the amazing things you want to accomplish and all the things you are meant to accomplish! I’m gonna need you to sign my copy, Love. 💜 (at Westminster, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoNW-nXpM2p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Healing isn’t easy. It requires time, patience, and a whole lot of work. You are worth it, so let it ask more of you and keep showing up. (at Healing Journey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoH6FBWOMKa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
