When things get hard, it’s what we do. Right? We run. When things hurt too much, we run. When we are afraid, we run. When we listen to the voices in our heads that tell us we aren’t enough, we run. When our hearts are broken, we run. When someone […]
Sometimes It Takes Others

What Do You Have the Courage to Ask For?
What do you have the courage to ask for? What do you have the courage to work for? What is your life’s passion? What must you do most days of your life, and if you don’t, you feel lost? What makes your heart leap out of your chest with excitement and promise? Have you asked […]
