Growth that begins in our roots
An Open Letter to my Past Self My beautiful Ashley – You did the best you could, and I need you to know how proud of you I am. I know how hard that is to believe, to feel, because I know how much shame you hold. I know how hard it is for...
It’s been 4 months since we moved to Tucson, Arizona, and what a wild 4 months it has been. I knew it would be a big adjustment moving to the other side of the country from where we were born and raised, but it hasn’t just been an adjustment. It’s been a roller coaster,...
