Lately, it feels like I’ve been surrounded by so much heavy news, and it’s had me thinking...
I want to start a new tradition here.
I don’t know what it’ll look like yet. Maybe it’ll happen every week. Maybe once a month. Maybe just every so often when someone is on my heart. No pressure, no schedule...just a little corner of the internet dedicated to celebrating good people.
And today feels like the perfect day to start.
These photos capture so beautifully why this mama is my very first pick.
I don’t even know if she realizes it, but the very first time we spoke, I walked away feeling connected to every word she said. It genuinely felt like one of those moments of divine intervention...like God had placed someone in my path that I needed, even if I didn’t fully understand why yet.
You’d probably assume we’re lifelong friends, but the truth is...I’m still just getting to know her.
And yet, from a distance and through every interaction we’ve had, she continually inspires me to be a better mom and a better person.
I watch the way she nurtures her family. The way her faith anchors everything she does. The way she pours into her community with quiet consistency. She has a way of living that reminds me to slow down, love my people well, and lead with more intention.
I think we’re all way too quick to keep those thoughts to ourselves.
We notice kindness.
We admire character.
We’re inspired by people every single day...
..and then we never tell them.
So here’s my encouragement to everyone following along:
If you like someone’s shirt...tell them.
If your barista made you a kick ass coffee ...tell them.
If the mom next to you at the soccer field made you feel welcome...tell her.
If someone’s kindness, work ethic, or heart inspires you...tell them.
The world has enough criticism. Let’s get a little louder about the good.
And to this sweet mama...thank you for inspiring me in ways you probably don’t even realize. 🫶🏼
