Hey y’all! I’ve been a bit quiet the last week but I’m ready to jump back in. I was feeling a bit stuck honestly. Dealing with some personal issues, hitting a wall with workouts, being in a creative rut etc. So I took a step back, re-evaluated, and gave myself grace to work through my issues.

I think 2020 has made alot of people take off the rose colored glasses they normally look through. My hope is that we’re able to bring about lasting impactful change. Weekend reads after the jump!
