"I'm good at what I love, but I don't always love what I am good at!"

Matthew McConaughey

This quote is simple yet so profound! As I recently listened to the book "Greenlights" by Matthew McConaughey this quote he shared has stayed with me!

We all have skills and multiple things we are good at but just because we are good at "this or that" doesn't mean it is what is meant for us!

I pray this episode will speak to you and allow you the ability to do a little soul searching, if you need to as you define what you truly LOVE!

Every step you take in progress and it matters!

Goodness Gracious, when you quiet the noise in your life, it's amazing how much perspective you gain!

In this episode I am starting to share what the past month has given me as I decided to take a break from social media! It's been humbling, eye-opening, convicting, and a true gift!

I pray this episode resonates with you in some small way and encourages you to help gain perspective in your life.

Do you struggle with being who others think you should be? Or maybe it is even with who, YOU, think you "should" be! God has recently shown me how much I was allowing "should" to take the place of who I "AM" and I want to share this with you, My hope is that my story will be relatable and help encourage you to do the work to figure out if you are playing the "should" game too!

Every step you take is progress and it matters!

Are you FULLY present in your life right now? God has you in this exact place for a reason and season. It is easy to want to change the place we are in which can lead us to missing living in the NOW! I pray this podcast encourages you to stop, drop and pray so you can seek the gifts of being fully present where you are right now!

Every Step you take is progress and it matters!

XO,
