I've been doing something crazy...I’m reading a lot lately...for pleasure! 😱
⠀⠀
For all of 2018 and tbh most of 2017, I only read for information.
⠀⠀
Business and personal development and self help sections were my go to. And I hands down learned a lot, so mission accomplished there!
⠀⠀
But what I lost out on was my passion for reading. I forgot what it felt like to lose yourself in a good story. To read for relaxation and adventure and drama and intrigue rather than to try to "level up".
⠀⠀
So a few weeks ago I sold almost all of my business books at a secondhand bookstore. And I replaced them with some new stories about life and love and crime and all those things that I used to love to read.
⠀⠀
I let myself drop the perception that I needed to increase my intelligence and skill in order to find success.
⠀⠀
And I embraced the idea that I'm already successful and I might as well read a book I enjoy over a cup of tea to celebrate.
⠀⠀
Now because of this newfound commitment to just reading whatever the eff I want, I have made it through 3 books in two weeks...I read 3 books in 2018 total...so needless to say I'm running out of options, and fast.
⠀⠀
So what're your favorite books to get lost in? I'm hearing another trip to Half Price Books calling my name ;)
⠀⠀
P.S. I'm kinda thinking of starting a book club as part of the Got You Girl Collective...thoughts?

If this caption had a theme song, it would be Ariana Grande's "thank u, next"
⠀⠀
For real. If I hadn't gone through hard shit, I wouldn't be shit.
⠀⠀
I probably wouldn’t be so obsessed with how we can create safe spaces.
⠀⠀
I wouldn’t be so passionate about making sure that all of our voices, from the loud and proud roars to the gentle, hesitant meows, are heard.
⠀⠀
I wouldn’t be so into the idea of hosting events and workshops and coffee chats for women who have dreams that are so big that sometimes their minds can’t even handle it all. The women who have so much magic inside of them and that are determined to see the magic in others too.
⠀⠀
I probably wouldn't have had the idea to start my own community. I wouldn’t have the courage it takes to put myself out there and be vulnerable and talk about hard things, even when I don’t fully understand them.
⠀⠀
I wouldn’t be me.
⠀⠀
And friend, if you hadn’t weathered your storms, you wouldn’t be you either.
⠀⠀
So world. Thank you for the hard things, what's next? 📷: @hannahblackphoto .

Anyone else sooo over traditional goals?
⠀⠀
I figured, because I've noticed something different in everyone's resolutions this year.
⠀⠀
We're moving past business growth and follower counts.
⠀⠀
And we're adding in personal growth and counting how many times a day we take a break or a breath or a moment to show some gratitude.
⠀⠀
I think 2018 tested a lot of us (you can’t see, but both my hands are raised. And a foot for good measure) 🙋🏾‍♀️
⠀⠀
And it made us realize that 5 or 50 years from now we really won't care about all the things we obsses so much over (like the perfect font or color or saying everything exactly the right way..because who is determing what's right anyway? Because I'd like to have a word or two with them about some of their bs).
⠀⠀
So in 2019 let's try something different.
⠀⠀
Let's not worry so much about the how, or what; the when or the where. Let's obsess over the who.
⠀⠀
The who we are becoming, the who we are together, the who we can look at 50 years from now and obsess over.
⠀⠀
So who is your 2019 self? Mine’s bold, whether that be fearlessly or fearfully. She loves and believes in herself. And she goes to bed by 10:30 on weekdays.

Peace out 2018, you’ve been a doozy. And while you taught me a lot (way more than I asked for, wtf was all that btw?!) I’m ready for 2019.
⠀⠀
Not because it’s a fresh start.
Not because I’m craving being confused every time I write the date for the next 3 months.
Not because I’m going to become a “new me” overnight.
⠀⠀
But because I have hope that things are on the up and up. I’ve got faith that some magical shit is about to go down.
⠀⠀
And 2019, I’m ready to roar!
⠀⠀
(Which btw the is my word of the year. It was connect, then it was unstoppable. But then I saw someone’s who was “roar” and I liked it so much that I let my perfectionist tendencies go and changed it last minute. See? 2019 is already teaching me so much! 😉)
⠀⠀
What’re you hoping for in the new year? What’re you dreaming up?

Psst. Has anyone told you lately that it’s ok to change your mind?
⠀⠀
That’s it ok to decide you want to do something differently? Or hell, do something else entirely?
That it’s ok to change your hair or your style or your business model or your routines?
⠀⠀
In 2019 I’ve decided to open the door to more possibilities. To throw out my old playbooks and rewrite them. Where I was going for field goals, now I’m leaping for two point conversions (mmhmm I know some football ish!)
⠀⠀
And girlfriend, I’d love it if you joined my metaphorical football team! What playbooks are you rewriting in the new year?
