TGIF!

So happy to share this last look from the shoot with Raul. Do you guys have a favorite? 

I've seen a few comments that I almost seem like a different person these days with my new hair. I actually agree, but I'm not sure it's just the hair. I think it might be the way I'm living life these days. This year has been all about living in the moment. Appreciating more of what I have, being thankful and doing my best to learn!

This attitude has given me a new level of confidence and a renewed zest for life. Turn the bad into something beautiful!

 Or maybe it is just the hair. 

Either way, I think change is good. The same way the seasons change, I think it's important to grow and adjust to your surroundings and your current situation. Things aren't always going to go as planned. Nothing has gone according to my plan. But that's okay. I'm sure when I get to the end of my story, I'll look back and say - God was a much better writer. 

It's hard to appreciate what you have and stay positive during difficult seasons of life. But I truly believe hardships make you who you are. They shape your character and as much as I hate these moments, I know I'll be thankful. These struggles will make the successes that much more satisfying. If it was easy, everyone would do it. 

Enjoy your last work day or school day for the week! I work on Saturdays as well so cheers to those who also work everyday!
