One of the biggest things that holds people back is a fear of failure. While I didn’t have sports to help me overcome this, I did learn this skill during the 7 years of rejection that preceded my first book getting published. Looking back, I realize how I needed to toughen up, I needed to get over the fear of failure that is especially common when you are a perfectionist🙋🏻‍♀️ So to all of you who are taking chances and trying things you may not succeed at - keep doing what you’re doing. Failure isn’t the end of your story, it’s part of your story, and when you learn to see it that way, it won’t scare you the way it used to🤍 ... See MoreSee Less

Today marks 3 years since my mom passed away. I miss her and need days like this where I let myself really “go there” in having a good cry. (Listening to “Amazing Grace” always does the trick in opening the floodgates 😢). I spent a lot of time at first wishing to go back in time, even visiting my childhood home, but now when I think about her, I feel grateful that I had a mom who loved me so much. I still remember the way she looked at me, how she lit up when I came in the room, and it’s those little moments that hit deep in the heart. She inspires me to love my daughters better and to keep showing love even when it’s hard because in the end, it’s the consistency of a parent’s love that stands out. Even at my worst, she still loved me, and that’s just a small reflection of the enormous love that God has for each of us. My sister @danawolterinteriors shared a beautiful message today that she heard at church. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever read about heaven, and if you are grieving a loved one, I hope it comforts you❤️ “When we finally enter into the Beatific Vision, we will understand why our days unfolded as they did, and why we experienced the crosses we did and why we experienced the blessings we did.We will also see why we made the choices we did, what graces God gave us and what spiritual battles took place around us as we ate and slept and worked and played.In heaven, our lives will make sense to us.Our greatest experiences of love, connection and friendship here on earth offer us only the tiniest foretaste of the love, connection, and friendship we will experience in heaven, where every story will be shared and every story will be endlessly fascinating.In heaven, we are also going to see how the choices we made affected others, shaped others and blessed others in a way that is beyond coincidence, beyond happenstance or chance.” Scott Hahn ...
