In a world where you can be anything, what will you choose? 

Renew is my word for 2025 because 2024 was just a hard year for me. I learned so much about myself and how strong I really am as a mom and a wife and a daughter and a friend and all of the things because God put me through it. Mentally, it was the hardest year of my life. Renew is for me to get back on track in my mind, body, and taking care of myself physically.

 

 

 

What is something that you wish others knew about you that they might not see on the surface?

That I love so big. I am shy. Really, to an extent, I am. I’m very outgoing. I was a cheerleader. I did all that. But deep down, I’ve always had a shy insecurity. So it just really depends on my setting. But I truly love everybody. I want people to get along. I don’t like conflict.

I love to love secretly. Like, I don’t like public recognition. That’s just something that’s always been important to me. I help lots of people, but I don’t want any kind of recognition for it. Because I just do it because I love them.

 

What is one fear or limiting belief that you want to let go of and why?

That I’m going to lose somebody else really close to me. Because that’s where I’m at right now. I worry about Matt and his job. And I worry about Jake and his job.And I worry about Wes because he’s my baby. And I worry about Graham because we don’t know how long we have with him.

So I hope it’s a whole long time, but we don’t know that. Because that one would be a devastating one.Not, you know, not only for me, but I don’t know how to navigate that for my kids.

 

If you were to go back in time at any age?

 

That I’m proud of her for not giving up on my marriage.And that it does get better. And that it’s okay to have a very small circle.

And that you’re going to be okay because you have a small circle. You don’t have to have a huge circle. You’re going to be okay and that I’m really proud of you.

 

 

 

The BE Project with Beautiful Evolutions Photography

The BE Project was created in 2016.  Two crazy girls had an idea and it came to life on a napkin at lunch one day. They partnered with a local jeweler, Woolards Custom Jewelry and a beautiful necklace was created.  What began as a marketing campaign turned in to an annual photo project that has allowed people to share a word that is important to them and why that word guides them.  Each year, in January, the project opens back up for registrations.  One week is dedicated to photographing the incredible people that want to join us.  All images are black and white to keep from any distractions.  Just the human and their word.

Head over to THE BE Project page read some of the incredible stories that have been shared with us.
