The BE Project – In a world where you can be anything…. What will you be?
Meet Bud. This fella – after sitting and talking with him – I quickly realized that I could have spent all day talking to him. He is one of those people that you just want to learn more about and share life with.
What word did you choose and why?
Forgiveness
It kinda came out of nowhere. This entire year has been about getting back to me. I needed to quit holding on to stuff. Forgiveness needed to be about forgiving myself of who i used to be. Part of forgiving myself, was seeing some changes in my father.
How did you decide that Forgiveness was where your focus needed to be?
Getting back into church.Being a part of the church and the family that it is, has made a huge difference. I love the old me, because he’s not afraid of anything – but i hate the way it makes me feel. I had to take control of myself. My body. My health. To take care of the others in my life, i needed to get myself to a healthy point.

The BE Project – In a world where you can be anything…. What will you be?
Meet Madison This kind hearted girl is going to make such a difference. It has been an absolute honor to get to know her over the last couple of years. She is soft spoken but a heart that is loudly fierce. She embodies the word love and it’s so incredible to watch her grow into the woman she will be.
What word did you choose and why?
Love
We have enough hate in the world and we have enough people that don’t love each other. I feel like everyone should love everyone and there is no flaw that someone has that should you make you feel as though you can’t love them.
What is something you want to accomplish this year?
I would love to start drivers ed. I want to start my first job. I want to keep up my straight A streak.
When i get out of school – i really want to pursue the culinary path. Outside of my career – I want to continue to work with little kids of my church.

The BE Project – In a world where you can be anything…. What will you be?
Meet Cadence – this beautiful girl stole my heart. When I first sit down with someone, my goal is to always get to know them. Yes, it’s a quick visit – but my hope is that they will share a little piece of their heart with me. Cadence was very honest and shared the following with me. “I have a medical condition, narcolepsy w/ catalepsy. Any emotions trigger an episode. I’ve learned how to stop feeling emotions.”
What word did you choose and why?
Feel
As I have gotten older, and with medication, it has gotten better. I want to see if I can let down some walls to start feeling emotions again. I want to have a relationship. I want to experience life. I don’t have a LOT of friendships because I keep distant from others. I don’t want to tell people that I have this condition because I don’t want to be seen as someone with a disability.
Thoughts from her Step – Mom, Amanda
Amanda (her step mom) chose a word for her. A word that she wants Cadence to embrace. Grace. “I want the biblical definition of Grace for her- to be covered by Gods love. I want her to have grace for other people so she can build stronger relationships with others. I want her to experience life and all that it holds for her.”

Fuerte Girls… Plus One

These two girls have such a special place in my heart and I am so excited to get to meet their little nugget. Baby F will be here in early September. Desiree is absolutely stunning and this mama to be is a rockstar!

Meet Alex. I am proud to call him a friend – but in a professional environment – I don’t know that I have ever met anyone that has been a bigger champion of their community and local businesses. It’s truly incredible to watch him better the community around him.
What word did you choose and why?
Trailblazer!
I don’t want to wait around for someone else to do something new to improve our way of life in our community. I feel more confident in taking those changes. The community has instilled confidence in me, knowing that I am going to do what I can to take care of the community. I want to be more intentional with the things that I do.
What is something you want to accomplish this year?
Keep building our community to the place that is the envy of others. Create a place that welcomes people from the outside from all walks of life. I want that to be an attribute of the community and not just something that only a few say.
