Day 2 of New York City…

Was filled with subway rides, eating underground, China town, and gorgeous views.

Our fave tour guide asked me if I wanted to see the “real” New York or do the touristy stuff. Honestly, I wanted to do the touristy stuff! 🏙️

So and I got on the 1 train (I think?) and headed to China town… but I hadn’t eaten & we didn’t wanna risk low blood sugar hanger, so we stopped and got a “Korean corn dog”… I had heard of these. So I got half cheese, half corn dog.

I was a fan of the cheese half, but 0/10 did not like the “dog” part… so Christopher ate the hotdog, I had a coke and we hopped back on a different subway.

China town was chaos! I saw a young school group that was about the age we were when Greer & I went to NYC in 2004.

And again I was AMAZED that our 8th grade teachers took 100+ kids to NYC!! I think they took us all to China town also??

I stared at the group, amazed, then headed down the road to get an adorable knock off handbag and duffle (and don’t worry, Christopher got something too).

🥵 Then I remembered I wasn’t in 8th grade, the chaos of people was too much, and my mid-30s hormones had me sweating… so I promptly told Greer we were coming home to see the “real” New York!

I’m so glad we did. She picked us up from the public transportation and drove us to a GORGEOUS park that overlooked the city and the infamous bridge!

🚙 P.s. Christopher & I both drove in NYC- across the Brooklyn bridge, in Brooklyn and Manhattan and it really wasn’t bad. So many southern folks told me it was. Have those people even been to NYC? 🤔

Anyway, we ended this perfect day at a little bistro. The bistro had a tv in the corner and lo and behold, it was playing… the TENNESSEE Vols football game (in NY)… it felt perfect. We are all 3 Vol fans and it felt like fate bc that’s where Greer and I grew up together.

Greer & Christopher enjoyed fancy orange wine and we cheered our Vols on to victory! What a day! 🍊

The REAL New York: a 3 part series.

We visited New York a few weeks ago and I’m just now able to put into words what it meant to me. We stayed with a friend I’ve known since primary school and her darling husband who we adore.

The weekend was amazing. We started off trash picking with I’ve admired his work from afar for awhile and I was so honored he took us with him on one of his routes to show us his craft. Highly recommend following him, he finds amazing items. A few of his finds are vintage jewelry, real gold jewelry, gorgeous vintage clothes and shoes, a diamond engagement ring and the list goes on. He’s at the top of his craft! It’s incredible. Did you know all of that gets thrown away, on purpose???

Our walk this time was a couple of hours, but we look forward to returning to NYC to do a full walk with him.

Then we went to our friends apartment to the north of the city and our hearts were filled up just with a few hours of conversation. It’s amazing how our souls can be revived when we find our people!

Stay tuned for parts 2 & 3. Spoiler alert: gorgeous photos and BTS on Broadway.

I wish this was taught to young people. That sometimes the connection, the infatuation we feel to another is simply us trying to heal ourselves. Unhealed trauma can cause us to do many things.

Here’s a revised version with improved grammar:

In adulthood, if you go to therapy and begin to heal, you may start to realize that many relationships in your life are unhealthy. You might need to leave certain relationships, but not all. Don’t be afraid to seek therapy; it will help you release toxic relationships and find healing, freedom, and acceptance within yourself.

And those intrusive thoughts, maybe you’re not actually in love with an ex or your first boyfriend, it was simply a way for you to cope with your circumstances.

TGIF!!! What a magical word! Remembering being so excited it was finally Friday and ‘your shows’ were coming on as a preteen/teenager.

Enjoy the nostalgia and let’s have some fun!

💊Use the word “chill pill” in conversation today! 💊
And then come back to this post and tell us all how you used the word! Did anyone notice? Did they chuckle at the “vintage slang”? Did they smile at the memory of a term they forgot about???

You have to come back to this post and tell us all about it in the comments, PLEASSEEEE!!!! The world is really hard right now, for so many, and I want this account to be a place you can laugh and smile and remember the “good ole days”.

So let’s talk soon. I’m going to try to either tell someone to “take a chill pill” or out loud tell myself to take a chill pill, I think?”🤔

I’ll report back later today in the comments!

Adult friendships can be tough!

I often receive messages about making friends as adults, and my clients, both women and couples, frequently talk about the challenges of forming friendships in adulthood. So, if you’re struggling with friendships, you’re not alone.

Many of us were taught to believe that once you make a friend, it’s for life. Sometimes that’s true, but not always.

Friendships can come and go. Other times, you might see a friend once a year and pick up right where you left off. Everyone is different. We all carry our own scars, traumas, and preferences, and sometimes these clash, causing friendships to fall apart. Other times, a friend can be like a healing salve for a painful wound.

This is just the beginning of my series on friendship. Follow for more insights on friendship, relationships, and how to heal from these wounds!

Today was Christopher’s FINAL FLIGHT in the Navy. Our time in Jacksonville is coming to an end faster than I expected. Florida has been a place I’ve struggled to feel at home, but now the thought of leaving after 5 years here brings me to tears. Change is so hard, even good change.

I am so so proud of he flew over an Admiral’s funeral in Washington D.C. for his final flight. And it was a formation flight nonetheless, he is an incredible man, impressive leader in his field & his students love him! I’m so proud of all he’s accomplished and I’m even more humbled that he’s choosing this final step in the navy for me. So I can live out my dreams. Forever proud of what he’s accomplished as a navy pilot & thankful for the memories and friends we’ve made along the way!

🌈 Thankful for this beautiful sunset & DOUBLE rainbow as we took some photos on the flight line. I felt like God was sending me some really meaningful signs.

Christians, let’s ask ourselves, “Would Jesus get his cloak in a bunch over this?” If the answer is no, it’s ok to let it go.

It’s ok to let things go that you once clung to. It’s ok to let things go when you realize you were wrong. It’s ok to let things go when we realize we idolized or coveted a painting more than we did our neighbor. Let it go, it will be ok.

We attended the and felt honored to learn about Polynesian culture and people. They went beyond Hawaii and taught us about Togo, Fiji, Tahitian, and several other cultures.

Thank you for sharing and teaching us, Hawaii & your people!

This was the best luau I’ve ever attended. I highly recommend it if you’re ever on Oahu 🏝️

It’s been SEVEN years without you on this earth.

Grief time is like molasses & warp-speed all wrapped in one. You are missed. You are loved. You are remembered. But I feel like that’s a no brainer & doesn’t need to be said, but I’ll say it anyway.

The first picture is one of my favorites! It was after Tucker’s life-saving surgery. We were told prior to the surgery that Tucker only had about 6 weeks left if we didn’t do the surgery and we couldn’t imagine life without our puppy son! And now Tucker has outlived Ryan, it is just so messed up and we still talk about it and grieve.

The next photo reminds me how just a few years can totally change our family. We’ve added so many to the crew since then!

The next photos are from our honeymoon, with the honorary nephew we still love, he is TEN now. I talk about you with them, but they don’t remember and it’s gutting.

The next pic is 2 college sweethearts with their brand new puppy!

And finally, the final 2 pictures are from our days acting in the movies. Those fun memories were way too short, but you are forever memorialized on the big screen!

What a life you lived! Always in a hurry, always ready to get to the NEXT thing. You crammed so so much into your little life and you lived it LARGE & LOUD!

Celebrate in heaven today & hold all the ones we love! ❤️

…making me cry since 2009!! Still going strong today!😂😭❤️💔

“Remember that first impressions are not always correct. You must always have faith in people. And most importantly, you must always have faith in yourself.” Elle Woods says it best here.

Day 8: When I was getting ready in this outfit, there was a moment, a rather long moment, where people’s snide sarcastic remarks rang in my head.

If I’m honest, over the last few months those negative voices have been the loudest in my life. I let the voices of people who truly don’t deserve my time to ring loud in my mind! I allowed their words along with my own doubt and hardship to dull my sparkle. 💖

But on this trip, I’ve found more of myself. Often people say they “lost themselves”. I don’t think I ever “lost” myself because little Elle/Megan was always there, living inside of me. But she was buried. She was quieted.

I’ve felt so free in Hawaii to dress how I WANT TO DRESS! There are so many reasons that me, a grown 35 year old, feel they can’t fully be themselves. Purity culture, unrealistic expectations on women, negative thoughts about girly-girls, etc.

But let me say it LOUD and clear, this is me! I love this look and it makes me feel like an Empowered Elle Woods Barbie! And I can’t think of a better combination!
