But that’s okay. I don’t want to be the same. I want to be changed. By having loved Esther. And by continuing to… Read More

Three days left of So Loved. It has been a busy, crazy, beautiful time. I have written approximately 231 thank you cards. Mailed out 298 shirts. And I have honestly loved every bit it… makes me feel connected to y’all in a way I haven’t experienced before.

I thought I’d share what you could win in the Share the Love giveaway. This beauty happens to be mine. All mine. I’ve had it for almost 3 years – received it as a gift for my 40th birthday – and I’ve worn it most days since. Over the years, I’ve had quite a few folks stop me and ask… Read More

Envelope stuffing doesn’t sound great? Well, in this case it is. I’ve been packing up your So Loved tees. And I am loving every minute of it. Each tee represents… Read More
