Milestones




These are two pics of the Co-Cathedral of St. Thomas More in Tallahassee. I feel at home and peacef just looking at these.


This is the tattoo that I got on my 21st Birthday with my best friend, Jill. I had the green star added a couple of weeks ago at Solid Ink in Tallahassee in honor of my four years there. Location: right shoulder blade.

My take on the green star is this: sometimes life changes you HUGELY through experience. God sends people in and out of our lives who will permanently alter us. Some for the better, some not. Some experiences will hurt. Sometimes you will battle your way back to the surface. My time in Tallahassee was a reminder to "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming." And eventually, I broke the surface. I'm an excellent swimmer.

After gulping that nice big breath of air, it was time to leave. I'd learned what Tallahassee had to teach me.

So after my week home, in Olustee, Oklahoma, I'm ready to hit the road again tomorrow and head to LA and start earning my next star. But for tonight, I'm enjoying my mom's cookies, my amazing sky, and my last night of snuggling with my cat until Christmas.









And now.....LA.
