Writing it. Launching it. Living it. ✨For the "It's My Turn!" Collective
with 2nd Chapter Plans That Won't Do Small.

You don't have to become a different person becaus You don't have to become a different person because someone misunderstood you. 💥

Could you have been having a bitchy-looking day? Sure. 😂
Was your Zoom-face giving “Why the hell am I here?” Absolutely!

But one moment or season isn't your whole personality.

And someone else's assumptions, insecurity, or jealousy isn't yours to carry.

Not at our Big-Age! 😏

Ever been misread? A little or a lot? 👀 You’re bu Ever been misread? A little or a lot? 👀

You’re bubbly, so you must be a lot.
You’re quiet, so you must be cold.
You’re confident, so obviously you think you’re better than everyone else. 🙄

People can build a whole damn personality for you from one interaction, one expression, one comment, one bad day.

And sometimes? They get it spectacularly wrong.

Sometimes our goals are just too damn big. Not bad Sometimes our goals are just too damn big. Not bad, but big-big. 😩

And no, that doesn't mean quit the dream.

It means resize the goal... down.

Make the next step so manageable that your brain can't convince you to run away naked down the street screaming. At least put some knickers on. 😂

Ever think that maybe your goal is too damn big? M Ever think that maybe your goal is too damn big? Make it smaller, don't quit your dream, 

Sometimes we make the starting point so bloody big, from excitement, that we’re exhausted before we even begin.

So make it smaller.

Small doesn't mean insignificant. It means you can actually start and keep going. ❤️

Showing up doesn’t always mean knowing what to say Showing up doesn’t always mean knowing what to say. ❤️

But walking beside someone, sharing a laugh, remembering, and simply being there.

We showed up. And we’ll keep showing up. ❤️

This week’s post came a little early. ❤️ But this This week’s post came a little early. ❤️

But this one needed to be shared while the moments of the day still were still so close to my heart.

I shared more about Saturday’s walk, Kyle’s Crew, and the people who made the day so meaningful. ❤️

We showed up. ❤️ Yesterday, Maryland weather was. We showed up. ❤️

Yesterday, Maryland weather was... well, Maryland-ing. T'was wet, windy, and cold.

But what did we care... we showed up for Kyle and Kyle’s Crew.
For Todd.
For our mates, and the memories of loved ones.
For a cause that exists to save lives and bring hope. ❤️

Getting older and bolder keeps reminding me of thi Getting older and bolder keeps reminding me of this:

Not everyone needs access to every version of you. 🔐

You can be authentic without being completely accessible or explaining yourself to death.

And you can say:

“Yeah... I’m not talking about that right now.”

Period. Done and dusted. 👏🏾

If they respect it, great.

If they keep pushing?

Well… now you know something about them. 👀

Your life is yours to share or to keep. ❤️ Link to post in bio.

You know what you don't owe people? Access. 🔐 No You know what you don't owe people?

Access. 🔐

Not to every part of your life.

And definitely not an explanation just because someone is curious.

Curiosity does not create an obligation.

Sometimes you can simply say:

“That’s an interesting question. Why do you ask?” 👀 

And then just… wait. Sus them out.

You are allowed to keep some things private. ❤️ In fact, you should do. Link to post in bio.
