Running Beautifully

Have you ever wondered “what if”? What if I actually chased that dream? What if I took that first step? What if I stuck with it? What if I trained for a 5K? What if I put some effort into my goals and dreams? What if I really dreamt big? So many possibilities. So many challenges. So many reasons to “not”.

What if we just took a step forward and did the thing that is most on our mind? This has been on my mind for quite a while now…writing down the things that encourage and inspire me in hopes that it might encourage and inspire other women. So often we feel like we are out here on our own navigating life. It can be lonely and that all too familiar cancer of comparison likes to rear its ugly head and tell us everything we are doing wrong or everything she is doing right.

But here’s the thing – we’re all in this together and instead of comparing ourselves or looking down on others or judging, what if we all actually raised each other up? What if we all cheered for our fellow women? What if we all ran our life journey in the most beautiful way we know how? What an amazing world it could be.

We all have experiences in life where we have learned hard lessons that are worth sharing and my goal is to authentically share some tidbits I’ve learned to not only remind myself of these things, but also in hopes that it helps someone else. These could be experiences in life, fitness, marriage, parenting, cooking, style, hair…just about anything that might flow through my fingers onto this page. So, here goes nothing and here’s to hoping we can all live inspired together. Here’s hoping we can all run beautifully in this adventure called life!
