    Model and Empower Lydia Lockhart (Note: if you missed the introduction to this series, be sure to read it first.) I grew up hearing my mom preach every Sunday. My dad would get us ready in the morning, and we would walk with my brothers in the stroller down the street a couple blocks to…

    On Sunday I celebrated Galentine’s (a day early). I invited some friends over for appetizers, drinks, and conversation. But more than some blood orange flavored drinks (they were so good), I wanted to acknowledge and recognize how amazing each woman was (and trust me, they really are amazing). Growing up, I have been pushed out…

    Isn’t it odd when you meet a person, but don’t really get to know them till after they move away?  Well, that’s the case with Abbie and me.  We both went through the same grad program, but our paths did not often cross before Abbie finished her degree and moved away.  Fast forward to last…

    Let me introduce you to Amy.  She’s a fellow red head (I always find that there’s always an unspoken kinship among gingers).  But really, we connect because we are pop culture kindred spirits.  Our first conversations were about the films we enjoyed…and how we really liked such similar types of movies.  The connection was sealed…
