POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Sometimes, the biggest impact starts with simply showing up.
We had the privilege of visiting The Verb Kind with some incredible special guests; attorneys Paul Zeniewicz and Caleb Payne, Kenny Shaw, and William Gray.
At the end of the night, we asked each of them one question: What would you want people to understand about these young men?
Their answers say it all.
We hope this video shows the impact that taking the time to visit, listen, encourage, and connect with these young men can have, not only on them, but on you too.
Thank you, The Verb Kind, for continuing to welcome us and allowing us to be part of what you’re building. We’re already looking forward to the next visit. 💛

There are moments that remind you just how important it is to show up. ❤️

I was honored @cometojailwithme to be invited back to mentor young people @danielkidsjax Independent Living Village. These are young people navigating life on their own at an age when most of us are still figuring out who we are, with so much life ahead of them and so many possibilities yet to unfold.

Today, we introduced ourselves and talked about our names, where they came from, and what they mean to us. What seemed like a simple conversation opened the door to some very personal stories. For some, their names didn’t feel like who they are. For others, a name carried a history they wanted to leave behind. And some are searching for a name that represents something positive, something that belongs to them.

It was a beautiful reminder that we all have a story, and sometimes the opportunity to write a new chapter is exactly what we need.

It’s an honor and a blessing to be part of their journey, to listen without judgment, encourage without expectations, and hopefully help them see the possibilities that lie ahead.

We may not be able to change someone’s past, but we can help them believe in their future. And sometimes, simply knowing someone cares can make all the difference.

My heart is full. 💕

Last night I was running around my apartment — lighting candles, cleaning counters, running up the street at 10pm to pickup dinner…

At 10:30 my phone rang, and my mom told me she was parked out front.

I think one of my favorite feelings as an adult is when I don’t feel like one… do you know what I mean?

I think so often as we grow, we are dulled in ways. Kids live so free — squealing with excitement and jumping for joy, literally.

Upon picking up the phone last night, I threw on the quickest slip on shoes I could find and ran… LITerally ran down the hallway — then down the stairs, and all the way down the sidewalk, searching everywhere for a car with lights on.

My neighborhood is quiet at night — and although that can be peaceful, I sometimes find myself worrying that I’m too loud, or if I find myself walking after the sun is down I need to act invisible.

But last night… I didn’t care.

As my mom got out of the car I literally jumped for joy like I was a 3 year old who had just been offered a candy bar. We hugged and jumped together in the middle of the street — two grown adults — and it was freeing.

In that moment, I wasn’t worried about who walked by, or if they thought I was being “too much.” Because I was overwhelmed with love and a unique happiness that is hard to find. I was too busy showing love. Feeling love.

Love can be, and is, a lot of things. I’ve spent so much of my life searching for it — and yet how wonderful are moments like last night… to remind us, to remind me, that love is more than a future companion, but it’s also the jumping for joy hugs with my mom, and the pumpkin coffee cup my niece surprised me with. It’s in the little girls I share my love of dance with every Saturday and the young boys I learn from every Tuesday. Love is in the community I have found and in the faith I follow. It’s everywhere… we just have to be open enough to see it.

Big dreams start with the right people in your corner. 💛
Grateful for another evening with The Verb Kind last night, talking about peer pressure, positive influences, and the goals these young men have for their futures.
