Last Friday I shared a ridicolous photo of myself from elementary school and I had SO many of my friends ask if that was really me! Of course it was! When I was younger I was so terrified of rejection and so self-conscious. I thought everyone was judging me and it broke my heart every time I wasn’t included. I had my feelings hurt and then hurt again in high school and somewhere along the lines I started to guard my heart. I was sad and I was lonely, but I thought it was better than having my feelings hurt. I was so wrong, but the whole experience left my heart a little bit bigger and for that I am thankful.
It’s ironic that I started a business that constantly requires me to put myself out there in order to succeed. I am so thankful that my passion overrides my fears and self doubts.I hope that everyone out their struggling with their own insecurites realizes that you can do anything you set your mind to. Don’t be the one standing in the way of your dreams.

Thank you for this incredible story! My 19 yr. old daughter has a heart of gold and is a beautiful young lady! She is very mature for her age! Right now she is guarding her heart and is very cautious with females! Her class was very small and she was always left out of functions! She was not going to surroudn her self with girls drinking and drugging! When she graduated she said that was the last time she was going to have to be around all those people! Now she is on the Dean’s list at UGA and to this day cringes when she sees people she went to school with!Right now she is struggling with her room-mate situation because she doesn’t want to leave any of her new friends left out or behind. She went up there and started over and has made some real sweet friends! Thank you for your post! A great way to start my day!
