My #BeReal guest today is Caryl. I relate so much to my guest today. I have very little else to say because she says it so well. Thank you Caryl for being honest and vulnerable. Thank you for being beautifully real and your smile was the first thing I noticed. 🙂 Who am I?…
My #BeReal guest today is Mary Rowen. I pass people everyday and wonder what they are like. This series is taking an image of a person and then we tell you their story. Not a made up fictional story about how that person would like to be seen but their deep truths. People are revealing what they believe makes…
My #BeReal guest today is Gretchen Kellaway. It doesn’t really happen that often. At least not to me. I read a piece written by a stranger and feel it was MEANT for me at exactly the right time.

Winter met my falling tears solidifying their instability memorializing them in ice Frozen prismatic reminders reflecting the fading light of all the lives I left behind All the words I’d lost left behind and ignored forever confined and suspended Every thought born alone like fingerprint snowflakes from a mind frozen and numb Every season of…
You’re are the reason I open my eyes Why I care at all About the sunrise You are the reason I go to bed at night In hopes I’ll dream You love me And We will be alright

My #BeReal guest today is TJ Lubrano. Besides being super talented (and Oh My Gosh is she talented) she has the ability to make the sun shine at midnight. If I had to pick one person to be a role model for my daughter it would be TJ. I often think if she had an…
