3 Tactics to Build Lasting Friendships

10/23/2018

I used three strategies to make intentional friendships this past summer. These were the results.

Keeping Up the Fight

10/18/2018

One of my favorite speakers often talks about the necessity of thanking our experiences for what they make us. I didn’t realize how true this practice was until I experienced crippling anxiety. It’s easy to look back on our lives and hold on to the moments that hurt us. We might catch ourselves blaming exes for breaking our hearts, our parents for being human when they were only trying to do the best they could or even our childhood for being painful or traumatic. It’s also not an easy task to pick yourself up when it seems life has knocked you down – but it’s possible! I’m living proof of that.

Say it Loud: The Power of the Girl Voice

10/11/2018

International Day of the Girl is all about celebrating girl power and encouraging girls to leave their mark on the world! This year, during the #LetsTellHer campaign for International Day of the Girl, Girls on the Run highlighted super girls like Kindhearted Kenidra who sounded off against gun violence, Magnificent Megan who lent her voice to safety, the Wise Wijsens who successfully spoke out about saving the environment and Amicable Acacia who helped heal the hurting with encouraging dialogue and a focus on friendship. But, these five girls aren’t done using their voices to positively impact people and communities all across the globe. They continue on, in solidarity with every girl who leads the way to change each day.
