My oldest daughter was in every sport from tennis to softball and she never stuck with it. Every time she came to me and said mom I want to try something else I never told her “I don’t think you should do that because you’re not going to like it and you never stick with anything.” I tried never to discourage her. I wanted her to find something that she loved even if it took her a lifetime. We eventually discovered that she’s a great artist and that’s her thing. My youngest daughter on the other hand will do anything and everything because she just wants to stay active. Everyone is different.
I’m saying this to say that you can be 20, 30, or even 50, you should never give up on your dreams or be afraid to try something new. Even if you come up with a new idea every other month, find your passion and stick with it and don’t let anyone ever discourage you. I also encourage you to tell others around you how proud you are of them. Even if they tell you something crazy tell them that sounds awesome. Anything is possible. Who cares if we fail at least our intentions were good, we tried and now it’s on to the next chapter. You’ll never know if you would have succeeded at something if you never tried out of fear of others opinions.

Welcome to my world! Florida doesn't allow me to style in the cute new Fall clothes either. You look cute in your dress. I like it styled both ways!

One of my girlfriends is a new teacher and shes still in the adjustment phase, Im so happy for her and I tell her im proud of her all the time, I woke up to a text from her the other morning basically saying thank you for telling her Im proud of her because it means so much to her. I was only telling her the truth and didnt even know it was truly making her feel great! Inspiring post here!
In NY it's pretty cool here, but it feels great, Fall & Winter coming earlier than expected. Great dress I love the colors.
