Sarah!! Love this article so much, so many strong insights from this and I resonated with all of them. The reflections on control, on the line between creating and performing, and on being worthy! And I felt such immense joy reading your part about being worthy, like YES!!! This is the mentality we need to have, and reading your words helps me with my own self worth! I also loved your summer pics, and my absolute favorite part was the line you said about how there is "no right way" to do anything, like talk about breaking through the shackles of society and being free to do life OUR own way!!

Awww thank you for this beautiful and thoughtful reflection, Lia! I am honored that my words and perspective touched you, it feels really freaking good. Especially how you mentioned that reading my words help your with your own self worth, it reminds me of what Lacy & Jessica say about how living life as your brightest, most authentic self gives others permission to do the same.

Thank you for our wonderful, mutual appreciation! 💞
