Selfless Ambition

Happy New Year's Eve, y'all! What a great year this has been. Not void of challenges by any means, but it was awesome. I feel like I've grown a lot over the past year. And am so excited for 2013.

More others .} I'm challenging myself to serve God & others through weekly random acts of kindness. Writing more letters & thank you cards. Paying for strangers' coffee at Starbucks. Giving up a close parking spot to the car behind me. Taping a dollar to… Read more

Pinterest strikes AGAIN! Gosh, what did we DO before Pinterest?? I need to add meet the brainchild behind Pinterest to my bucket list. OK, enough gushing over Pinterest. For today. I pinned these 4 outfits over the past year or so.  1 | 2 | 3 | 4 Apparently, I like this color combo. ;) My friend Jasmin & her hubby usually host a holiday game night each year. But this year, we decided to leave the guys at home for some much needed girl time. And no combo of colors says GNO better th… Read more
