she participated in a mock election day at school 8 years ago and couldn’t wait until it was her turn to cast a real-life ballot. she pre-registered 3 years ago, and now here she is in 2020 exercising her right to vote! so exciting! • #election2020 #leapyear #leapday #rockthevote #primaryelection https://www.instagram.com/p/B9LRKdlHzEf/?igshid=2ue77qyk15rh

want to win a trip for two to europe? read on. • i read jordan raynor’s first book, “called to create,” because the title resonated with me. i create things, and i believe that i’ve been called to do just that. • so when he announced his second book called “master of one,” i jumped at the chance to be on his launch team, which included reading the book in advance. my eyes were opened to the idea that for those of us that relate to being a “jack of all trades,” there’s a definitive way to master your ONE craft or calling and do it exceptionally well. i highlighted SO. MANY. NOTES. it’s that good. • so about that trip to europe—all you have to do is pre-order “master of one,” and you’ll be entered to win. visit jordanraynor.com to pre-order your copy (or copies) and to get more details on the sweepstakes and prizes! • #jordanraynor #masterofone #triptoeurope #whatareyoureading #calledtocreate https://www.instagram.com/p/B56R7-0n1KO/?igshid=fnrbthen7juh

thrifting & making things // made another wreath with garland from @honestthriftstudio and holiday floral picks from @goodwillsandiego. • after a week-long hacking cough and injured index finger (kitchen slice 🤦🏻‍♀️), it feels good to be in recovery mode. things that helped: gingerbread cookies, spicy korean food, good coffee, and company (because food & people always help). • #DIY #MIY #upcycle #thrifting #makestuff #shopsmall #thriftstores #christmaswreath https://www.instagram.com/p/B508NgSn1Sr/?igshid=1rz61al6b6scr

we are small but mighty! the fall growth group season has come to an end, so we closed it out with friendsgiving! not everyone could make it, but we made the most of the night with good conversation and lots to eat 😋 and belle made a few new friends! 🐶❤️ • like many people do every year, i asked everyone to share what they’re thankful for, but to go beyond the “common” answers (family, health, etc.), so they could dig a little deeper with their responses. i was blown away by everyone’s answers! our students shared with such vulnerability, maturity, and humble strength—i forget that they’re in high school! • special shout out to my rock star co-leaders, raquel & michael, whose wisdom and confidence in leading are a huge gift to me and our group! they are cool human beings and awesome friends to have! • #eastlakechurch #elchsm #friendsgiving #growthgroup #reallifediscipleship #HPFAFJ https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Ip3cuHsEh/?igshid=1p9uxlbr9862q

9 years ago, i watched sara bareilles perform for FREE at a radio-sponsored show in downtown san diego. i stood 5 feet away from her as an already die-hard fan, in total disbelief that she was singing right in front of me. • 3 years ago, i watched emily king perform at a small bar in san diego for $10. i sat 10 feet away from as a new fan, in total disbelief that i could witness such talent up close. • last night, those two worlds collided as emily opened up for sara on her “amidst the chaos” tour—they even performed a song that they wrote together! • still so in awe. highlights of the night: sara’s banter and all the crowd-participation moments, the “waitress” suite, “brave,” and my all-time favorite “gravity.” what a powerhouse! i’m forever a fan ❤️❤️❤️ • #sarabareilles #amidstthechaostour #emilyking #singersongwriter #chooseLOVE (at Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4QULAInEfs/?igshid=1qvs5t8tfu5w7
