Leslyn. One of my babies that has one of her own now.  Leslyn went to Ouachita (like most everyone in her family).  She was one of my kiddos.  One that I cooked for and let me giggle with.  During the days I was getting to know her, she was getting to know a...

If I didn’t love her so much, I’d be done with this one alone just from her daily mountain views in her Instagram feed.  She is teaching me so much about loving a visual moment.  About snagging the everyday and capturing it in a way to share with the...

Met this gal when I moved to NWA.  We met as volunteer and staff partner and soon became friends.  Along the way I learned she was bravely chronicling her journey with trying to get pregnant.  It was brave.  She is brave.  She is a fighter.  She fights for life on...

Loving this sweet friend of mine.  She is a constant encourager, lover of the everyday and teaching us all to love life and live in the moments in between.  Alison lives on the other side of the world and we can’t wait to have our Arkansas gal back on the...

Confession: yes, I had to look up her last name to make sure I spelled it right! Gina K as I know her is a giver.  Honestly, I’m learning more about this friend.  But, when I think about her, I think “inclusive”.  I love that she is always...

I’m going to cut to the chase on this intro.  I’m so grateful for this woman for believing me.  I mean she listened to a woman who hadn’t talked to me 5 years.  She took her word based on a conversation in the Clearance section of a Hallmark...

Whitney is one running fool.  I mean the last time I saw her, we were both looking rough…she had just finished a race.  I was just out at a farmer’s market on a Saturday morning.  Seriously I love seeing how independent and fiercely she lives.  As a...

This sweet friend is no stranger to you.  She kindly helped me celebrate my birthday this year by sharing with you her Pink Champagne cake (she knows a girl needs to celebrate with some pink sparkles!).  In that place, I told you about her, but you never really can...

Oh Jeanetta.  I’m just learning this friend, which is why I invited her to be part of this series.  I love her crocheted creations, her beautiful curls and the fact that she keeps it simple and just writes about life.  And, to make her even better, she went...

Brittney was one of my babies at Ouachita.  I’ve always admired how confident she is and how she just owned a stage anytime she stepped on it.  (I mean, the strong sisters have to stick together) I loved when she went off from Ouachita and got her...
