“The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud." -Coco Chanel
 
Hello to all y'all from San Antonio, Texas, where I'm having an amazing girl's weekend away. As I write this, I've realized it's not the beautiful riverwalk, the rooftop sunsets, or the delicious food that has made this weekend so magical. It is my friends. Lately, I have pondered on how we give as well as take space in each other's lives.  Yet, there are also many instances where we feel like we can be too much, and we react by trying to shrink into a smaller version of ourselves to better fit in.  One of my favorite quotes comes from Elyse Meyers, who said, "If I am too much, go find less." It's such an incredible reminder that our worth is immeasurable, and to surround ourselves with those who love and appreciate us for everything we are.
 
I am infinitely grateful for the amazing people and relationships that not only give me space in their lives and hearts but accept all my parts and pieces, even the slightly broken bits. Take space, beautiful friends. You are never too much. Never diminish yourself to fit into a mold that is not made for you. You are absolutely perfect and worthy of all the things. Always take space.

Orange Creamsicle Roll-out Sugar Cookies

Nothing is better than a delicious popsicle on a hot summer day. Nothing!!
I remember playing in the sprinklers on the front lawn while waiting for the ice cream truck to appear. Some days I was all about the Flintstone's push-up or a Strawberry Shortcake bar, but most days, it was an Orange Creamsicle—a perfect blend of tangy citrus and creamy ice cream center. This cookie recipe is everything sunshine, summer days, and happy-making and will take you back to those summer days no matter what time of year.
