She.Is.Beautiful 2014

I'm going to detour off fruits of the Spirit for a post (or two) because we have finally made it to the moment this all started. On Sunday, September 21st, I ran the

2014 She Is Beautiful 10k!!!


So we finally made it! After 133 days of training, laughing, crying, traveling, dancing, learning and blogging (not  nearly everyday, but we'll get to that later) I ran 6.2 miles surrounded by a bunch of beautiful ladies and inspiring quotes. 



When I started this blog, I had every single intention to write about beauty everyday. For the first two weeks, I held on to that. But then something shifted. The blog was turing from a sweet journey into a stressful task. So I gave myself a break. I'm pretty sure you've noticed that I don't have 133 posts. That's because I could have said 133 things about beauty, but they would have held NO SUBSTANCE. What's the point of writing if it's not worth reading? I didn't have to write something every day in order to have something to say. 

So what was the point of this thing if it shifted so much from its original intent? 

It was probably to learn a whole bunch of stuff…

  • I like writing stuff out for you guys.
  • I am capable of pushing myself harder than I thought.
  • When I work out, it's not to be skinnier, it's to feel better when I wake up to take on the next day's adventure.
  • Having a positive spirit is one of the most beautiful things you can do. It shines through physically and spiritually. 
  • Beautiful is not about one thing. It is everything, all equally important, wrapped up into someone's presence.
  • Beautiful will always be changing and growing. And I want to push every day to get there.
So maybe I didn't blog every day, but at least I made it to the finish line
So what now? 

Well, the blog doesn't end here. And neither will my focus on beauty. I think that is always going to be a passion of mine. I'm going to keep on writing and keep on learning. And eventually, I'll make it to 133 posts. I'll just be older and wiser when we get there :)

So thanks for sticking around with me. And I hope you'll continue to do so! 


So here's to the next adventure!!
