Being Here

This amazing short film by the incredible Becca Skinner and Hilary Oliver could not have been more perfectly timed for me right now. My life took a jump over the weekend, one I wasn't expecting to make for a little while yet, and while I will, of course, be sharing some of that in this space soon, I can't just yet. This beautiful and precious film reduced me to tears this morning as these women put into words precisely what I needed to hear to remind me of why Justin and I are making the decisions we are making for our future.

Having debuted at the 5 Point Film Festival and won the People's Choice Award, do yourself a huge favor this morning and take 5 minutes to watch this. You'll be so glad you did.

Enjoy!

Sometimes it takes a trip to a wild place to remember just how brave, connected, vulnerable and free we can be. Where is your wild place?
