Guys. I seriously don’t even know where to begin this post. I have the most overflowing heart these past few days and the people pictured above are a HUGE part of that!

A few years ago, I became a part of a local group here in Canton, OH called ‘Tuesdays Together’, which is ultimately a group of creatives that meet once a month, on Tuesdays. These groups are formed all over the US, and they are AMAZING. These groups were created with one thing in mind: community over competition. How incredible is that?!

But to be honest, this group and these people are so. much. more. They have become some of my closest friends and some of my biggest cheerleaders. They are always doing whatever they can to boost my business, my posts, my confidence, and so so so much more.

I have found, for me, that surrounding myself with like-minded people inspires me more than anything. I leave these meetings feeling SO motivated and SO on fire.

And that brings me to my main point: what gives you that in life? Is it your partner? Is it your girlfriends? Do you have something that ignites a fire in you? Of course there are many different “fires” to ignite in a person, but I really ant you to think about that. What motivates you? What is pushing you to do better and achieve more this year?

I urge you to find connections like this group. Find people that not only share in your dreams, that ENCOURAGE you in them. Find genuine, authentic people- and be sure to do the same in return. Cheer them on. Support them in their dreams. Do all you can do to ignite their fire. Because I promise friends, a rising tide lifts ALL boats. <3
