Today this wonderful soul to my left has headed off with her husband on a cross country adventure to travel to their new home in Portland, Oregon! This is not a goodbye post, because I do not do goodbyes but a ‘see you later’. I cannot put in words how much your friendship has meant to me and how blessed I am to have you in my life. You are the definition of a true friend and I cannot wait to come visit you - sooner than later. But until then...I’ll just have to miss you here back in GA 😭 • Love you mucho my friend. Praying for a safe trip for you two and anyone reading this, if you are so inclined, please say a prayer for them as well! The best is yet to come🚗🏔🛣❤️ #listenlinda #peeltheavocado #itsanavocadothanks #imnogoodathashtags #okayimdone https://www.instagram.com/p/BpzEZApAzbW3A7Ghsa2zKp49VRmGJAQ5SLPqpE0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=25buvghzdqdo

Goodbye 27 and Hello 28 👋 • • Most people say I do not look my age and for those people I am forever thankful though today I am most thankful for each and every person who took time out of their day to wish me a Happy Birthday. Sure know how make a girl feel special! For every text, phone call, post, message and gift... GRACIAS!!! I could never express to each of you truly how much it has meant to me but I will say you have left my heart gauge on full. Twenty-seven was a good year filled with a lot of understanding and growth. I can only imagine what greater things year twenty-eight will bring. So here’s a photo of my oh so grateful face surrounded by some balloons. Again, thank you. Humbled. Love you all ❤️ Jess https://www.instagram.com/p/BosMGX1FqoV5F1G568uJA2xu23FqRJgaqt7dJg0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rgbh6uaimqui

Feeling like a snack. Kidding. Feeling like I’ve ate too many snacks. 😭 https://www.instagram.com/p/BoSFYxJlF4fNM42t7yLrTx1PRSw4bv2HuvxXt80/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=k8josqmbhwyh

I’m back. *inserts meaningful quote here* • • • Who am I kidding? I’ll see you in another few months. Maybe. But until then you can enjoy these photos by my sweet friend @aschlottmannphoto ❤️ She caught my best two moods: chill and laughing till my nose crinkles up. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bniw_xplTPfrG-UtZikbO2Ac3ImVp50HQw8J2s0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=76hctk57pc0y

4.26.18 • • Today would have been your 96th Birthday. I seriously miss you more everyday. But I remember you always telling me when the day came and you were not here anymore to always find the brightest star in the sky and know it would be you winking at me. Almost any night when the clouds are not covering the sky I look up and watch all the stars sparkle but find the biggest one and tell myself it’s you. Can’t wait to spend eternity with you one day but as promised I will continue to be good and do you proud. To you, my favorite person, my bestfriend, my Granny. Happy Birthday 🎉🎁🎈 SN: I was about 15 in the first picture and I just started attending Free Chapel. 12 years later and still going strong.

“I’m happy when I eat fresh fruit, when I burst out laughing, when I discover a new song, when I finish a good book, when I wake up and feel relaxed. I’m glad to have friends, family, a home, food when I am hungry, hot water when I shower. I love being able to live and see the seasons change, to have gifts at Christmas and at my birthday, to travel sometimes, to have a good education and great access to culture. I’m flattered when people compliment me, when people smile at me, when people are polite to me. There are so many things that make life so simple and easy and I will always think about them more than all the bad things that will happen to me. I do not have time to be sad everyday and ungrateful; I have every reason in the world to be happy.”

You Are Not For Everyone • The world is filled with people who, no matter what you do, will point blank not like you. But it also filled with people who will love you fiercely. They are your people. You are not for everyone and that’s OK. Talk to people who can hear you. Don’t waste your precious time and gifts trying to convince them of your value, they won’t ever want what you are selling. Don’t convince them to walk alongside you. You’ll be wasting both your time and theirs and will likely inflict unnecessary wounds, which will talk precious time to heal. You are not for them, and they are not for you; politely wave them on and continue on your way. Sharing your path with someone is a sacred gift; don’t cheapen this gift by rolling yours in the wrong direction. • Keep facing your true north. 🌻 (at Fausetts Farms Horse Trails)

Had a “photo shoot” with my dog. He wasn’t very cooperative but I guess you can say I got a couple good ones. Thought I share for no real reason except that I think my dog is cute. Enjoy 🌶

2017 || What can I say? Cannot believe in a few short hours I will bid you farewell and say hello to a brand new year but before you go - I just wanna say...thank you. • Thank you teaching me more about life and about myself. Thank you for allowing me to see how important it is for me to love myself no matter how others may see me. Thank you for showing me how crucial it is to surround myself with people who love me for me. But most of all thank you for showing me that even in my darkest times, when all seems lost, God remains faithful. Gonna miss ya but excited to see what this new year will bring. Happy anew Year Everyone 🎉 (at Nashville, Tennessee)
