life through my lens

So grateful to get back to my annual birthday run this year 🎈 | #ThisIs39
There are so many different ways to “Do Good”, and for me today that meant taking to the streets to march for reproductive rights. I’m proud to be a @ppact supporter and a #CotopaxiAdvocate and to use whatever platform I have to encourage others to also #DoGood. @cotopaxi
Had the best time frolicking around the city with these best friends, and the icing on the cake was getting to see this show last night | #BudaBesties
Loved running around the Land with these favorite friends this weekend | #MistakeOnTheLake2022
Treated myself to a 4-day getaway spent traipsing around Chicago with my mini-me and it was the best gift I could have given myself 💙
I am still processing a lot of feelings from this year’s Marathon Weekend, but this is a moment I want to hold on to for a long, long time — the excitement and pride my mother felt after getting her first 5k medal, at the age of 78, one year out from breaking her femur. Walking this race with her, and being able to share it with one of my best friends and one of my mother’s biggest fans was icing on the cake.
Had a fantastic weekend wandering Bentonville, eating all the food, checking out some art, and celebrating 10 years of best friendship (with a special appearance from Mark) | #veenontheroad #budabesties2k18
I’m almost finished with my blog post about my most recent New York visit, and I keep coming back to this photo. One of my best cousins and one of my best friends, who have themselves become great friends to one another. They bring so much joy and light to my life, and I loved this time we were able to spend together 💙
Continued the birthday celebrations last night at the Shell. Couldn’t have asked for better company or weather | #ilovememphis #choose901
