What do you #ChooseToChallenge?

I.e. if there’s one thing you fight for on an everyday basis, what is it?

It would definitely be ME time that I fight for on an everyday basis. Everyone is awarded 24 hours in a day, so in between Little Days, baking cakes, taking care of my three young children, making time for my husband, running the household, and spending time with friends, I make sure to carve out at least 45 minutes during the day just for myself. This time affords me the chance to recharge, regather, and be fully present for anything the day has to offer me. I can’t say this has been the easiest task, but my Me time has definitely made me a happier, more patient person, especially in front of my children!

What can women do everyday to make the future a better place for women?

The greatest lesson I got out of attending a women’s college was the value of sisterhood. Us women have to understand that we have to continue to fortify one another, lean on each other and trust one another in order for us to combat, deal, and grow together as strong, loving, and empowered women. This is especially true when we become mothers. We don’t exactly live in villages anymore, so it’s important that we re-create the metaphorical village for one another when life starts to inevitably throw curve-balls our way!

"Life is short, so try not to sweat the small stuff and enjoy the relationships you have. Love yourself, be kind to yourself, and do the same towards others! Love will always beget love."
