What does it mean to be a #ladyboss??

 

My sweet friend Shauna @chicover50 sent me one of her signature #ladyboss tees a few weeks ago when she knew I was going through a particularly difficult time.  (Grab one for yourself or a friend on her website HERE!)

I opened the shirt, smiled – cause my friend loves me, so yay – but then immediately thought to myself, “I sure don’t FEEL like a #ladyboss …”       I felt completely overwhelmed and unsure.  I was making some hard decisions – life-changing & emotional.  I honestly felt more like wrapping myself in a blankie and crawling into a hole rather than strutting boldly in a tee that proclaimed I was a female with hustle in her game!

But then it hit me…. #ladyboss doesn’t mean we don’t struggle.  It’s actually quite the contrary!

Being a #ladyboss means we make it happen THROUGH The Struggle!  We Keep Going.  We accept the challenge, do our best, keep smiling  – sometimes even through our tears –  and make it happen!!   YEP~ We Keep GOING!

So the next time life throws a curve ball your way (#baseballspeakforlorin), remember its not how you FEEL that determines your #ladyboss statusYou Are A Lady Boss Because You Kept Going!   Determined To Finish ~ Head Held High So The Crown Never Slips!

 

I paired my #ladyboss tee with the most amazing leopard pant and this designer inspired backpack (have I told y’all how much I love a backpack???!)  You could add this fabulous blazer to dress it all up a bit or pair it with the perfect shorts for those warm summer days coming our way!  They’re all linked below – simply scroll through to shop them all!

 

 

Love y’all! Have a wonderful Thursday!!

***And to my friend….  all those night-late night phone calls filled with giggles and tears created a sisterhood across the miles.

Thank you for being my #ladyboss bestie with a heart of gold – reaching out to send some love when a friend needed it most.

So grateful for you! XOXO

Beauty Begins Within:

Continuing on here with this #ladyboss mindset.  My prayer lately is that I will remember that we as women were created to feel, to be emotional – to be human.  I am trying to embrace that side of myself as I encourage those that walk alongside me to do the same.

For he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.”

Psalm 103:14
