I’ve struggled with fear my whole life but as I’ve grown one of my favorite things to do is give it a big ol’ middle finger as much as possible (literally and figuratively!). I wasn’t very athletic as a teen. I played softball and was a majorette - both things I had been doing since I was a young girl - but I didn’t like to try new things.

I have one hope in sharing my words and thoughts - that you will look for ways to grow. You may not be able to predict your future but you can change it.  xo, Julie
