hey @btedwards18... you ready to get back to our mountains?! 😍😍😍 #WeAreTheEdwards #COSiloveyou #BlesteForTheRest #BlesteAdventures

here’s my #mentalhealthawareness day post... 1. be kind to people - you don’t know what battle someone is facing. you wouldn’t know that by looking at me that once i couldn’t get on a plane because of a panic attack or that a month before our wedding i chucked my bible at a wall. underneath our day to day could be something that feels impossible. 2. you’re not alone - don’t even believe that lie because more people struggle with the depths of mental health that we know. let’s make it ok to talk about it and bring it into the light. 3. find 👏🏼 a 👏🏼 GOOD 👏🏼 counselor 👏🏼 i can’t stress this enough. the best advice i was ever given when it comes to my mental health is to seek help. it doesn’t make you weak, you do not need to be fixed. you need tools, support, affirmation that you are worthy and a safe space. I’ve been to multiple counselors and when i found the right one it was the best investment of my time and my money. that’s it friends. just three simple things, just a reminder for today, because around here I talk about mental health ALL the time. Today is just a calendar event, everyday is when we actually have to show up. Let’s talk, let’s do the hard thing #letsdomoreofthat you owe it to you and to your tribe ♥️

sometimes i feel like an iPhone, that I’m worth a lot but at any moment I could shatter... and other times it feels like what was meant to break me, actually makes me brave 👚 #onwednesdayswewearpink @meangirlsbway

today: young, scrappy, and hungry in the 🦊 cities... - - - tomorrow: not throwing away my shot to sit with the plastics in the twin cities 🤭 #sofetch #twobroadwayshowsinONEday

a little mantra to myself because some days i really need to believe that instead of mumbling “I can’t even”, “Actually, I can”... we can do hard things... we can rest... we can be kind... we can stand that person... we can change... we can give things a try... we can be accepting and not judgmental... we can believe in dreams, and we can make them happen... I’m guilty of a lot, I drop the ball, I don’t always do everything right or meet every goal. But it doesn’t mean I can’t do it, that we can’t do it. It doesn’t mean that we can’t change, that the dream is too far out of reach, or that things can’t be redeemed. It means we might have to be a little less prideful or a little more driven. It means that we might have to go against what feels “natural”. And I’m here for it because like @perkos_place said yesterday, “I want to be intentional with the rest of my life.” So yes ma’am, “actually, I can.” #LestesYearOfYes

3:47am is becoming a favorite time. - - last night I fell asleep thinking about all that could come in future years. and what freedom and what fear can come from being in a place where many directions are an option. yet I’m starting to dig my heals in because I don’t want to get stuck somewhere either. that happy middle of predictability and possibilities is where i thrive. - - last night i also woke up at 3:47am. because this time stamp has happened before, my dialogue with God was different. i didn’t wake up in fear or startled. instead i picked up my phone, saw the time, and i knew Who had woken me, because this had become our time. - - i asked Him what He wanted to tell me, and all I heard was...”to write.” Which is funny because I laid in bed last night almost with this second wind, feeling like I needed to press into that calm and creative space that comes when things are still. it’s kind of a sacred space that comes when the rest of the world is sleeping. - - but i didn’t press in, i let myself fall asleep. 3:47am is an interesting time for God and I. Jennie Allen says nothing good happens at 4am, that it’s when the enemy likes to grasp for our heels at our most vulnerable. So I think right before the worst might want to creep in, when I am at my weakest, God stirs me awake to tell me the things He wants me to remember, the dreams He wants me to chase, and the promises He wants me to hold onto. So maybe in this unsettled-ness, where I’m itching for my next creative outlet, and where I feel my voice is best understood through written words He is telling me to do something... - - “to write.” #LestesYearOfYes
