Even when the dark comes crashing through When you need a friend to carry you When you're broken on the ground You will be found . Just saw @dearevanhansen yesterday, and had my breath taken away all over again. What an incredible musical that is memorable and heartfelt while also speaking SUCH important messages of anti-bullying, suicide awareness, carrying each other and being kind. #youwillbefound . I want to say THANK YOU ALL for the outpouring of support and love that followed my post last week on insecurity and comparison. I’m gradually making my way through all your comments, and am absolutely blown away by the sincerity and kindness you all have shown. What really struck me is that we all feel insecure and alone at times—exhausted, and like we’re on the outside looking in and don’t belong anywhere. But nobody is alone. YOU are not alone. And I pray that when you feel tired, ashamed, overwhelmed, or heartbroken, you won’t let go—that you will find the strength to at least reach out your hand and allow someone else to help carry you through. ❤️ . Please know that if you’re ever going through something or even just have a day where it’s difficult to smile, there are people around you who love you and will listen and help. Remember that God created you with a purpose, that He loves you, and that the fact that you are you is enough. . If it helps and if you want to talk to me, I will also do whatever I can to listen and pray. Sending much love to you all, and let’s face the week ahead together with resilience. 🙏🏻 . . . . . . . . . #luckywelivehawaii #mauivisit #hawaiistagram #islandgirl #redsandbeach #girlsthatwander #ladiesgoneglobal #wearetravelgirls #gltlove #travelandleisure #maui #femmetravel #citizenfemme #darlingescapes #livecolorfully #hawaiilife #travelxstyle02 #teamkaptainkenny #backpackwithme #travellingthroughtheworld #nomadgirls #cntraveler #sheisnotlost #wonderful_places #damestravel #bestplacestogo #stayandwander #thetravelwomen #exploretheglobe

Happy Friday! How is your weekend so far? Today I found a piece of popcorn chilling in my scarf from the morning and got teary eyed while explaining the plot of "Your Name" (君の名は) to a coworker, so that pretty much sums up my day. 💁🏻 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #chasingwaterfalls #luckywelivehawaii #mauivisit #hawaiistagram #islandgirl #girlsthatwander #teamkaptainkenny #exploretheglobe #thetravelwomen #womentravel #darlingescapes #travelxstyle02 #backpackwithme #roadtohana #citizenfemme #wearetravelgirls #ladiesgoneglobal #damestravel #dametraveler #travelbloggeres #youmustsee #girlsdreamtravel #letsgoeverywhere #bestplacestogo #girlsborntotravel #suitcasetravels #bestoftravellers #shewhowanders #mytinyatlas #globelletravels

“Comparison is the thief of joy.” - Theodore Roosevelt . I know this quote can be overdone, but I think it's an important reminder. Especially on a social media platform like this. . It's so easy to compare ourselves to those around us feel like there's something wrong with us. I'm ashamed to admit that comparison often robs me of my joy. Whether I'm insecure about my appearance, my job, my skills, my relationships or my dropping numbers due to the ever-changing Instagram algorithm. But why do I focus on these things? . To some extent, we're all putting on a show and we're all insecure about something. So why not count our blessings and feel grateful for everything we do have? Why not offer support and love to those who are feeling similarly? . So here's a candid a reminder to live in the moment. Experience sunsets. Laugh and cry. Be present, not perfect. ❤️ . Sending much love to you all! . . . . . . . . . #luckywelivehawaii #mauivisit #hawaiistagram #islandgirl #sunset_pics #grandwailea #girlsthatwander #ladiesgoneglobal #wearetravelgirls #gltlove #travelandleisure #maui #femmetravel #citizenfemme #darlingescapes #livecolorfully #hawaiilife #travelxstyle02 #teamkaptainkenny #backpackwithme #travellingthroughtheworld #nomadgirls #cntraveler #sheisnotlost #wonderful_places #damestravel #bestplacestogo #stayandwander #thetravelwomen #exploretheglobe

Happy hump day! I’ve sat on a lot of benches in my life (supah lazy, I know), but this has to be one of the benches with the prettiest views—do you agree? #lovelulus #lulusambassador . What are you looking at right now, and what view would you rather be seeing? I’m currently sitting at a computer desk staring at a white wall, but would rather be staring at the Pacific Ocean! 🌊 . . . . . . . . #instagood #mauihawaii #maui #beautifuldestinations #backpackwithme #luckywelivehawaii #luckywelivehi #tlpicks #femmetravel #travellikeagirl #teamkaptainkenny #hawaiilife #oceanview #americanstyle #girlaroundworld #dametraveler #travellingthroughtheworld #blondesandcookies #traveltagged #girlslovetravel #gltlove #lifewelltravelled #islandgirl #hawaiisbestphotos #travelxstyle02

ROAD TO HANA TRAVEL TIP: Did you really go to Maui if you didn't chase waterfalls on this iconic road? Driving the Hana Highway is positively incredible, but it's also a daunting feat that boasts 59 one-car bridges and 620 curves in just 42 miles! I'm lucky that my hubby is a good driver, because I think I would've had a heart attack driving this road by myself. . There are some wonderful van tour options for those of you who aren't as confident in your driving skills (or who just want a more relaxing journey), but if you want to embark on your own handcrafted choose-your-own-adventure, head to my blog for my top 10 tips for driving the Road to Hana (link in bio)!

And if I had wings I would fly, because all that I need, You are And if the world caved in around me, to You I’d still hold on 🎶 . Reminiscing on this incredible day of inspiration that started with attending @hillsongla and ended with this beautiful sunset over Downtown LA, and meaningful conversations with @dparra819 and @therosietraveler. . Did you know that @skyspacela is the tallest open-air observation deck in California? It’s a little pricey, but I highly recommend checking it out and staying through the evening! This might be my favorite place for sunset views of LA. 🌅

This gorgeous maxi dress is a perfect example of a large must-have item for me that I wore on a couple flights to make space!
