Be raw. Be authentic. Be you.
It has now been a year since I officially put Truths and Gratitude out into the world. I remember thinking how I desperately wanted to just write. To get my most honest thoughts out into the world, and hoping that they would make an impact of some kind. So Truths and Gratitude was born
.
Now a year later, I want to take the time to reflect on what exactly is it that I want for this blog. What do I want to convey to you, my readers, who consistently check back in to see what it is that I need to say?
I think the biggest idea that I hope for you to take away is exactly what our motto is here at T+G.
This is something that we could easily see on a dainty quote card or can look up on Pinterest. This quote we could easily see someone post as their Instagram caption or latest hashtag (are those still a thing?).
"Be raw. Be authentic. Be you."

But if we are honest with ourselves, the art of being completely raw, completely honest and authentic, that can be a terrifying concept can't idea? The idea of being exactly who we are meant to be with no apologies or hesitations. No facade or highlight reel that we are trying to portray. But us... owning our crap just as much as we own our good.
Think how easily we accept the crap, the lies and negative that may come our way. We take it hook line and sinker. We fret and worry about it. But when any positive or light comes our way, we raise our hands and say amen but then quickly forget it. We are constantly needing a light filled reminder.
And thats ok. If you need a reminder, that is what I want Truths and Gratitude to be for you. A reminder that you are beautiful and worthy and already enough. Just the way you are. Very quickly I fell into this trap thinking that this blog needed to have lots of followers, lots of likes and numerous shares. I fell into this trap of trying to hustle with the blog with marketing and reaching more.
That's not what this is about. This place is a reminder. Your reminder. And more importantly my reminder. So thank you for joining me for a year. A year of full on intention, honesty and loving so damn hard.
