Energized, enlightened and full of gratitude at the half-way point of the HFX, Peace With Women Fellowship as we complete our engagements in Colorado Springs. We kicked-off our stay with a hike in the Garden of the Gods and were inspired by Colorado’s natural beauty.

Baby W turns Two! Everyday is an adventure and she is into everything. She keeps us on our toes but we wouldn’t want it any other way.

Happy New Year Y’all - Baby W is 18 months & full of giggles, except when she’s not 😉 She loves books, dancing...music. She is at that ‘into everything’ stage and keeps life entertaining and slightly exhausting She’s a daredevil and no staircase is too steep or too high 🤣💕

We blinked and Baby W is 13 months. This little nugget has her first tooth, can crawl and mama and dad have to keep an eye on the curious little bean who is constantly on the move.

Baby W is 9 months old. We’ve had lots of fun this month trying new foods, playing piano, learning to sit and trying to stand. Mama’s proudest achievement this month: teaching Charlotte to High 5 🙌🏽💕⭐️🥰

It can sometime be hard to see the light but it is always there - even during the darkest nights - try to remember/know/believe that optimism will drive us forward and create progress and forward momentum 🙌🏽
The primary ingredient for progress is optimism. The unwavering belief that something can be better is what drives the human race forward.

Baby W is 8 months old! That’s 8 months of late nights & mornings that come too soon. 8 months of second guessing myself as a mama. It wasn’t an easy transition. I found it hard but 8 months of baby smiles, giggles, & squeals of delight makes all the angst & uncertainty worth it.

Lessons from 9 days on UCTC: Listen, lead and look after our people. If you can shoot, move and communicate you belong. Be honest and lead with compassion. Ask for help, build resilience, allow for mistakes and learning. Start with the 'why'. Believe + show what right looks like.
