I am Rachel Elizabeth! Welcome to my blog. Here is where I share authentic stories from my life including dealing with mental health, adopting two adorable pups, planning my wedding (multiple times), traveling, and much more. I share my thoughts in the hopes to spread awareness on mental health and bring more positivity into your life.
All in Snapshots of Life
I made this blog with the hopes that your holiday shopping is easier than holiday photos with our little family. But in all seriousness, this is not your average holiday shopping guide. This blog not only contains over twenty small business for you to support this holiday season but you will get to know them along the way.
Take yourself back to kindergarten or first grade. It's the first day of class, you're in the outfit you so proudly picked out for yourself (or your parent picked out for you), and you're full of excitement and nervousness. During playtime, you go up to another student in the classroom and joyfully ask, "Can we be friends?".
With all the unexpected turns that college presented me, I firmly believe that those changes built up the strong aspects of my character and challenged me to examine my weaknesses. My undergraduate experience was an incredibly fulfilling and rewarding one and will continue shaping aspect of my character going forward.
“Learning does not end when you take off the cap and gown, learning should be a continuous journey and present each and every day. We should make it our goal as a society to strive to foster and celebrate learning so that we raise a generation that is curious and eager to learn.”
“Most days as I drove to school, I felt this tight knot in my stomach, not because of a test, project or paper, but because I wasn’t comfortable at school and was so nervous about what the day would bring.”
I was challenged by my coach to come up with answers to, “Who are you?” and “What is your personal message?”. Encompassed throughout my reflection, ‘An Open Letter to the People Who Make Me Stronger’, are my thoughts about why I am the person that I am today and the mission statement that I strive to live out daily.
