MIA?

I realize that the Magnolias have been missing in action for much too long! I got married, Katelyn started law school, and Karson is on her way to becoming a yoga instructor!

New post coming very soon. We missed y'all.

Love,
Jessica

On community and friendship and the difference between.

I've felt so disconnected from this space and writing here. I think it's because I've had something in my drafts since November, and I know I have to write it out. I procrastinate hard things. Especially delicate, true-to-my-heart things. Sigh. It's not comfortable or sparkly or exciting. BUT. It is important, and now is the time. I don't know how to start this, honestly. Here's hoping I'm able to communicate my heart and not just word vomit ALL over this blog post. Read with grace. Let this be a conversation starter, even if it's just a conversation with yourself.  If you know me, I hope you know how much I love the people in my life. I adore them. (Like so much it hurts.) I've been spending time (11 months now) really thinking about community. What it looks like. What it means to me and in my life. For the first time, I've realized that friendship and community are not always the same thing. Try and follow my train of thought, if

I'm Jessica. Y'all, I love the Infl uence Network . LOVE. I was pretty pumped up to join this link-up and get to know my other Influ en tial sisters! (Did you know that you have influence? You. Yes. Seriously. ) I have no shame in taking a trillion pictures of myself...and then posting them all to I nstagram (or Facebook, Twitter, etc...), which you are sure to know if you already follow me! Here's one photo I love:   This pict ure is from last Easter! I like it bec au se I feel like it captures me: happy, fun, and stuck in a tree!  ;) Three things you should know about me: 1. I love making n ew friends. Seriously. Let's be real, invest-in-each-other-and-love-each- other friends.   2. I daydream a lot. I have so many things I want to accomplish. Right now, I'm trying to dec ipher between what I want and what God has fo r me. I'm hoping the two things are the same. You know the feeling?   3. I feel like time is passing so qu ickly. I keep gett

Let's chat about Covid-19 and the vaccine, shall we?

This blog is my outlet any time I have something to say (and am not too lazy to say it), so it shouldn't be a surprise to any of you that I'm finally touching on Covid-19 and the main feelings I've had about it over the last 17 months. I feel like we were doing well. The numbers were decreasing slowly. It seemed like we could see the light at the end of the tunnel...and it ended up being the headlight of a train. I don't even know where to begin, really. I keep thinking that if I feel like this, I can't even begin to image how our entire system of healthcare workers feels. I think I can take a guess though. They probably feel: Tired. Disrespected. Ignored. Like their time and efforts aren't valued. Last week, I felt so heavy and so grieved. This week, though, the rage is simmering just below the surface. (This is the feeling rotation I've been on for the past month.) I want to talk about the vaccine. Two shots and a booster. To protect myself and others - ba
