I don't know who needs to hear this today but it's on my heart to share... . . When I came out to my parents as a lesbian they didn't take it very well. None of my family did. One can imagine growing up in a small town and raised in a Baptist church what a LGBTQ+ lifestyle would mean to your family. . . Over the years things have grown better but during the years I have struggled in my beliefs. Because I started to believe that GOD didn't love me nor have a place for me anymore. . . Many don't understand that as a part of the LGBTQ+ community having love & acceptance from family is one thing but knowing you are still loved & cared for by a higher power, can mean a lot. Sometimes it can be the difference between giving up or continuing to move forward with your life and dreams. . . I want to encourage you today. Keep going. Know that GOD still loves you, still cares for you and HE will NEVER give up on you. . . #sundaythoughts #lgbtqπ #sundaymotivation #nevergiveup #heneverfails #spirituality #lesbianlife #godlovesyou #godnevergivesuponyou #daringdaily #daringcreativity #letyourlightshine #letloverule #knowyourworth #knowthyself #selfcaresunday #loveyoself #lovechangesthings #loveisfelt #lesbianfamily #lesbianlove #dontdoubtyourself #loveyourself

In the midst of my insanely busy day, I took a few minutes to find some peace in the chaos. My mind went to the country. The peaceful serenity, the fresh air, sounds of cows mooing and chickens clucking. Although I have come a long way from a small town in MS, I still have those Southern roots and values embedded in me. As the song says, Can it be that it was all so simple then? Yes, it was! I am grateful for the grind, but reminiscing also takes me back to a time when my dreams were in my head and in my diary. Now I live them every day. Keep pushing - it will be so worth it! . . #smalltowngirl #terryms #keepshowingup #keepgrowing #letlovewin #letyourlightshine #hometownglory #cattle #cowselfie #cowsofinstagram #countrylife #sundayvibes #sundaymotivation #dontdoubtyourself #dontgiveup #daringdaily #doitafraid #sundaythoughts

The first time I stepped in front of a camera, I had NO IDEA what I was doing. I was just a small town country girl who was trying to graduate from college, still helping my parents out on the family farm and trying to figure out who I wanted to be.π€― . . I had no idea what it would take for me to become good at being photogentic AND making money from it. With no modeling schools, classes or coaching going on around me (plus my parents didn't think modeling was a career). I had to learning while doing.π€ . . Learning by studying magazines, commercials and supermodels. One lesson I had to learn in the beginning was how to stand in front of a camera with a stranger on the other side and show no fear, nervousness or stiffness.ππ½ . . Today, all of it comes easy for me but I owe it to my beginning. There may be something that you are fearful of today, but that doesnt have to stop you.β₯οΈ . . Push through WITH fear, it's a simple reminder that you are alive and about to do something new. You never know what is waiting for you on the other side. Dream BIG and keep moving forward, FIERCELY! π―π . . #mondaymonday #petitemodel #petiteblogger #posingcoach #oncamera #oncameraskills #confidencecoach #modelinglife #mondaymotivation #modeling #oncameracoach #photostory #visualcontentcreators #lgbtq #contentcreation #beginnermodel #freelancemodeling #petitemodeling #blackinfluencers #letyourlightshine #keepshowingup #blackmodels #modelmotivation #womenmotivation #lifestylephotography #lifestyleinfluencer #lifestylephoto #modelingtips

β They tell you that you should not love another woman. β They tell you that the God you serve will cast you away. β They tell you that you should live your life in shame. . . I've learned that until you stop living your life according to everyone else's opinions and expectations you will never live your own life. . . My hope for all LGBTQ+ women is that you may always own your worth, love with your heart even when you are treated unfairly and know that you are never alone in this journey.

'Whole Self... what does that even look like?' My friend gives a slight chuckle with her reply after I told her these exact words in the photo above. My face lit up with a huge smile π as I explained to her that... . . Your Whole Self includes everything within you; self-respect, self- esteem, self-image, self-acceptance and self-love. These specific internal points are extremely important when you are looking to step out of the shadows and into fulfilling your life's purpose, without shame, doubt nor fear.ππ½ . . How many of us (women especially) are trying to do ALL THE THINGS, perfectly? So much so that it feels completely awkward when you just want to show up real, true, authentically as YOU?π€·π½ββοΈ . . It's time to scale down on the perfection meter and aim for something more sustainable...BEING WHO YOU ARE BORN TO BE. π― . .
