  • Lives Changed.

    It is the most beautiful thing in the world to witness someone do the work and change their life. Our Loveland, Colorado Girl Noticed Amy did just that. I can’t express how inspiring, motivating and heartwarming it was when I saw in her daughters eyes how proud she was of her mom. Kudos to Loveland,…

  • My Spirit Stands Tall. Independence Day.

      Nothing in life, nothing worth having comes without work, comes without some pain, comes without guts to make changes, comes without living courageously. We will not do everything perfectly, although we’ll expect that from ourselves because we’re women and we’re programmed to believe we must be perfect.  We’ll spend our time, money and energy…

  • Happy, like anything else it takes practice to be good at it.

    “If you think this world as a place intended simply for your happiness, you find it quite intolerable: think of it as a place of training and correction and it’s not so bad” C.S. Lewis I don’t know if your like me, but I’ve spent most of my life trying to figure out happy. I…

  • In her words…

    Quetcy was 17 when I featured her as the Troy, NY Girl Noticed. Her bravery and resilience does not go unnoticed. She owns her story and continues to push through.

  • Break out the bathing suit.

    Memorial Day weekend. Even though I live in Florida and can go to the beach any day of the year, it still ended up marking the day to pull out the bathing suit, see if it fit, and decide how I would define my body image this summer? Would the runway judges in my head be…

  • Believe it

    Sitting drinking my coffee this morning I found myself reflecting on the success of Girl Noticed’s Kickstarter campaign. Just one month ago I was sitting on the same couch, with the same mug, at the same computer questioning  what was to be my first real venture in fundraising. Good idea or not? Would people donate,…

  • The Girl Who Walked on Her Tiptoes.

    Semele Halkedis and I became friends in kindergarten, and it never seemed unusual that Semele’s heels never hit the floor when she walked. It almost seemed as though she had been given a special gift or ability to be able to walk on her tiptoes, because it made her that much taller with her head…

  • “Silver Dollars and Silver Boxes”

    I found myself laughing and telling this story the other day, and after telling it I began to reflect and realize how we carry our stories with us everyday, everywhere we go. We shape ourselves into the characters of those stories. So when you tell your story weather it be to yourself or someone else, be…
