When my heart is in a broken place, my instinct is to push through the pain, to get frustrated with the way I'm feeling, or to try and fix whatever is wrong, as fast as I can.

Courtney laib : Thoughts On the Gay Community / Part 1 {A Story}. STORY HOPE TEES {FOR CLEAN WATER}. Thoughts On the Gay Community / Part 1 {A Story}. I orgininally published this post a little over two years ago. With all that's happened in the last few weeks with the SCOTUS ruling, it seemed appropriate to "re-share". I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'd like to tell you a story. It's a story about a friend. In the most non-creepy way possible, Greg S and my friend followed the two girls into the shoe s...

http://www.courtneylaib.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Courtney laib : January 2014. STORY HOPE TEES {FOR CLEAN WATER}. 3 reasons why I love going to conferences. Some would say I'm a bit of a conference junkie.
