Stepping into the GREAT unknown-

Hi, I am Athena!! I am a wife, a twin mom, and a teacher! I LOVE JESUS, coffee, running, and all things Target! If you love positivity and affordable style; you have come to the right place!! I am so GLAD you are here!

Stepping out into the great unknown and relying on HIS faith to do so. As we navigate this new space, I want you to feel welcome here knowing that we are beautifully flawed and perfect in his eyes. Instagram only gives a snap shot of truth, but here we will grow our friendship a little deeper! You are valuable to me! I am thankful you are HERE!

Here is a little more about me so we can become fast friends. I am fiercely loyal and compassionate- a true enneagram six. I take time to process most conversations and words matter to me. because I am both sensitive and sentimental. If you ask me to pray for you- I pray. If you ask me for something or need a favor- the answer is always YES! Faith, family, and friends are what makes my heart beat. God’s people matter to me. But, don’t worry, I am a far cry from perfect and have to learn that apologizing is growth. She Reads Truth says it best, I seek beauty, goodness and TRUTH above anything. I want to be your friend and help you with whatever you need; whether that is verse to get you through the day, a dress for your next event, a recipe, or a classroom lesson. We will navigate the great unknown together. I am stepping in obedience, step with me! I will always be here for YOU! You are loved- Athena
