Happy Friday!
I’ve been thinking a lot about authenticity and vulnerability lately.
One of my goals last year was to post videos on my blog, but I never did. It is awkward to record yourself and then to have to watch yourself over and over again while you edit the videos.
But I LOVE watching videos on other people’s sites, and I really think you get a sense of what people are like when you listen/watch them talk instead of just reading the words they write.
So, I decided that I am going to give posting videos a more valiant effort.
Maybe I was inspired by the little girl with the Youtube channel on the White House Down movie Matt and I watched last night. [Have you seen it? It was a better movie than I thought it would be, because of that little girl!]
I had a coffee date with a friend of mine today that inspired me to make my first ever video blog [vlog, if I want to get fancy], and upload it for the WORLD to see on Youtube! Ahh!
Thank you, Haley for the heart to heart today. It was exactly what I needed!
Have a great weekend, guys!
P.S. Don’t count how many times I say “um” in that video. I was NERVOUS! I’ll get better, I promise!

Way to go! Welcome to the video world. Ryan says it gets so much easier over time. You get use to talking to the camera. So glad you are stepping out to obtain that goal even though last year you were to scared to do it. Go get those dreams!
Cassie, thank you!! I believe Ryan – he would know with all the youtube videos he’s done! Baby steps will eventually lead to big things, right?! xo!!
Such a great and inspiring first vlog.
