My "Word" for 2026

My "Word" for 2026

Every year, I choose a "Word of the Year." Usually, it comes to me quickly, but this year? I’ve struggled. I wanted something that felt substantial, something that could carry the weight of my ambitions for this year. But most importantly, a word that is in alignment with God's will for me this year.

I kept circling back to a series my church has been doing lately that stopped me in my tracks: On Purpose.

I know, I know, it’s two words, not one. But it felt so relevant that I couldn’t ignore it. To me, living "On Purpose" means moving with coordinated intention.

In a world that constantly asks us to react, to emails, to kids, to trends, to the "fog", being purposeful is a revolutionary act. It’s the difference between just getting through the day and actually designing your day.

Whether it’s how I show up for my family, how I serve my clients, or even how I choose the pieces in my closet, I want every move to be intentional. No more "accidental" mornings or "distracted" decisions. I can't control my day, but I can control being rooted in the bible that guides my heart, my thoughts, and my steps.

This year, we are doing it on purpose.

How are you approaching your goals this month? Are you moving with intention, or are you still waiting for the fog to clear? I’d love to hear what "On Purpose" looks like for you

From poolside polish to vacation-One-piece Swimsuit Style Guide

Greetings!

Swimsuit shopping can bring up all kinds of feelings—it’s easy to stand in front of a mirror and start picking yourself apart. But the truth is, our bodies are all different, and that’s something to celebrate, not critique. The most important thing is to wear what YOU like and what makes YOU feel good. This isn’t about hiding or fixing anything—it’s about finding a suit that fits your shape, your style, and your comfort. There’s a swimsuit out there that’s just right for you, and you deserve to take your time to find it. Be kind to yourself—you are beautiful, just as you are.

Brief Style Tips for Shopping One-Pieces

Start with structure: Do you want built-in support like underwire, shelf bras, or compression panels if you want shape and lift?

Know your neckline: A square or plunge neckline elongates the torso, while halters draw the eye up and can balance proportions.

Use color with purpose: Dark tones are classic and contouring, while bold hues or prints can highlight features you love.

Play with texture: Ribbed fabrics, matte finishes, and shimmered weaves can all change how a suit looks and feels.

Think beyond the pool: Many one-pieces double as bodysuits—pair one with a sarong, linen trousers, or a printed skirt for instant outfit elevation.

ONE-PIECE SWIM GUIDE

Fit Challenges:

The torso length is one of the biggest reasons a one-piece doesn’t fit well. If you’ve ever felt like a suit is pulling down at the shoulders or riding up in the wrong places—this might be you. If you’re 5’7” or taller, or if you often find one-pieces feel short, tight at the shoulders, or ride up—you likely need a long torso fit or a style with adjustable straps and stretch-friendly construction.

How to measure torso length:

Use a soft measuring tape.

Starting at the top of one shoulder, measure down the front of your body, between your legs, and up your back to meet the starting point.

This full loop is your torso measurement (also called "girth" in many swim size charts).

Standard Torso Lengths:

Average torso: 58–60 inches

Long torso: 62 inches and above

Petite torso: 56 inches or below
