15 years ago, the odds were stacked against us. In 15 years ago, the odds were stacked against us. In fact, they have been our entire marriage. But God... His grace is a real thing and it changes people. You’re looking at two of them! Celebrating 15 years of the impossible being possible today. From eloping in Las Vegas to a deployment to Iraq to our marriage falling apart to many dark years to an impossible prayer... and God slowly but clearly bringing us into the light and changing who we are—and continuing to change us. Raising an ebenezer today. Thus far the Lord has helped us. Listen to our whole story in episode 1 of the Cultivate Your Life podcast. 💛 A few of our favorite photos from these 15 years!
This is the month we’ve been looking forward to—the month we get to start our seeds, celebrate 15 years of marriage, and see the earth come alive once more! The camellias are blooming and we had our first daffodil this week—spring is coming! Read my recap of February and my March goals on the blog now - link in my profile. 🌷🌱🎉

Let’s cozy up in that reading nook for all of Ja Let’s cozy up in that reading nook for all of January, shall we? And the photo of the couple makes my heart do cartwheels! Making my 2021 vision board brought me back to our @SouthernWeddings days. We’d see a field or a flower or a garden pathway and create a whole story around it—bringing it to life in words and photographs. What a joy! I felt the same joy collecting these images to tell the story of where I want to focus this year. My 2021 vision board, small steps I’m taking in January, and favorite books we’re reading with the kids are on the blog today. 💛🌱📚Read now at LaraCasey.com/blog or the link in my profile.
It’s a NEW DAY! 🎉 Hello NEW YEAR! 🌟 But, m It’s a NEW DAY! 🎉 Hello NEW YEAR! 🌟 But, maybe you woke up this morning and one of these crossed your mind:
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“It’s January 1 and I’m already behind.”
“I don’t know what my goals are yet—I feel like it’s too late.”
“I haven’t followed through before, so why try?”
“I have to accomplish everything for the year right away or I’m a failure.”
“I have to make perfect progress.”
“I have to do MORE this year or I won’t be enough.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dear 2021 Selves, you do not have to do it all, or make perfect progress, or have your goals perfectly formed by January 1 (February 1 can be your January 1 if you want!), or start flawlessly, or do more, or get it all done now.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First of all,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
364.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Other.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Days.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who made up the rule that we have to have it all together on January 1 (or ever)? No one.
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you know what WILL work for you this year, though? Cultivating what matters, little by little, over time. No perfect starts or perfect progress required.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You know all those things you’ve always wanted to do? They all start with small (sometimes imperfect) steps. ✨ I’m cheering you on—today and every day! What small step are you taking today? I’ll answer below, too!
This year-like-no-other is coming to a close 🎉, This year-like-no-other is coming to a close 🎉, and I think we’re all ready! As we start turning the page on 2020, there’s something energizing about a new year ahead. It may not be perfect, or go just as planned (lesson of 2020), but it doesn’t have to. We’re here. We made it. We’ve grown. And we’re not going back!

Wow! I’m a bit at a loss for words. Today marks Wow! I’m a bit at a loss for words. Today marks 10 years of our annual Goal Setting Series together! 10 years! 🎉

Over the last 10 years, we’ve shared our fears, our hopes, our blunders, and our victories together. What a gift! I never imagined I’d be writing this series for so long—or how it would impact me personally.

This year's series is a little different and I'm kicking it off with 10 Things I Know For Sure from the last 10 years of goal setting—let's put number 6 on a bumper sticker, shall we?

We often say there's nothing magical about January 1. That's true. ✨Except for this year!✨ As we turn the page on 2020, I think there's something profound about choosing hope after the year we've had. I'm cheering you on as we both do the same!

And we got after it together today as we turned the page on 2020! 🎉 Being virtual didn’t stop us from changing the world together—starting with small intentional steps and decisions. Small things become great things over time! 🌱 So ready to take my own small steps alongside you in 2021!
