We are almost three months in with Fourever Lane and let me tell you:

Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as getting in your own way. (Trust me, I am notorious for it.)

I love owning Fourever Lane with RT. It feels right but I still have days, or even just moments where I wonder, "What are we doing?" I mean our lives were completely turned upside down and I'd be lying if I said it doesn't (still) bother me. Because aside from losing LLR, I lost all of my friends. Or should I say I lost people who I thought were my friends. People who I thought were my family.

My girlfriend, Nicole is a boudoir photographer and her mission is to essentially make you feel like gold. Seriously! She reminds you of how strong, beautiful and powerful you are. She captures these incredible photos of you which instantly boost your confidence. 

NICOLE IS JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED.

After my boudoir session, I felt like I had broken my own limits and pushed my own boundaries because lets be honest I'm a sensitive prude. Ha!

But in all seriousness, while looking at these pictures, I saw myself in a new light. I was instantly accepting of myself and of my story. It was the first time in a long time, where I didn't instantly pick myself apart.

As I swiped through my gallery, I couldn't help but smile. I saw myself for who I was. Meagan Parker. Wife. Mom.  Badass business owner. A woman who wasn't going to let her past define her. And a woman who wasn't going to give up but rather get up! In these photos, I saw what I have known all along. I am ME.  I AM MP. That is my super power. These photos reminded me that I am in control. 

Big thank you to Nicole for these photos and even moreso for the reminder I've been needing.
