WHERE TIME slows
& STORY deepens

Lately, many of our conversations have been attuned to seeking a higher alignment. And to do this, we’ve established that we must have a positive relationship with our past selves. Although who we are in our past does not need to define who we are now or who we will be; it does have a […]

As we grow older and step into our adult shoes, we realize how much our younger selves may have failed to recognize. Smaller lessons have sat within larger ones; but specifically, we did not realize our power simply within ourselves. Our lives are made up of one big book. It is up to us to […]

The entrepreneurship journey is one of many emotions—a series of doubt mixed with excitement, fear coinciding with joy. It’s one all-consuming, ever-present thought process of “I can do this…Can I do this?” Which, coincidentally, is the mission statement of this brand. It’s only natural that the owner of a lifestyle brand preaching intentionality to you […]

Announcing: the La.Rue Creative Studio! Since launching La.Rue, I’ve been approached by friends, friends-of-friends, and strangers, to help them with their branding or designing their website. I can’t quite pinpoint why I’ve always said no to these people; it just wasn’t something I thought I wanted to pursue, and creative inclination doesn’t come easily or […]

The Law of Attraction abides by the concept that your external reality is a reflection of your internal. What determines your internal reality? Your thoughts. What you think about yourself, specifically when you’re dating, is what who you’re dating will think of you too. Dating has a laundry list of connotations connected to it–complicated, hard, […]

We’ve talked time and time again, both on the blog and the podcast, about following your gut, trusting in Divine Timing, all of the wonderful things that can lead us to wonderful decisions. But I feel like we’ve missed something: a blind leap of faith. You see, when we’re scared, we tend to wrap ourselves […]

The most empowering aspect of living intentionally is the love we maintain for ourselves. When you live intentionally, you are comfortable in your own skin, confident in your direction, and love the version of yourself that is now someone who is constantly evolving. Sounds appealing, right? I think we can all agree that this level […]

Write | Inspire | Dream Take a moment to think of how many times in your life you’ve offered up the “easy” answer of “I’m fine” to the question of “How are you doing?” You said, “I’m fine” because you felt it uncomfortable to expand on how you’re truly feeling. Maybe you thought that your […]

Write | Inspire | Dream Another year around the sun. It’s been a year of growth, learning, and expansion. I think people reflect on their birthdays in one of two ways. One: We feel a sense of accomplishment and excitement for the day and walk into it feeling like a new year of opportunity is […]

Write | Inspire | Dream Spirituality is met differently by everyone. For every person, this journey holds a different path and meaning in self-discovery and connection. For most of my adult life, I have considered myself agnostic. But, I have never really thought of myself in connection with the universe and divinity until I began […]

Write | Inspire | Dream In one year, my entire life has changed. Every aspect of who I was has grown into a stronger, happier, and more optimistic version of who I am today. Although I still face my challenges and hard days, my life has never felt brighter and on a more true path […]

Write | Inspire | Dream Last year, I hit my rock bottom; a personal destruction that rooted me so deeply into my depression and a sense of overwhelming failure. In one year, I had gone through so many emotional ups and downs that I couldn’t define a forward in my life. I felt so stuck […]

Write | Inspire | Dream On La.Rue, we’ve talked so much about the importance of having strong routines to inspire success in your life. Whether you’re developing your morning routine, evening routine, or a more specific routine like your gym or homework routine, all of these contribute to your success. Each of these routines promotes […]

Write | Inspire | Dream Spending your life without your sibling is like spending your life with a piece of you missing. For five years, a piece of my family has been gone. My only sibling, my brother Joshua, passed away on March 14th, 2016, in a motorcycle accident in Florida. Today on La.Rue, three […]

Write | Inspire | Dream Why is failure important in life? Some of the most difficult moments in our lives are defined by our failures. But, when we’re able to learn from failure and create success, we become empowered by our knowledge and drive to move forward and achieve. This is what my experiences from […]

Write | Inspire | Dream Despite the catastrophe that was 2020, a lot of amazing things did happen for me. A dream I’ve had since I was a freshman in college became my reality.
