So much of who we are is based around what we do, what occupation we hold. Although it’s often the conversation starter we turn to in social settings when meeting new people, I have to wonder if maybe it’s the one question that makes people feel the most unseen. I have to think maybe by asking people to define themselves by what they do, we are missing the entire person, entirely.
Who is Marah?
It is a new era for MarahCAR with exciting things on the horizon and in the same way, it is a new era for me personally. I am learning and growing and this post is my story of the last five years and why I no longer consider myself a “fashion blogger”. I hope you’ll take the time to read my story. Thank you for allowing me to share it.
The "Influencer" Generation
As Instagram engagement continues to plummet I've noticed the panic content creators are trying so hard to hide but are actually screaming from the rooftops. As our likes and comments and story views decrease, our inept desire to push and produce content that is well received and liked, increases.
Celebration and Mourning
This year has been a year of contrast. Of black and white, light and dark, of disappointment and expectation. It has been a year of lessons often learned the hard way and a year of growth and pain and grace all simultaneously happening at once…
"I'm Just In the Winter"
To be quite honest, I am not sure if this post will be helpful in terms of action steps to take when you're feeling this way. To be quite honest, I am still working through how to deal with this season myself. I think the point of sharing all of this is that I want others to know that if you're here, if this is your winter, eventually, you will bloom.
Heart for Atlanta
This isn't a hate blog on mission trips. It's just a love blog for my city. For what is right here in front of me that I have the capability to play a role in, to help make a change.
Fear Less
Whether you are religious or not, I hope that today, you truly grasp that life can be scary. It can be scary to fall in love for there is a risk of being hurt. It can be scary to start a new job for risk of failure. But today I hope you also realize that most all of us are unqualified, insecure, and a little bit scared.
The Art of Saying Yes
I think sometimes there is a fine-line between no and yes and in those moments, sometimes we need to push ourselves past the comfort of "no" and give "yes" a chance. It isn't always easy and might not always be a life-changing moment, but remember, there is extreme power in saying no, but there is also a beautiful possibility in saying yes.
Humble Beginnings
Hey friends, I have some news to share! Are you ready? I am no longer a bluegrass gal but officially a Georgia peach, more specifically, an Atlanta Georgia peach!!! That's right, I have left my small, close-knit town to become a tiny little speck on huge grid. Scary? Yes. Exciting? Yes. Stressful? Yes. But as scary and stressful as this decision may have been, (not to mention the actual move, shew!!), I knew it was something I needed to do. Something I had to do. And a part of me always knew it would happen.
