When the Baton is Passed Run
(Today is a most insightful, encouraging and brilliant friend’s birthday. It inspired me to go back and find one of her writings from March 22, 2015 and blog it out -with prior permission- to honor her and the beauty of who she is.

Seahawk Training Camp 2015 Thanks to friends Kristin and Chad Brown, who is interning as a linebacker’s coach for the Hawks, I had the opportunity to meet Ciara yesterday! Ciara is approachable, gracious, and engaging… Two things popped into mind after knowing she was hanging out by the DJ for about 45 minutes: fashion and faith. So that’s how I introduced myself.
