If you know me, you know that soccer is a sport I L⚽VE and respect. Growing up in a home where soccer was life solidified my passion for the game. Between the four of us, someone always had practice and/or a game; I grew to enjoy watching my brothers play and admired my dad's coaching ability. When my mom wasn't caravanning us around, she was on the sideline teaching the rules of the game to parents who didn't understand. To this day, soccer still brings my family together. We are forever fans: RSL, URFC, USWNT, USMNT- I love it. This photo collage depicts my favorite USWNT player. Carli Lloyd is the kind of player who doesn't brag, stays humble, always thanks the refs and talks with the opposing team after each match. She works hard and plays hard. She doesn't invite politics into the game. I'm overjoyed that we walked away with another star and another World Cup; however, watching Carli Lloyd sit on the bench for most of the tournament was disheartening. And to be honest, I don't appreciate the politics that were brought into the game by another player(s). Fighting for equal pay is one thing. Boycotting the White House and POTUS should have never been an issue. I will continue to support women's soccer and have significant respect for the players who play for the right reason. I just hope that players like Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy, and Carli Lloyd are still out there.

i carry your heart with me ( i carry it in my heart ) ... here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart) e. e. cummings · My Mia- how I wish I could smother you with kisses once again. You've been gone for three years. I still ache for you but find peace in knowing you are pain free. And, your brother loves me unconditionally just as you do. I hold you close till we meet again.

I love this sweet girl! She stays with us when my brother's family needs a dog sitter. My parents and I enjoy having her around. And Beckerman? He will never admit it but he adores her! Carmel is family. She was gentle with Mia, especially when Mia fell ill and she braved Beckerman's energetic puppy years. Her tenderness towards Mia and her tolerance towards Beckerman have solidified the deep, profound love I have for her. I ❤ y0u, sweet Carmel! #kissingcousins #carmeleon #carmellaanthony

Happy Independence Day! I am grateful for the freedom I've had my entire life but am aware that there are many who have never felt the safety and security that comes with freedom. The incredible Eleanor Roosevelt once said, " ... equality [is]not only for Americans but for all people on earth ..." Her beliefs regarding freedom and equality and her love for our country and the foundation on which it was built is something this country stands in need of today. If the leaders of our country had her tenacity and love for America, great changes would take place; I think we can all agree that changes need to be made!

Am I nervous about the match vs France? Yes. Do I doubt the USA? No. So why am I nervous? 1. The last time we played France, we lost. 2. They have an entire country cheering them on. Home advantage, if you will. 3. We have a phenomenal offense. Our back line isn't completely secure. And, despite the fact that I don't love Hope Solo's personal baggage, none of our current keepers match her talent. Less than 15 hours to the whistle blows ... #oosa

Happy Birthday to my Grandma Bailey! She just might be the easiest person to love, especially when you see how easy it is for her to love others without condition. I am truly grateful to have her in my life! I know that the time will come when she will leave us and join her sweetheart. (Oh how I wish I could have a glimpse of that tender reunion.) Until then, I'll continue to love how her face lights up and her eyes sparkle when she giggles. I'll smile when I see her smile and I will continue to treasure how special I feel each time her soft hands hold mine as we sit together and talk. #94
