I’m Here is the second installment of guest posts from my teammates. This month, we’re taking the time to write about the ladies we’ve been blessed to call sisters this year. Check out what my lovely and kind friend Valerie wrote about me.

“Meet my friend Ashley! Her number is considered the sweetheart of the enneagram and once you get to know her I’m sure you’ll agree. Ashley is the kind of person that will not let you accept you being anything less than what God has called you to. She has an uncanny knack for knowing a trillion random facts; like the square root of pie or how many centimeters are in an inch?! Who is she? Sometimes I wonder if she realizes she is the smartest person in the room.

Spending time with Ash is always a good time filled with hearty food, impromptu dance parties and endless dad jokes. Ashley is one of the bravest people I know and her willingness to keep pursuing her passions despite the setbacks she has had in life inspires me to never stop striving.

Ashley, I appreciate the way you challenge me, call me out in my most unfavorable moments and always remind me to communicate because people can’t read my thoughts.” -Valerie <3
