It does not matter how long your legs are, you can only take one step at a time.

Holy Santa Clause Shit • 🙏🏽🎅🏽💩 • It happened. I did it. • “Little Legs, Big Heart: A Memoir” has officially been submitted for publication. • #littlelegsbigheart #littlelegsbigthings #holysantaclauseshit

What lies ahead of you is never greater than the love, support and power behind you. Arianna, you’ve got this, sweet girl. We love you so much. #littlelegsbigheart #aristrong

Happy Magical Monday, beautiful people. This morning, I have a favor to ask of you. See this sweet girl? Her name is Ari and I met her and her amazing family about a year and a half ago here in Florida. At 6 years old, she has already been through A LOT. And now, the unthinkable has happened. Last week, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. At 2pm EST today she is going in for surgery to try and remove the tumor that is estimated to be a minimum of 10 hours. The risks are numerous and we can only hope for the best for this little warrior princess. Please, please, please hold Ari and her wonderful family in your hearts and prayers. She has a very long road ahead of her and every single good vibe, ounce of love and prayer sent her way will help. Thank you SO much. Wishing you a most beautiful day. All my love, K #littlelegsbigheart

Yesterday while I was doing the infamous ‘run into Target for a few select items and walk out with 5 unforeseen yet somehow necessary items’ I was silently applauding myself for rising up to the challenge and taking the stairs back down to my car. Bags in hand, I looked up to see a man who was climbing the stairs up to the store and blatantly staring at me. Sometimes it takes me a minute to realize why people stare. Initially I think, “Oh shit. I have something in my teeth.” Or, “My yoga leggings are probably on inside out, again.” Eventually it hits me and I remember, I’m different. Really, really different in the eyes of society. Some people are curious, some are ignorant and some are downright rude and obnoxious. As I continued my descent, I smiled at the gentleman and then he began to snicker. Bags in hand, I broke eye contact and ignored him. Two seconds later, still staring at me, he missed a step and landed in a full blown face plant on the stairs. I will be the first to tell you, people falling can be HILARIOUS. When I trip and fall, I almost always laugh with myself. When he fell, I just kept walking and didn’t pay him an ounce of attention. Obviously there was a little part of me giggling and thinking that he clearly brought that on himself. Here’s the thing... for people who choose to belittle me because of my stature or the way I look — I don’t ever wish malice on them. What goes around does indeed come around. I’ll continue to dive into the dollar bins at Target, snuggle all the dogs and be the obnoxious Patriots fan I was raised to be regardless of how people see me. #littlelegsbigheart

This time of year always tugs at my heart strings... for many reasons. A big one being Africa. Twice, I have traveled to Uganda for a ten days in December to volunteer, providing free medical care to people in remote villages. The red dirt, the people, the animals, the love. Until you’ve been and actually experienced it — my words are simply words. Take it from me, I have never known a people with such wide smiles, deep gratitude and sense of community than those I have met in Uganda. And don’t even get me started with the kids. Africa has been coming up for me a lot lately and I cannot wait to return to the beautiful country of Uganda sometime in the near future. “Judge not your beauty by the number of people who look at you, but by the number of people who smile at you.” -African Proverb #littlelegsbigheart #tbt #uganda #thehomeland #underafricanskies

Flying through the weekend like... Last year, for the #paleyfoundation 5k, I was on crutches. NOT THIS YEAR! Loved being able to finish the race alongside friends turned family. Especially grateful for this strong, loving woman right here and her amazing kiddos. #littlelegsbigheart #iamunlimbited #paleyinstitute
