Hey there! My name is Avery, and I am the host of Lessons & Letters.

I am a firm believer that vulnerability is a gift. I side with positivity and believe that this world can benefit from any added optimism- big or small. And, it is never too late to hop on the personal growth train. Lastly, my life does not make sense without God in it- so we will be talking all things faith.
