🌿 Easily distracted by plants 🌿

Shoutout to little me who wanted to spend hours outside with my little but shovel playing in the dirt and collecting cool rocks 🥰

Now Im surrounded by potted plants, really enjoy gardening, and have a bowl of cool rocks & crystals at my house 🌿

Finding joy as an adult is so often just doing the things I loved as a kid but in different formats and I’m here for it 😍

Officially have a new favorite dog beach 😍

📍Ocean Beach, San Diego CA

One of the biggest but also chillest dog beaches I’ve been to! Would definitely recommend if you are in the SD area

Big reminder that things take time!

It is crucial, especially when you have BIG dreams, to not become disheartened and give up when you don’t get immediate results

Things take time

📚It took me 5 years after HS to get my BA degree
🎓Before that, it took 14 years of schooling to graduate HS
🍼It takes kids 12-18 months to speak their first word
🤟It took me YEARS to be comfortable in my second language
🐶I’ve spent about three years working on training Daisy since I adopted her

….just to name a few

Things. Take. Time.

All the work, learning, time, consistency, and persistence that you put in WILL pay off. No question.

Does it always turn out exactly how I thought? No (and honestly it USUALLY doesn’t). But, it often turns out even better in a way that I hadn’t thought of yet.

But there is no way that I put the work in and stick it out and it doesn’t result in an achievement I’m proud of one way or another.

Don’t give up. Keep pushing forward and learning and pivot when you need to.

What if you put the work in and it turns out even better than you could have ever imagined? Because let’s be real- for the people who refuse to give up that’s what happens!

Remember why you started in the first place and keep going!

Waiting until everything is just right or 'feels right' doesn't work very well for me...

I can be way too anxious for that 🤦🏻‍♀️

Even if I get EXACTLY what I wanted, if I sit with it long enough I can find a reason why it isn't right

Even the things that I have worked for and celebrated, I was so nervous when I...

🎓started at a new college
💼accepted a promotion
👩🏻‍💻started working online
✈️booked solo (international) travel
🏡moved to new state or city

Even the smallest things can make me think "wait maybe I was wrong maybe this isn't for me??" Or...

"Maybe I don't deserve it"
"Maybe I don't have enough time"
"Maybe I'm not brave enough"
And so on....

For me, it's about finding the balance between listening to my gut and being will to say "F it, what's the worst that can happen!?" and just GOING FOR IT

Most of the time, the worst that can happen is that I could end up right back where I was or I get an interesting story out of it 🤷🏻‍♀️

A huge growth moment for me was realizing that I had to not allow my anxieties to hold me back from great opportunities or from things I REALLY wanted to do. Allowing myself to learn and make mistakes along the way rather than waiting until I felt perfectly ready has opened the door for a lot of fun stuff

Giving myself permission to feel a little silly or make mistakes is usually when the best parts of life end up happening unexpectedly anyways

So, stop waiting until you feel like it is the 'right time' because honestly, it probably never will be. There will always be something else that can hold you back, because that's life.

Pics from a group hike in Griffith Park that I really enjoyed, but thought about not going to because I didn't know anyone else there before going and got nervous 😂

Another national park checked off the list!

📍Channel Islands National Park
Stop in the Painted Caves (one of the largest sea caves in the world!) and then a hike on Santa Cruz Island & dip in the super clear water

Such a fun day with my brother exploring around and seeing so many cute animals including dolphins and the little island fox!

Daisy cosplaying as a baby polar bear at the old LA zoo bear enclosure 🐻‍❄️🧸🐻

THIS is the kind of stuff I want to do with my time and I’m so glad I’m creating a life where I have the time to adventure around more and more 🥰 love this little dog and watching her happily frolic around while exploring

You NEED people in your life that are further ahead than you

That have bigger dreams
That you can learn from
That can push you
That are 'out of your league'
That can show you what's possible
That can expand your thinking
That can expose you to new things

Things changed for me what I adopted the mentality that I wasn't interested in taking advice or criticism from people who don't have what I want AND THEN put myself in rooms with people who do

The people who would support me, teach me, push me, challenge me, encourage me, and expect more.

The people who had ACTUALLY done something that I wanted to do or learned something that I wanted to learn and were willing to share what they knew

People are always going to talk, but the important thing is being aware of whose advice or criticism you are internalizing and adopting - so spend your time and energy wisely

Get in rooms with people who inspire you and who you genuinely enjoy being around

You become a combination of the people you spend the most time with (ever catch yourself saying the same things or adopting mannerisms of your friends?), so be selective with who is in your circle and watch how incredibly your life can grow!
