Happy New Year!
2017 is going to be FULL of life.
Now that things have slowed down a
little bit…
the holiday parties are over, the trust orders have no rush shipping,
I’ve come out of my sugar coma…
I am ready to welcome the new year!
January can be slow... business wise for
me. I love it because it comes after one of the busiest months of the year. (I wrote this, then got 3 huge orders that will be consuming my January before I leave...jinxed myself) If you own a business, I think it’s a perfect month to take a step back & separate yourself from your business. I usually take the month to get ready for upcoming travel, set
intentions, new goals & plans of actions. Along with that, do “adult”
things like phone calls, insurance hassels, paperwork, accountant meetings, organization aka get my shi* together.
I pulled out my 2016 goals & went
over them. I accomplished a lot of THINGS that I AM psyched about but…. after
recapping, I realized those THINGS weren’t what I got the most out of.
I’ll explain…
Yes, a lot of checks on the bucket
list.
I got my first beach apartment in
CA…making my dream of bi-coastal living happen. I went to Vegas with Trust,
participating in one of the biggest buying trade shows in the country. I got
Trust into a showroom in LA and hired someone. I made it the mountains more
times than I hoped to. I saw a lot of live music. I styled the photo shoots I
dreamed of styling. I road tripped cross country. I connected with people &
made friendships that will last forever. I camped in the middle of no where
Texas. I made it to the PNW. I upped my states traveled to 41. I got my handstand
in yoga. I bought a bison skull at a trading post on the side of the road in
Sedona. I partied at a commune on a cliff in Big Sur by accident. I saw SO many
shooting stars that night…I still can’t get over that.
For the REAL…
I started journaling & morning
meditation last January. I know the most common thing to say would be, "who has
time for that?" Whoever says that has to read, Miracle Morning. If theres something you really want
to do, you have to make time to do it or else you’ll live your whole life not
doing the things you want to do because you “didn't have time.”
No one has time, you make time.
Anyways, journaling & morning meditation
has become a habit and my morning routine is something I love (my hammock helps!) Make yourself a nook...a place that brings you inspiration to have a kick ass day.
You can’t say, you don’t take 5
minutes in the morning… to check your phone the minute you wake up…(btw awesome must-read article about this here...)
Have a phone-less morning...
Nextly…
(is that a word? it is in my language)
This year, I experienced the scariest thing in
my life. Out of it, I learned a lot. My
heart grew...I never knew how much love I had inside of me to give. I was
always told I was a selfless person & I do believe that to some extent but
everyone has some form of selfishness as they should…its healthy!
After this
experience, I did become a lot more selfless & a lot more present. I
learned how important the people I have in my life are & how much love is
around me.
I live a life I want & love. If you’re not, get to living!
I
have my health & my people...SO many special people. I have an overwhelming
amount of love & support and I am grateful for it everyday.
Material things are fun! (I love new shoes)
Experiences
& Travel fuels my soul.
But the unplanned things…can really teach you a
thing or two…you get hit with life & have to handle it. Your reaction to
it teaches you a lot about yourself.
My creative wheels have been spinning
for a couple months now. Now that life has slowed down a little bit, I can put my ideas
into action. I only have notebooks fillng up in every direction.
Stay tuned for some exciting new
ventures comin’ atcha!
Books I am Loving
You are a BADASS…if you haven’t read this
you’re missing out BIG time...I have read this book at least 3x & I think everyone needs to.
Miracle Morning…this was an off &
off read for me but I got some life changing habits out of it.
The Desire Map…currently working on
this.
A Short Guide To A Happy Life...this is one of my all time favorites...simple life!
What I’m Into These
Days
This made me LOL (at myself)
A month ago I would be saying…baking
sugar cookies, christmas breads, vino, holidays treats…all the things.
I think I actually overdosed on them.
NOW (like everyone else in the world)
I am detoxing like…
LESS Social Media…its overwhelming me. I rarely look at facebook...I don't have the app on my phone so sometimes its days to weeks. Yes, I'm very out of the loop when its comes to gossip but I don't care about most of it anyways...I like when my friends fill me in. I used to love instagram but NOW its even getting too much. I don't even know what I want to share anymore to be honest.
Being OUTSIDE...I LOVE being outside. Lately, I'm an icicle...I will admit. I make it a point to be outside everyday & it makes me a better person ; )
I'm planning one of my best friends weddings! MOH status over here...
I'm planning one of my best friends weddings! MOH status over here...
I’m into collagen lately…I put it in
my morning smoothie or beet juice. Preventing the aging before it comes ; )
I’m trying to UP my probiotics…healthy
gut=healthy life…all the kombucha.
I’ve always drank apple cidar vinagar
in my water (Bragg's only!) It helps with so many things...even better...a shot of Fire Cider.
TURMERIC…cooking with turmeric is my
new thing. Here's a golden milk recipe I love. It’s a miracle spice…check it & get on the Tumeric train.
(YUM to the top)
Where I am Going
Let the Wanderlust Begin…
South > West > Ocean
>Mountains
you'll see
So enough about me…just being so
selfless over here ; )
I want to most importantly, THANK
everyone who has supported me & Trust and continues to. Because of you, I
have my dream job. You guys make my world go ‘round. That is the TRUTH.
Happy New Year!
