Life can be rough.
2022 was such a devastating year for me personally, yet such a fulfilling, and thrilling year for me professionally. It’s hard not the blur the lines of personal and professional when your heart is in everything that you create.
Last month, I was lucky enough to spend a few days with Stormy in Hawaii. It gave me time to reflect, to reconnect, and to push myself past self-imposed limits.
I hiked some of the most difficult terrain I’ve ever seen. Using tree roots to pull myself up vertical, muddy slopes, literally crawling to the top. It was so meaningful. It was so therapeutic.
Sunrise boat rides that reminded me of summers when I was a child, going to our favorite lake, and riding on the front with the splashes of the cool ocean on my face.
Catching a drone with my bare hands while standing in the ocean, crawling up the most epic landscapes, being within feet of wild turtles and seals, and honestly, just crying my heart out.
Sometimes life throws you obstacles/things you can’t control. It’s how you process and heal from them that is within your control. Here’s to healing from pain, and focusing on the future with all of the beauty of the world at my fingertips.
Sometimes you just need to push yourself to strengths you didn’t know you had.
A special thank you to one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Stormy, I can never express how much this trip meant to me. I’m forever grateful.
