Thom and I were living for these cold water swims. Somehow we were lucky enough to do the Lake Marian Track with no one else around except a lovely couple who took this photo and joined us on the walk down. Such a perfect day ☀️❄️

I sit here on the edge of 24 reflecting on what it has taught me, shown me and given me. What a transformational year. As I walk into this new year, this new age of 25, something feels different.
Perhaps I said this last year, and every year before, and I’ll say it again next.
But each year the growth and lessons that arise are somehow exactly what I need to carry on at that time. Even when I don’t always have trust in that.
This past year I’ve traveled a lot and I made it back to New Zealand. The grief that reveals itself when you choose a life outside of your hometown to follow your dreams and love is not a silent one. The drums of homesickness while creating a home elsewhere is real. The melody of nostalgia sometimes keeps me up at night. But I will not shut my ears, I will not turn it down. I will move with the pain. I will listen to the songs of my loved ones, on the good days and the bad ones.
For I know that without the music of life I could not enjoy each moment, I could not dance through it all.
This year I continue the journey in New Zealand while creating a life with my love. I find peace inside with the understanding that this place is where I’m supposed to be. Even when I doubt that. This doesn’t mean the pain of being away from Oklahoma & my family disappears, but I know what my heart needs right now. And this is it.
Another trip around the sun with a life that I feel proud of and are so grateful for the years before that have prepared me and guided me to right where I am now.
Enjoy your dance my friends, turn the music up.

Can you relate to the feeling when you walk into a

Can you relate to the feeling when you walk into a room and see a person who is so intimating?
At first my ego recognizes their light as arrogance and I use to begin to judge them suddenly in some way.
In a matter of seconds I create this whole narrative around this person before even hearing their voice or knowing their name.
My ego and mind are so quick to judge or put up walls that it’s hard to listen to what my heart has to say:
But one of my favorite lessons in this life that I still feel like I am constantly learning is that we are all one. Everyone is trying their best with the knowledge they have. Everyone has such a unique and personable life story that in many ways mirrors my life. We are all so connected. And this judgment that arises for them is really a reflection of judgment I have for myself. Everyone deserves love.
Almost always when I stop listening to my ego and tune into my heart, I meet this person with love and then come to find out they are the loveliest being with an incredible story.
I honor their light and release my judgment towards them for taking up space.
Cause damnit TAKE UP SPACE.
Be the loudest in the room. Be the one singing with a guitar when no one is listening. Or the only one on the dance floor. Laugh often and as loud as you can. Be the one with the biggest smile. Post whatever you want whenever you want.
Do what makes you feel like you. Shine so bright it makes people question their mind and connect so deeply with their own heart and light.
Because that’s where real change happens when we can be so confronted with our ego it makes us go deeper into compassion.

As I breathe, I feel the earth breathe.
As I connect myself to Mother Nature, Mother Nature connects right back to me.
All is working in perfect harmony at all times around us.
Take time to be still.
Take time to really listen.
See the beauty in the millions of ants in unison,
or the birds migrating from coast to coast.
The symphony of life being orchestrated by our Mother Earth.
There is so much to see.
See yourself as part of it all.
Not separate. Not superior.
But within it.
We must honor her. We must protect her, as she has always done so for us.

3:30am wake up call. 4:20am the journey begins up.

3:30am wake up call. 4:20am the journey begins up. 5:55am the orange full moon lighting our path sets behind the mountains. 6:52am we make it to the top. 7:43am the sun rises.
I feel like I am constantly living in the clouds with this life we have created.

If this and if that?
I remember trying to create my world out of lack.
The universe heard my hesitation in the vibration of my wishes and gently whispered back “no.”
When this and when that?
I have grown to design the reality in which I desire.
The energy of the world flows in my direction taking me higher.
Through depths of darkness my teachings have come,
I now realize I can no longer stay numb.
I must feel it all in order to experience it all.
This life so rare and precious
I unfold working hand and hand with the universe to bless us.

In less than 2 weeks Thom and I are taking the leap to move into a van to travel the South Island of Aotearoa!! I’m so excited for this new adventure and beyond grateful to get to travel with my bestfriend. Stayed tuned for all the adventures 🥂
