Today I have 6 years clean, sober and in recovery.

This isn’t only my achievement to celebrate,
It’s OURS.

If I know you,
&
You know me….
You helped make this happen.

If you are in my life,
In whatever way….
I am grateful to you.

Because I needed every loving nudge,
All the gentle and not so gentle encouragement,
The constant prodding,
And every firm push…

That came from the people in my life to make it to this place….
To make it to 6 years clean.

Thank you.🙏🏼

And here’s to 6 more!!

Rebirthday/clean date: March 7th, 2019

Josh and I are celebrating in the best way we can…. Vegas! We’re catching a hockey game tonight, Deftones concert tomorrow, sky diving on Sunday and then heading back home to welcome spring !

With this constant feeling of dread and impending doom….
I find I need to mindfully, intentionally carve out time to savor healing, positive, happy, empowering adventures.

Josh and I are taking a quick trip down to Vegas this weekend to catch an NHL game, see Deftones and go sky diving again….. what is this life?

How to live and still hold the reality of our world right now?

I don’t know,
I just do what I do.

It’s the little things that give me peace like waking up and drinking my first cup of coffee while cuddling Puah and reading.

It’s a little slice of ease and perfection that I get to start my day with- and I know how lucky I am.

My 6 year re-birthday will come and go while we are in Vegas. 💚🖤

Note: Re-reading The Handmaid’s Tale probably isn’t … super great for my mental health but it also feel necessary. And it was this month’s choice for one of my book clubs so…🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s not that I’m sad to go back home, or back to regular life….
It’s that I’m sad to leave this place.

Puerto Rico is a sweet, special place.

Our epic, wonderful, mind blowing adventure vacation is coming to an end in the next couple of days.

Here’s some pics of recent adventure! Yesterday we hiked up to Cascada Charco Prieto.

You know that thing you’ve wanted to do but just haven’t gotten around to?

That place you’ve wanted to go?

That vacation you’ve wanted to take?

Decide today that you ARE doing it, you ARE going…

Commit to yourself,
In your mind.
Heart.
Soul.

If you are financially capable…. Buy the ticket NOW.

Force yourself into action.

There will ALWAYS be a reason NOT to do something,
There will ALWAYS be a barrier.
Later will ALWAYS be the best time in your mind….

And then later never comes and you’re left with regret…

Shoulda,
Coulda,
Woulda…..

This trip has shown me that I’ll always be grateful to myself when I take action,
And that I never needed to wait even half as long as I thought I did to do THE THING, or go to THE PLACE.

We went for an awesome and beautiful hike yesterday, today went swimming in a waterfall and just landed on an island with wild horses ….

There are so many things in life I have wanted to do for such a long time and I always said “Later” or “I’ll do that when…” or “When I have more money.”

The truth is I had the money and was just spending it on other things…. And over time as addiction progresses it chains you not only to your substances but to your life as it is.

It took me years into my recovery to go really let myself do the things I dreamed of because I still felt chained.

I hope today finds you happy , healthy and safe.

Side note: Also all the houseplants I try so hard to grow in my house in frigid Alaska are growing wild and giant here and I can’t stop gawking at how LUSH the greenery is.

The feeling of FINALLY experiencing something that you’ve wanted your whole life is unlike any other feeling.

It’s a mix of … WHY THE F**K DID I WAIT SO LONG?!
And
I’M SO F**KING GLAD I WAITED UNTIL THIS TIME IN MY LIFE!

It’s been almost 5 days and my heart and soul are already so full and I’m feeling expansive.

Yesterday we jumped out of an airplane, dove through the clouds, and landed on the beach.

It was a perfect day, and I’ve never felt anything anywhere close to what I felt leading up to the jump, the moment right before the jump, during the jump, flying through the air and that moment of landing on the beautiful, soft beach.

And then there was the crazy (amazing) pilot that blew my mind with his flying. Epic.

Experiencing all this with my person makes it even better and I feel like my heart is exploding.

We are leaving San Juan and heading out to El Yunque National Forest for some hiking and rainforest adventures!

Life is a dream.

One of my dreams came true today …

We went snorkeling and saw MANATEES!!!!!

No pictures. Some things just can’t be captured.

Puerto Rico is a VIBE.

Tomorrow is SKY DIVING

Then hiking in a rainforest….

Tonight we are having dinner in the sky ….

Adventure and risk are two of my core values.
Before I got clean I thought that living and recovery made adventure and risk impossible…I assumed I had to give both of those core values up and be a square.

I was wrong.

I stay connected with healthy risk and adventure all the time.

We’ve only been here almost 2 full days and I can feel that something has shifted. It’s like some parts of me are only available when I’m fully connected with my true core values.

Anyhow now I’m going to take a delicious midday nap and enjoy every second of it because REST IS BEST !

What’s one action that you can take daily to get you closer to where you want to be?

Thats the question I’m starting each day with….
Some days the answer is meditate for 10 minutes,
Some days its hit snooze and sleep for a half an hour longer,
And other days it’s working out for 2 hours….

Every day my goal is the same but the steps I need to take to reach that goal … can be different.

So…. What’s one action that you can take daily to get you closer to where you want to be?

9 Days to Puerto Rico!!!!
