Awhile back I took a poll in my stories asking what you’d like to see more of, and a lot of people voted for behind the scenes things.
This snapshot right here has been a big deal for me BTS lately.
After getting wrecked from for over two years, and then dealing with a pinched nerve last summer where I literally couldn’t use my legs… movement truly is medicine.
I got my first board some years back, but it was a surf skate board, much higher off the ground… not the best for a beginner. That board got taken over by algae outside the RV I was living in when I got sick, so with everything else going on I didn’t try to save it.
It wasn’t even until quarantine back in 2020 when I first attempted rollerblading, because when your hands are your job… you can’t afford those kind of hobbies lol. But last fall after my mobility started improving I knew I wanted to get a new longboard and try again.
I looked for months between Virginia and Florida on marketplace but I was so grateful to find this Klever from in Naples last month. It was definitely meant to be! 😇
I’m also happy I finally found a spot for all the stickers I’ve collected for awhile too. Many are from my roadtrip from Florida to Virginia last summer (miss u )… and with everything going on in the world right now, it’s a blessing to be able to take these memories with me (literally). Right now I’m working on building my capacity… For more.
More stewardship. More joy. More trust. More gratitude. More community. More flexibility. More pleasure. More curiosity. More growth. More love. More… life. 🤷🏻♀️
Another way I’m tending to my own garden when I’m not on the clock is finishing my certification with as I want to get out of my comfort zone and start offering workshops later this year (been a long time coming).
One part of the process that’s contributing to those shifts is . They’re a dedicated style of skate shoe. I switched to barefoot shoes almost 3 years ago (coming from someone who wore heels almost every day as a makeup artist) and they have truly become life. 🙏
I plan on using to paint these soon and I’m excited to share the process. I got a bunch of art supplies off of fb marketplace last summer while I was at my grandmother s and am finally making more time for better work-life balance… My work is highly clinical most days, so having a creative outlet for balance is really important to me.
When people ask me “so what do you like to do for fun?” It’s never tv shows or movies… but being able to create is basically always my answer. If I’m not studying or working out, I’m probably going to be on this board, dancing somewhere, or making art.
More of that this year too, please.
Thank you. 🙏
