Feeling invigorated after a weekend of celebration, connection & collaboration at our annual board retreat ⚡️ We’ve grown & diversified, now let’s “beet the system!” • #slowfood Sometimes doing epic shit looks like moving to a new city and starting your own business. Sometimes it looks like scheduling yourself an indulgent spa day. Sometimes it’s changing the way things are [done]. Sometimes it’s simply showing up for others. • What are the ways epic shit unfolds in your life? • Shoutout to @epicureansandiego for keeping this piece of inspo up on the wall! OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR I’ve found myself dreading looking at 2019 in retrospect for many reasons but mainly because this year was so polarized, it’s difficult to talk about with any sense of cohesion or without sounding like I’m bragging or complaining. Much of my life has been this way. I only find balance by oscillating or vacillating between extremes, and this last decade has shown me how time & space are transformative and unyielding. In 2010, I was convinced reinstating Prohibition was a sound move and by 2020, I’ve sampled hundreds of wines and now thoroughly enjoy learning about the distillation of gin. I became the first in my family to attend university, almost flunked out my freshman year and ended my undergraduate career being recognized for my outstanding leadership & service. I teetered between anger, hurt, inspiration and motivation as I embarked on a mission for cultural exchange, equity, inclusion and justice. I lost and found love in immense and insubstantial ways and this year, met the man of my dreams. To the 🌙, KD. This year left me tired and defeated but more focused and aware than I’ve ever been. Even in my days as a competitive athlete, I never experienced physical challenge like I did in 2019, and the work I’ve put in to exploring and understanding new depths of spirituality are lessons I’ll carry with me throughout this life and beyond. I’m feeling somewhat apathetic towards setting intentions for the next decade or even 2020—I’ve still got some pretty good ones left from the last few years. Until I gain clarity around some carried over resolutions, I’ll be keeping it simple: Awakening. Uplifting. Healing. May whatever span of time feels significant to each of you be filled with health, abundance & happiness. Peace. #NoFilter Just ya gurl droppin in to remind y’all to keep your Halloween costumes appropriate by NOT APPROPRIATING another culture. Wanna dress slutty or bloody? Be my guest—I’d love to see it! But Culture is not a costume and if you’re feeling incapable of coming up with anything else, maybe you should stay in tonight and gather some ideas for next year! Stay spooky #HappyHalloween #MercuryRetrograde 🔮🕷🍂🕸💀🎃 Turns out leftover birthday cake also makes great ‘get well soon’ cake. A late thank you to those who helped celebrate my born day and another round of gratitude for those who have been checking in on me during my recovery. I appreciate y’all! 27 tastes sweet already On #WorldMentalHealthDay, I’m reflecting on Frida, one who endured mental illness both publicly and privately with a gift for channeling her depression into artwork that has stood the test of time. Mental illness looks like many things, it may look like nothing at all. But an unwillingness to acknowledge and address potential signs and symptoms or take into account risk factors in the lives of those around us helps no one. De-stigmatize mental health issues by being bold, bold in sharing how you really feel when someone asks how you’re doing, bold in having difficult conversations, bold in demanding we create and hold space for each other, so we can stop just “holding it together.” I believe on the other side of this is Life. Wedding number three was lovely as could be. Thanks @pdobyns & @kathleendobyns — for having us! #TBT 🦋👘 — 📷: @voodooeyefoto When you realize feeling like yourself really means accepting how you feel at any given moment and you show expectation the door
