July Update: What's Worth Wanting?

How are you? I hope your summer is going well. The last time we spoke, I shared a story about my roommate, Crystal and many of you responded with thoughtful messages in my inbox.

It means a lot. Every time you write a comment on someone’s Instagram post or leave a message in someone’s inbox, you never know how it might touch someone. I know it touches me ❤️

This summer, I’ve been writing my book, making mocktails, dating, spending time with Crystal and the pups, and even took a trip to Northern Idaho to visit my family last week. Now I’m preparing for the next round of Personal Brand Accelerator (enrollment opens next week!) with my right-hand, Sachiko. These last few weeks have been wonderful :)

I have to admit, ever since I got back from Idaho I’ve felt different. I sense something changing within me, this push for something new and unforeseen.

Maybe it’s the fact that I’m turning 28 next week or that I recently closed the chapter on a relationship I’ve been pursuing for the last 6 months. I’m also about to hit my 1-year mark of sobriety (I can’t believe it’s already been one year!) And I’m finally feeling confident in my skin for the first summer since I can remember.

With my 28th birthday approaching, I’ve been reflecting on how I want to spend this year and where I’d like to invest my time and energy. Something I’ve been thinking about is how it’s possible to get the things we want. The trick is, to want the right things. Because the wrong things come, too.

The question I’ve been asking myself is: What’s worth wanting? I have the power to choose. And are there desires I need to let go of that aren’t worth yearning for any longer?

Perhaps so. Self-awareness is my saving grace. I’m figuring it out as I go, just like the rest of us :)

Love and light,
