The countdown to shambhala is on. 33 days until we return to the place that encourages individuality, expression, love and freedom. Amongst a beautiful backdrop with beautiful friends, a place where genuine discovery is inevitable. It’s been a long road to travel, but with time and a little more wisdom I have realized that fear is the only thing that can hold you back. What is there to fear but fear itself? So dance, be wild, be yourself ❤️

Had an amazing weekend in the mountains. Although I missed Sasquatch, a festival I had been looking forward to seeing for over 3 years now, I refused to let my circumstances get me down. Instead, I spent a weekend with some really good friends, amidst a spectacular landscape and I chose to be thankful. If life went perfectly and according to plan, we wouldn’t ever grow and we certainly wouldn’t learn.

I did my fastest 5 k ever today! Finding the inner motivation to strap on those shoes and hit the pavement is sometimes a battle on it’s own. But afterwards, when you sit down, take a swig of water and look at what you just accomplished…that makes it worth it. Small runs, long ones..short or fast. Just throw on your tubes and remind yourself every day you’ll get a little bit stronger and a little bit better! We all got to start somewhere! Aiming for 6 k next week…. I feel good today and really proud of myself. Don’t let anyone discourage you and especially don’t compare yourself to others. Be the best you can be :)
