I think I've kept this blog a little light over the years as to not try and offend people or probably I was just not really ready to fully put myself out there. This blog has always been about our adventures, mis-adventures and everything in-between and will continue to be so, but I think I'm ready to dive a little deeper or at least start by scratching at the surface a little harder.
Here's a start......probably for about the last 10 years I've been a HUGE believer in manifestation. I believe that if you put good thoughts, love and energy out there, good will come back in all shapes and forms. I'm not talking about unicorns, rainbows or glitter, but more like having gratitude for the good and the bad experiences in life, learning and growing from them. It took a few hard knocks in life and love to start figuring out who I really am and to just be happy and okay with that. Stella definitely helped that process along, as she is a huge reason I am where I am today. She has taught me more about the person I am and continually pushes me to do better. Another big step along the way was letting go of all that ick (ego, angst, hate, anxiety, want, anger and all other icky things), once I started that, things became easier, life still had its struggles but they didn't carry all that extra shit. Having my parents at my side, guiding me along the way and even sometimes standing behind me to kick my ass, for them I am eternally grateful. Then there are all the other people that have been in my life in one form or another. Some positive, some negative but all part of it (grateful). I am now in a place in my life where I'm try to focus on manifesting growth, learning, processing and just trying to do the best I can as a daughter, mother, step-mother, wife, friend and human being.
I also have to give a quick shout out to the guy next to me. He gets it (me) and I'm humbled daily by his kindness, generosity, spirituality, understanding, love, hard work, insane skiing skills, photo skills, and just in general awesomeness.
This is just a start....
Love and Gratitude!
