What I wore in January! I’m sharing my Loves, my Challengers, and my Cute & Comfies!

When I got to the end of my photography career in the traditional way that I was running it, I didn’t know what I wanted, I just knew it wasn’t that (see previous post) and to be honest, I was a little naive in the process of transitioning out of that career into a new identity as educator, speaker, author, creative, and coach. After I went through the initial grieving process in the first year of being away from a career that fully sustained me financially, emotionally, creatively and dare I say, spiritually, I thought I’d have my shit figured out by then, but it turns out…that’s not the lesson I was to learn. Instead, I feel that for most people the lesson we learn in our later years is that BUILDING something takes longer than FOLLOWING something. When I drive through the mountains, I just imagine the first people who came and carved “roads” to travel on and how difficult and hard it must have been, and now road construction takes a season and we move on with our lives. Writing our life script is going to take longer than following someone else’s, but if we use the ACE Method it will give us the framework to start the process.

Life is wild, isn’t it? Like, I never could have predicted where I ended up yet here I am and it is quite amazing if I do say so myself. This life isn’t without it’s frustrations, insecurities, or difficulties because that’s what life is ~ but it’s just amazing that we can start out somewhere believing with 100% certainty that THIS will be “the thing”. THIS will be “the plan”. And it is…until it isn’t and you find yourself being bumped onto another path, finding yet another “thing” and another “plan”. I’ve come to realize, that unlike my husband who’s worked for the same company for 17 years that I am not destined for that kind of life. My life is a series of small evolutions and I am meant to follow my whims and pulls to whatever feels right. Collecting skills, tools, resources, people, and fun clothes along the way that I get to share with all of you. And at this particular new year, I find myself on a new path, excited to share what I’ve learned over the past decade.

I focus a lot on healing the inner child because the inner child is where the essence of our being lives. The parts of ourselves that I believe are pure magic, divine light, and here to do incredible work however those parts of us rarely get nurtured to the fullest extent simply because of the society we live in and how we as humans are constantly evolving (and quickly!). But in all the work to heal our YOUNGER selves, we tend to forget that our more recent younger selves also deserve the same love, attention, and compassion. So, in honor of the end of this year, I want to share a few ways that you can connect with a more recent, younger version of you so that you can move forward with knowledge, peace, and love in your heart for all the ways you show up. So, grab your journals and let’s get into it!

Before you get out your scissors and magazines to create your 2026 vision board, read this first!! We need to go back in order to propel forward!

How did I lose my girlhood? Well, it’s a long story, but I don’t think it’s that uncommon.

FROM THE ARCHIVES: I had my photos taken by Alex Charilou and at first…I didn’t like what I saw. But it had nothing to do with the photos.
