Can you disappoint another in order to be true to yourself? . . . With humility and grace, I’m here to share that I decided not to continue with my scuba diving certification. There are many factors that led to this decision (a negative experience with my instructor, my own triggers with diving itself, etc.) and even though I’m disappointed, I’m also proud of my decision. . . . To listen to my heart and gut, even if it was going to disappoint my partner (who was super psyched to be able to dive together) took a lot of courage. I’m so glad I let my own experience make this decision instead of my mental fear and hope this message inspires others to do the same. . . . It’s okay to try and fail or to try and quit. It’s the trying that really matters. May we all love the life we live...

Tonight I am conquering my fears and checking something off my bucket list: Scuba Diving!!! . . . I’ve gone back and forth for days about whether or not to take my Open Water Diving Course and I’ve finally decided to do it! I’m tired of letting my anxiety define me and my actions. Even though I’m scared, I’m going to do it anyways. . . . Wish me luck cause here I go!!

Literally in heaven... . . . #grateful #vacation #thailand #escapingwinter #yogi #liveyouryoga #lovethelifeyoulive #beachlife #beauty

We made it to Bangkok! . . Bangkok is so amazing and overwhelming at the same time. Watching the bikers weave through the insane traffic, so many cultures merging, such amazing street food and also so much air pollution. . . I’m so glad we’ve had two days to explore Bangkok and am excited to head south to the beaches tomorrow. Today we had an incredible food tour with @achefstour and ate soooo much delicious food! . . I could not be more grateful for this time off and can’t wait for what’s to come next.

Freedom!! Feeling lucky and ready for adventure... • I have my new labradorite necklace that @thegettinsgood handmade for me as a surprise, my sparkle shirt from @belovemovement’s birthday weekend and my partner and I are officially on the road!! • First stop: Arkansas for a quick visit with my family and to drop Nellie off with my folks. Next stop: Thailand! • Feeling super grateful for the opportunity (and privilege) to take this time off, travel, ground and heal. This has been a big year with lots of changes and letting go. I am looking forward to a chance to unplug, rest and reconnect with myself and my purpose in life. • May we all love the life we live...
