It’s Perfectly Normal…

April 21, 2010 by Hillary 18 Comments

(1) …to eat waffles every Wednesday and never get tired of them.

019

Van’s Low-Fat Multigrain Waffles topped with 0% Greek [mixed with Honey-Agave Syrup], Organic Strawberries & Almonds

(2) …to consume an entire 16 oz. container of 0% Greek in 2 days. Say hey to protein!

011 (2)

(3) …that salty tears turned my smartphone’s screen into a sea of rainbows and now I must wait two days to replace my 1-month-old Blackberry. Lesson learned: don’t cry on the phone.

(4) …for it to be rainy, wildly windy weather on Wednesday and by Friday, 80* clear blue skies.

(5) …to pack green hummus to take to school:

  • 100% Whole Wheat Flatbread + Edamame Hummus, Tomatoes, Cucumber & Organic Greens
  • 1 Organic d’Anjou Pear + 1 Slice Sharp White Cheddar
  • 1/2 c. Kashi Honey Almond Flax Cereal + 4 Dried Apricots – yes, I stretched the granola bar idea a little far.

(6) …to eat a victory garden’s yield of vegetables for dinner:

More Organic Greens, Edamame, Avocado, Tomatoes, Yellow Bell, Light Feta, Raw Sunflower Seeds, Seasoned Rice Vinegar & Olive Oil + Fresh Pepper

Health in every bite!

Haha…who am I kidding, I am not normal! ; )

    I’m with you on the waffles! I have been eating the same bowl of oats every morning for the past month and I still wake up excited to eat it. Creature of habit, or scared of change? I prefer not to think too hard about that one.

    Also, the weather thing? Yeah. I’ve got that too. Welcome to Italy!

    Bummer that tears ruined your bberry. I am jealous that you’re getting nice weather for the weekend. Our outlook is the opposite – sunny for the week and then rain on Sat/Sun.

    (7) It is completely normal to have to wear your glasses all day because your eyes are too swollen from crying to put in contacts. (Plus, glasses help hide the swelling.)
    I hope you’re doing okay.

    You make me want waffles every Wednesday : ) &&& you make me want to eat a large colorful salad (which is incredible since I am not a huge fan of salads & I’m really picky about my vegetables!)

    I’ve really always wanted to try TJ’s Greek yogurt. Actually…all your meals look SO good. I don’t eat much cheese, but I have such a thing for white cheddar. It’s amazing with some raspberry or strawberry jam! Or probably any jam. And I’m jealous of your veggie-filled salad! It looks so colorful and refreshing.

    If that’s not normal than I’m a freak of nature right along with you! I fully support ALL of the above. Except the crying/ruined phone, that’s no fun :(
    I DO need to start eating more waffles. It’s clearly a MUST.

    I say we’re more normal. Hah. Seriously though, I say the same thing. But in all honestly when I walk through my dorm halls smelling ramen, popcorn, and Domino’s I can’t help but smile and be glad I am NOT a part of that eating style. I cannot imagine not being healthy!

#happynewyear
❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣

We want to hear from YOU: Who has been your supportive soul sister through the ups and downs of 2020? ⁣⁣
