Confessions of Yours Truly

July 28, 2010 by Hillary 13 Comments

The days I don’t post are usually because I’ve spent that time dancing around my room half-dressed to teeny-bopper tunes on Grooveshark.

I can’t sing to save my life.

I am a small-town girl and always will be.

Poor grammar is sort of my #1 pet peeve.

I miss watching my brother play basketball.

I have never been on a roller coaster.

Sometimes I don’t know why I feel compelled to share all this.

I am tired of ‘coloring between the lines’.

I have a crush on Kent Boyd, like ever other 14-year-old girl in America.

I occasionally get sick of running… such was today.

I strongly dislike ‘doing abs’.

I am quiet, but not shy… and am not modest, by any means.

I don’t really eat my meals in our overly-photographed green grass.

I’m realizing there’s more to life than food… like blurry bar pictures with friends.

Two scrumptious, savory recipes + 1 sweet treat are up next…

Good night!

    I always love the confessions posts. Great stuff!

    I’m not shy, but can be quiet as well. And I can’t understand NOT going on a roller coaster. LOL I love them!

    These posts are good for the soul! Confession: Sometimes I wonder why I spend so much time worrying about the future when I should be so grateful for how wonderful things are for me in the present.

    I love posts that let you get to know the blogger better!

    Fuzzy bar pictures are part of a healthy balanced life ;) And I still sing and dance around my house to show tunes… despite being in my mid-20s and lacking any singing talent what-so-ever.

    I love roller coasters, but I’m so scared one is going to break down on me or kill me in the process that I rarely actually get on one.

    I never thought I was a perfectionist or competitive until I started running… then got hurt and couldn’t run.

    I’m always amazed when you guys make the most delicious looking meals on your blogs.

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? ⁣⁣
