Rain, Roots & [Sushi] Rolls

November 26, 2010 by Hillary 11 Comments

I really don’t know where the week went. It seems as though it was just yesterday that I was eating a much-anticipated sushi dinner with my dad. I can almost taste it still. Ohhh… maybe it’s because I had sushi for dinner with the parentals again as my last supper in town. I probably could have gone without dinner tonight – I woke up unfortunately full this a.m. – but after months sans sushi, I had to get my fix.

Sushi is so photogenic… when you have adequate light, that is.

My last full day at home:

I started my day by burning off a couple forkfuls of decadent chocolate pecan pie with 1 hour of DanceFit at my old dance studio. I followed it up with a mid-morning bowl of oatmeal. I have issues skipping meals even when I’m not that hungry =/ Then I had plans to go out to Redwood Roots Farm with my aunt and uncle to pick vegetables courtesy of their CSA membership. I remember my trip to the farm last year well – don’t you? It started to sprinkle just as we started picking, but that didn’t phase us seasoned Humboldtans. I came home a little damp, a little dirty, and very grateful for my brimming bucket of produce – leeks, lettuce, potatoes, and more.

The rest of my day consisted of studying for my physiology lab exam while drinking Candy Cane Lane tea and eating leftover pumpkin pie.

Then at 21 years young, I learned how to sew on a button using a needle and thread. Better late than never, right? Reason #693 why I am thankful for my mom.

As I lay here in my bed, surrounded by my cheery buttercup yellow-painted walls and the soothing sound of rain outside my windows, I find myself not nearly ready to leave home. I feel like I barely made a dent in all that I had hoped to do during my “break” – well, what’s new.

I’d love to stay forever and ever, but I have to tend to my responsibilities at school. I can only be thankful for what I was able to do.

I’ll leave tomorrow as I came – in the rain – with an appreciative heart and a belly a bit more full.

See ya from my stop in Sonoma…

Hill

    Two sushi posts in one week has me craving it something fierce!

    Somehow that sentence seems off to me. Aside from the fact that it isn’t grammatically correct, I probably used the phrase wrong. But those were the words that flew out of my fingers.

    I digress.

    That looks yummy! Safe travels back to school! The semester is almost over, so cheer up buttercup!

    I have the hardest time skipping meals when I’m not hungry too – I have this inner battle with myself “What if you DO get hungry and you CAN’T eat!?” :)

    Hey, Hillary!
    I bet leaving home is really the hardest thing.
    But, remember – it’s almost Christmas!

    I stayed at my mom’s house Wedn and Thur night to do Thanksgiving; it was so weird being in my old room… I felt like I was 12 all over again!

    Oh, I’m 30 and still don’t know how to use a needle and thread ;)

    I feel weird if I skip meals too. The only one I can get by skipping is lunch – and that’s only if I have a late breakfast and then either graze or have a snack.

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? ⁣⁣
