in the moment.

January 9, 2012 by Hillary 3 Comments

Morning! Today I have a special Positive Monday post for you. I’ve asked Miss Katelyn to write a guest post – the very first guest post ever on the blog at that! – because this adorable, witty chick is full of sparkle + spunk, and I thought she’d do a beautiful job at kicking off the week.

* * *

Hi, friends! Nice to meet you! I blog over at Chef Katelyn, and I’m not sure what exactly I blog about. At this point, it’s just about everything from fashion and style to protein powder explosions and my best friend, the coffee maker. I’m glad to be posting for Hill today, as I love her. And hello. Isn’t she gorg? Today I’ll be talking about something very important to me. At first, I didn’t know what to write for Positive Monday, but I found inspiration in an unexpected place. Enjoy!

Faith.

Faith in others, faith in the intentions of those you trust, faith in yourself.

On Saturday, I traveled to Syracuse (a whoooole hour and a half — rough life) and watched the Syracuse Orange duke it out with Marquette, a basketball team that is good, but clearly not good enough to take out our loving Orange. Excuse the blatant love for my team, but sorry I’m not sorry. Spread the love, ya hear?

Watching the team play always seems to teach me something. On Saturday, the ‘Cuse boys often would get quite ahead, and then Marquette would step up their game, catch up, and then Syracuse would pull ahead once again. It was a constant cycle, and seeing the looks on their faces, I could feel their pain and their joy. It also doesn’t help that I’m a die-hard fan and can’t control my vocal reactions to just about everything that happens in the game.

Often, when the players would begin to give up or feel down on themselves after a bad play, they would immediately pick themselves right back up, stand up straight, and sprint for their life.

“Where’s the ball?” That’s all that matters.

Where are you right now? Live in that moment. Live it to the T. There’s no reason to lose hope when what you have right in front of you is there for the taking. It’s all yours. Don’t give up — what do you have to lose?

Find faith in yourself today. Live it. Take this moment and live it now — and have faith that you are able.

xoxo,

Katelyn

    Adorable and cute! I think we all [myself included] def need to live more in the minute rather than looking into the past and worrying about the future… Here’s to a motivated Monday!

      Something I’m working very hard on every day — and majorly helped by yoga!

#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? ⁣⁣
