Yesterday was a bit of a bummer day; a nagging cold, with an almost empty box of DayQuil, didn’t help. Instead of starting the week with a Debbie Downer attitude, I decided I would spritz on my positive-thinking perfume today and remind myself of happy things that I am looking forward to this week.

– be grateful –

What are you looking forward to?

    I am so deeply grateful for the gorgeous weather, for a great job that I love, and for the fact that I am healthy and strong! I like your “bright side” thinking, Hill!

    Thanks for the quote! It is nice to know I’m not the only one who gets excited about the small things ahead in the week. I was so super stoked to run in my new shoes yesterday, especially having to wait because I was fighting a cold! I hope you had a good run in your new kicks!

    I’m looking forward to a haircut this week too! I always plan on changing it up a lot with a new color and style, but then I end up keeping it the same!

#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? ⁣⁣
