24 Things I Now Know

June 19, 2013 by Hillary 10 Comments

1. Keep calm and call your mom.

2. You don’t have to finish everything you start… this doesn’t mean you failed.

3. Thank your Dad for insisting a spare car key be affixed with duct tape underneath your vehicle.

4. Buy a couch made for afternoon naps.

5. Moms love you to the moon and back, despite whatever wild rocket ship you take them on.

6. A movie that doesn’t interest you is not always a waste of time; learn from it.

7. Eat local. It tastes better.

8. The Swede in me doesn’t do sun tans.

9. I prefer vegetables in my cake, skip the frosting.

10. The name Hillary seems it will always be a nickname magnet.

11. Say “I love you” more.

12. Ice cream: the simpler, the better.

13. Make messes — the clean up is that much more satisfying.

14. All traditions have an expiration date.

15. You don’t always have to run that extra mile.

16. Ask questions.

17. Scratches and scars are inevitable; embrace them.

18. Yoga and meditation are no hocus pocus.

19. Buy the overpriced shoes; you’re worth it.

20. Do not fret the future.

21. A chocolate chip binge won’t kill you.

22. Grandmas have you on their mind at all times.

23. Buy yourself fresh flowers.

24. Endings = beginnings.

Today is, in fact, my twenty fourth birthday. A casual day it’s been, filled with simple pleasures: an early {24-minute} sunrise run, iced coffee, fresh flowers, friendly phone calls, veggie sushi, and homemade vanilla bean ice cream.

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? ⁣⁣
