Today marks one full year of living in Maui. I’m not going to stand here and tell you it’s been easy. It hasn’t. But in between the growth and the pain and the uncertainty there have been plenty of beautiful moments, too. This is one of those times when … ift.tt/2msLKoI

We must become, in our lives, the things that we wish to experience in the world around us. #dothework #itstartswithin #selfhealers 📷: @ambervisionphoto ift.tt/2o4ReGW

When life is sweet, say thank you and celebrate. When life is bitter, say thank you and grow 🌿 // Shauna Niequist I don’t know about you, but I feel a new chapter beginning. And for once, I don’t give a fuck what happens. I’m not here to force anyth… ift.tt/31JUarn

Not being able to move my body the way I want to for the last several months (thanks to some persistent injuries) has given me a new opportunity to practice self-love and self-compassion. For starters, my body has changed in ways that I’m less than stok… ift.tt/30SjhqE

I haven’t felt compelled to share on here lately, and it has felt really really good to honor that. Life has been different in just about every way since October began, and I’m still getting settled and thinking about how I want to show up in this space.… ift.tt/2nZfU3P

I’m finally recognizing what true surrender looks like. Or rather, what true surrender FEELS like. I’m coming to grips with my deep-seated desire to control things that cannot be controlled, and I’m healing the fear that sits at the core of it. For the f… ift.tt/2W03TaT

“You have to break patterns to grow spiritually.” // Dr. Bruce Goldberg It’s funny how hearing a familiar concept worded in a new way can really change how it resonates. I’ve never thought of spiritual growth is such a simple way before, but I can feel … ift.tt/2NjNSZk

I choose here. I choose now. I choose me. The more present I am to this beautiful life, the more it gives back to me 💙 📷: @kristenfeliciafotografia ift.tt/2JAgqwx

I no longer believe that my “purpose” is some thing, OUT THERE, waiting for me to discover it. It’s not a job or an activity or a relationship. Instead I’m beginning to believe our only true “purpose” here on Earth is to live in love. To be so deeply con… ift.tt/2PI9eCF

Life has been pretty quiet lately, and I like it that way. I’m going deeper into myself, and withdrawing from that which doesn’t serve me. Drawing firmer boundaries. Making better choices. Every day evolving a little bit more. Loving myself a little more… ift.tt/34RwnGQ

This photo is a great example of how much can change in just a few months. And how things can look great on the outside while there’s actually a great internal struggle taking place. I’m not this person anymore. Or at least, I’m a much more honest versio… ift.tt/32Tx4OQ

Without likes on Instagram it’s suddenly SO obvious to me how unconsciously I used to scroll, double tapping anything that seemed remotely popular, even if I wasn’t actually captivated by the image (long enough to stop and REALLY look at it) or drawn in … ift.tt/2CQFKL3

Sometimes it takes falling back into an old version of yourself one last time to remind you, that’s not who you are anymore 💕 #sheddinglayers #keepevolving #selflove . 📷: Meigan Canfield (edit by me) ift.tt/37OfL5t

Give. Give freely. Without expectation. Without ulterior motive. Give your time. Give your energy. Give your undivided, loving attention. Give hugs. Give high fives. Give encouragement and congratulations. Give thanks. Give joy. Give genuine compliments… ift.tt/34Eyhet

I’m infinitely grateful for all the moon has taught me this year about energy cycles, shadow work, and embodying the divine feminine. She has taught me when to rest and when to take action, and how to trust, accept, and love every part of myself. I wear … ift.tt/34UnI6U

CONFESSION: The holidays are a strange time for me. In fact, they have been for a long time. They stopped holding the same meaning for me the first time my dad didn’t spend Christmas with us after my parents separated. I remember talking to my dad on the… ift.tt/38trerm
