Goodbye Bungalou! I’ll forever be grateful for our time together. 🏡💕🥰

It’s moving day! Gizmo has packed up all her stuff but I’m behind. Time for a big ☕️ and Lizzo 💪🏽 lets do this!

What are you working on? I feel very strongly that everyone should have personal projects to exercise their passions. Life obligations can take up a lot of energy and it can feel like there’s no time for anything else. ⠀
⠀
But if you can find something that energizes you, then you won’t feel like you are just giving all your good stuff away. It can help you feel replenished and rejuvenated. Best of all, you will have honored your own time. ⠀
⠀
Getting started can be difficult but I promise it’s worth it. If you need permission to start, I’m giving it to you. You are allowed to start, at any level, the thing you want to be doing. Just start! ⠀
⠀
I’ve said it before, but that thing that keeps you up at night, that you think about when you’re doing things you have to do, but don’t want to - do that thing whenever you can, even in little bits. ⠀
⠀
The time to do this is there if you look for it and with some consistent windows of effort, you’ll quickly see the progress and the benefit. Go forth and create. Then release it so we can see! ⠀
⠀
Then do it all over again. #createreleaserepeat

Most of my life, I’ve had places I’ve stayed or where I kept my things. This apartment, lovingly called The Bungalou, is the first place I’ve considered my home. ⠀
⠀
It was the first place I had all to myself. ⠀
The first place I felt I could really take up space. My space. I would hug it when I came home from travels. Really. I’ll hug it again after I post this post. ⠀
⠀
It’s not fancy or modern but it is warm and welcoming. I wanted a place for creativity and healing for those that needed it - not only myself but for those I care about. I’m sure my friends that stayed here would agree - this space was special. ⠀
⠀
I’ve thrived here. ⠀
I’ve cried here. ⠀
I’ve survived here. ⠀
I’ve come alive here. ⠀
⠀
And now it’s time to release it so someone else can hopefully make space for themselves.⠀
⠀
I’ve still got some time to transition but man, it’s gonna be a hard one. I’m confident this next abode will bring it’s own growth and adventure. The new place isn’t far and I know I’ll still pass by. But you better believe I’ll savor every last moment I have with The Bungalou. ⠀

If I were to do a podcast again, what do you think it should be about? What would you like me to cover?
I’m starting to feel like myself again and have been meditating on what my next creative output will be. For some reason, podcasts have been coming at me hard lately. As some of you know, I have produced and hosted many before but I’m feeling this time I need something more personal, more connected. My friend, @norealjewelry inspires me so much and incidentally is launching a podcast course very soon! If you are at all interested in that life, subscribe to her everything. You’ll thank me later. As for me, I’ve said it before, my goal is to stay open and not put too much pressure on it this round. I’m seeking alignment and flow for myself, in all things.

This photo is from 2016 ( I think) when I traveled to gorgeous Cambodia. Can’t wait to go back.

Breathe. Everything is going to be just fine. 😌

Last weekend of the decade! But always remember you don’t have to wait until a new year, new quarter, month, week, day to do what you KNOW you need to do. Start now. Start when you’re ready. But don’t let time be the constraint. Do the thing - on your terms - but be sure to do it because time won’t wait for you. Don’t wait for time to dictate your progress.

Baby’s first Christmas!!!!! I’m ridiculous.

Gizmo is getting fixed today. I’m a nervous wreck. I can’t imagine what she’s feeling. 😔Send stories and advice and treats.

Do you have any clothing subscriptions? This one was a fun surprise! @bootaybag_ sent me a sample of their monthly underwear subscription service. These baby blue undies are cute and comfy. They are even Gizmo approved! With this service you get something new each month without having to dig in bins at the mall. Check out their page for details! #bootaybag #bootaybabe
