I feel really lucky to be living in a mountain town where nature is so accessible.
I realized there hasn’t been one day where I haven’t said “oh that’s beautiful” in the last 2 months…
and that makes me pretty happy.

I remember sitting by Rio Chirripo in Costa Rica and having this moment.
I imagined myself as just one water particle in the river, floating along in the river, following the flow until I reached the ocean.
but then I asked myself, “What if I’m not separate from the whole? What if I am the river, not just a particle?”.
this thought has stuck with me since then and I find it so profound. I and the world are not separate. you and me are not separate.
we are one. 🦋
spending time in nature is so valuable, not only for our health, but for our souls. nature is the best teacher. go sit with her for a while and I promise you, she will teach you something new.

honest thoughts…
we have now been in Portugal for a little over a week now and it’s been an adjustment.
in Costa Rica, I felt my nervous system was regulated, my time barefoot in grass was most of my day, and the access to pure nature was right out my door.
now that we’ve been in a city, I have felt my nervous system “speed up” a bit. my breathing seems shallower, my jaw is tighter, and I feel just uptight.
it seems like such a challenge, to slow down & re-center when everything around you is busy and noisy, people rushing here and there.
I’m finding that taking big, deep, conscious breaths throughout the day helps. and making sure to get sunlight.
I’m learning. and integrating what I learned in Costa Rica to everyday life.
it’s not easy. but I’m taking it day by day.

reflecting on the 3 months we spent in Costa Rica. it was healing for the soul.
so healing that I felt a part of my soul come alive in ways I’ve never experienced, almost a rewilding of my spirit.
thankful for the Earth that holds us, teaches us, and guides us in this life. 🌿🌺✨🫶🏼🍄🌞

Around me the trees stir in their leaves and call out, “Stay awhile.” The light flows from their branches.
And they call again, “It’s simple,” they say, “and you too have come into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled with light, and to shine.”

Beauty doesn’t need to be seen for it to be considered beautiful.
Like a spider making its web, it doesn’t ask to be seen. And it doesn’t try to figure out how to make the most beautiful web.
It simply just does.
And it is beautiful in and of itself.
happy monday 🌞

a day at the office 🌿
when I sit down to work with views like this, I’m reminded of the 5 years I used to show up to a classroom, sit down at my desk, & wish I didn’t have to be in a building all day long.
now I’m in Costa Rica, listening to the sound of Rio Chirripo, watching colorful birds fly by, & filled with gratitude for the steps taken to get here.

surfing has always been something I’ve wanted to try, and being here in Costa Rica has been the perfect time to give it a go.
the feeling of being out there in the water, feeling the pull and push of the tide, and the occasional water up the nose has made me feel so alive and connected to nature.
a couple of days ago, I caught my first 3 footer and rode the face. I had goosebumps, happy tears, and an overwhelming sense of being in sync with nature. a feeling I will never forget.
the few times I’ve surfed this trip, I’ve learned that you have to leave the ego behind, stay present in the moment, & just have fun.
feeling super thankful. 🌀🤍✨

starting this Wednesday with sun on my face and salt in my hair. 🌊


Spring of 2021: this was the last picture we took of us in our home.
when I see this picture, I have a hard time believing this was “our life”.
steady careers, a 4 bedroom home, suburban neighborhood, & a path that seemed “figured out”.
but in the inner core of our beings, there was a stirring. a curiosity of, “What if there’s actually more to life than having a big home and careers?”
we had to make a decision. to stay on the path of a settled life or listen to that inner voice guiding us to a path that was unknown.
I’m really proud of the two people in this photo… for being brave and making decisions with conviction.
take some time today to look back and appreciate where you came from.

One thing I’m learning is that the more I strain for focus or ideas, the more disconnected I feel.
When I pause, recenter, go outside and let myself just be, something shifts. I begin to notice what’s already before me. And it feels the most natural and true. 🌿🌺🫶🏼


I really love this flower. 🌺🌿

personally, I can’t stand how this balcony is constructed. no clear view of the sun and sunset….
but my little buddy makes it a bit better. 🧡

Happy New Year ✨🌺🩵
in a world that is constantly looking ahead at the next thing, accomplishing new goals, buying more things, checking off more places on our travel list….
step into the New Year believing that what you have is already enough and who you are is enough.
take time to see the beauty around you. break the cycle of just rushing the present to look into the future.
luckily, learning more about Bitcoin this past year has shown me all of this is possible. to lower my time preference, focus on the present, and be intentional with every aspect of life.
cheers to living in the present, living more in alignment with my true self, and loving others along the way. 🫶🏼
Look with wonder at which is before you. I meet what is before me with wonder, not resistance.

morning cacao is yumminess for the heart, mind, & soul. ✨🫶🏼🌺
