Life is a canvas, and we are the artists. 🌟
At the , surrounded by the beauty of all this art I'm reminded of the incredible journey I'm on. Doing something I'm passionate about, investing in my dreams, and creating a life I love.

See, when you're invested in your passions and your future, every day feels like an exhibit of your own making.

The art of living is about pursuing what sets your soul on fire. It's about building a life that reflects your deepest desires and values.

Investing is playing a pivotal role in my journey. It allows me to embrace every moment, like this one at the museum.

Remember, it's not just about what's on the walls; it's about the masterpiece you're creating with every choice and every step.

So here's to following our passions, painting your canvas, and living a life that's truly a work of art.

Newsflash: Behind every highlight, there's a real, human story. The doubt, the struggle, and yes, the imposter syndrome. It's all part of the journey. But here's the thing – I've learned to use those moments of self-questioning as stepping stones to growth. I'm owning my path, and you can too.

This is a Megan appreciation post 🤍

Thank you for coming all the way to the most remote island chain in the world to spend time with us. It was an honor to show you around this beautiful island. I'm so grateful for the time we got to share together and all the memories.

Always remember, Bob Borealis!

🎰✨ From the bright lights to the pretend vows, Vegas gave us a taste of wedding fever! But the real magic happened a bit differently... Cheers to making memories and building a lifetime together! 🥂💕

To the incredible friend who celebrates my victories like they're her own and never lets competition come between us. Your friendship is a treasure I cherish every day. 🙌❤️ Thank you!

The goal is to die with memories, not dreams!

Met up with some fellow in Vegas (back in February). We explored the Hoover Dam and walked from Arizona to Nevada across one breathtaking bridge!

S/O to our incredible hosts Eric and Tera!

It's been a good long while since I've shared an update. So here it goes...

This photo is from December 17, 2022. It marks a time filled with hope and big dreams.
We were in the middle of the Experience - iykyk.

So many big ideas. Big next steps.

We were pumped after listening to for 3 days and meeting so many people following their passions.

We were gearing up to make some major moves...

But life had other plans and we spent the remainder of the winter in North Dakota with family - which was exactly where we wanted and needed to be.

A lot has happened since December 2022. And I finally feel like sharing it.

So stay tuned for lots of latergrams filled with travels, what I'm working on, plus how I'm living my best .🤍

Do you hear a little voice in your head? Does it seem like it's always telling you what you should be doing or what you're doing wrong? (Mine does).

Take note of what you are telling yourself. Make sure it's not one-sided in negativity.

It's okay to tell yourself nice things too-
* You did a great job on that presentation.
* Good job saying 'yes' when you were scared.
* Your hair looks awesome today.

What's something nice you say to yourself? I'm looking for a few new ideas for the post-its on my computer.

2.1.22 - A good day for a birthday.

Life really is all about perspective.

Reminder: Be kind to yourself. 🤍
The words you choose to say to yourself matter. They shape your world, reality, and perspective.

Can you feel the power?

The sunrise… powerful.
Put it behind a volcano.. double powerful. 🌋

The sunrise over Mauna Kea did not disappoint this morning. The waves crashing nearby made it even better.

It made me think about where I was..in my head.. just a few years ago. Completely unaware of the possibility that I could be living and working in Hawaii now.

That’s just it, it didn’t even seem possible. But it was.

All it really took was me on what I wanted, making it a priority, the willingness to do something new and scary and taking the steps necessary to make it happen.

I won’t say that I feel lucky waking up to this view.

I will say that I am extremely grateful that I decided what I wanted, stated it out loud, and made it happen.

Reach out if you want me to share how you can do the same. 🤍

You can be whoever you want to be. The choice is yours.

Any questions?

Being healthy is more than just what you eat and how much exercise you get. It goes deeper than that.

What you resist persists.

You have to deal with the underlying issues, only then can you truly be healthy.

“Sunset is so marvelous that even the sun itself watches it every day in the reflections of the infinite oceans!” - Mehmet Murat Ildan

It's a palm tree in the blue & orange sky kinda vibe 🧡💙🌴

Such a beautiful sunset, even Charlie wanted to take a look ➡️

Don't let anyone get between you and your vision of happiness.

Not even yourself.

Your path is uniquely yours. Trying to follow someone else's won't do you any good.

When you start to hear the fear you know you're headed in the right direction.

You have to face it. You have to push yourself to do the scary things anyway.

It's the only way you'll level up.

If you're a business owner who is ready to take it to the next level - I have the marketing skills to teach you and take you there.

Are you ready for it?

DM me. 🤍

I’m not meant for cold weather….
Give me sunshine all day long. ☀️

Getting back into the swing of things this week. How many days does it take you to unpack after a trip?

It’s taking me longer than usual because I don’t need most of the clothes I brought - time to put my jacket, jeans, and sleeves away.

This is The Farm. 🤍

It took 3 days to get here.
A cancelled flight. Drove all night. A blizzard and icey roads.

But it’s all worth it to step outside and not hear a sound.

I’m taking this time to hibernate, simplify, and get back to some basics:
🤍 Quality time with those I love
🤍 Good restful sleep
🤍 Home cooked meals
🤍 Focusing on one thing at a time

** Do not compare your life to someone else's highlight reel. **

This is something I find the need to remind myself more often than I'd like to admit.

Then I get overwhelmed with the thought of trying to be picture perfect all the time.

Then I get overwhelmed with the thought of trying to be picture-perfect all the time.

Then I decide I'm perfectly happy without all of that - just give me some comfy yoga pants and good conversation and I'm good. :)

The top 5 things bringing me joy right now:

1. Charlie - especially when he gallops across the road when the wind is blowing. (I'm pretty sure he is experiencing pure joy in that moment!)

2. Walks outside - one of the best parts of my day is feeling the sun on my face

3. Reading - the sense of accomplishment and having learned something new feels really good

4. Laughing - a good meme that makes me laugh out loud can make my whole day

5. Handstands - I've been practicing against the wall for a few months and I am definitely making progress

As Britney Spears says:
You want a hot body?
You want a Bugatti?
You want a Maserati?

You better work, b***h

You wanna live fancy?
Live in a big mansion?
Party in France?

You better work, B***H

It is not too late to make the rest of the year, the best of the year.

🤍 Decide what you want⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤍 Set a date to have it done⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤍 Write out what it will take to get you closer to that goal
🤍 Get up every day and EXECUTE 👏🏽

Ever wondered why positive people seem to have it all?

It has been scientifically proven that positive thinking helps with stress management and can even improve your health.

Here are a few ways you can put positive thinking into practice:

Change: I've never done it before.
➡️ I haven't done it yet!

Change: It's too complicated.
➡️ I'll tackle it from a different angle

Change: I don't have the resources.
➡️ What can I try that might work?

Change: I'm too lazy to get this done.
➡️ I didn't fit it into my current schedule but I can reprioritize.

Change: No one bothers to communicate with me. I'll see if I can open the channels of communication.

With practice you can become more of an optimist and eventually your self-talk will contain less self-criticism and more self-acceptance. (You might also find your less critical of the world around you.)

Taking my own advice and enjoying a day of dress shopping with my sister! 👰

Asking my dad to play his favorite song from high school… 🎶

He played: Take Your Time (Do It Right) - S.O.S. Band

(It sounds awesome on a stereo!)

What’s your favorite song from high school?

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act but a habit.” -Aristotle

The best way to get what you want is to work towards it. Commit to yourself that you'll move toward your goals for ten minutes a day.

If you don't succeed, re-commit and do it again.

Keep going until you do succeed.

It doesn't matter if your actions are small.
It doesn't matter whether your actions are “right”.
It doesn't matter if you make mistakes.
It doesn't matter if you fail along the way.
It doesn't matter if there are other “better” things you could have done.

All that matters is that you do something — that you start moving in the direction of your dreams.

The problem with striving for perfection is that it's an impossible goals to reach and maintain. Instead just be the best possible version of yourself. ✨

No one is perfect.
