Why You Should Take a Wild Leap....

I'm on Instagram now: Saritagirl13

What if?

What if I got that big promotion?
What if I could change the world through art?
What if I wrote a book? What would be the story?
What if I meet the man of my dreams?


What if I lose my job?
What if I get sick?
What if I can’t pay my bills?
What if my lover no longer wants me?

What if started eating more green juice?
What if I took that dream vacation to Bali?
What if I launched my own business?

What if it fails?

What if it succeeds?

So what!

All my what ifs are only as powerful as my response to them….

What ifs can keep us trapped…they can also free us for a bigger purpose.

Stop living today as if your negative what ifs are your reality right now. So what if you lose your job, or your lover leaves, grieve and move forward. Don’t stay stuck.

Choose happy. Choose Adventure. Choose peace.

Live as if your wildest what if dreams are possible and create a plan. Start now. Dream it. Explore it. See how it feels on your skin.

What if tomorrow is the end? Will your life have more what if I had only….or what if I hadn’t…

Choose possibility.

Move forward.

You are your greatest adventure.

Soul-Care


Last week I moved out of my little art studio because I'm working so much at the non-profit youth development agency that I manage. Leadership is an intense career and I'm moving up the ladder, helping youth "find their spark."

My own spark has always been creative work - writing, making art and dreaming about travel. 

I also know myself well enough to know I need regular doses of art and time in the woods for soul-care,  so this weekend my sister and I took a road trip to the mountains and spent a day lounging by the lake, watching the clouds roll by, reading and painting.

Soul-care is vital to any woman thriving. I'm not always good at it. Especially over the past year...I lost my groove, but a weekend in the woods is always a good start. 

I'm ready to tackle the week, to kick it's butt. I'm about to conquer the week and thrive...soul-care for me means:
- yoga
- green smoothies
- writing
- painting
- some wild dancing 

Here's to conquering the week and thriving!
