It’s hard to put into words exactly how much this last trip meant to me, not only because I got to share it with the man that I love, but we shared that time with our creators, our mothers. I’ve always had a deep sense of family connection and love that when it comes to travel my mother simply never says no. I now have two Moms the one who made me and the one who chooses to love me. I cannot express how grateful it is to be in this moment. Life was hard for a few years after my Dad passed away. I was so lost and then like some small miracle I’d been found by the people I needed the most.

Today you have permission to lift your gaze above the day-to-day and imagine what could be. 🌠 It’s easy to get so caught up in to-do lists and obligations that we forget the part of us that dreams — the one who believes in possibility, who can feel what’s waiting beyond what’s visible right now. Today, we pause to listen to that voice and let it speak freely. 💛 Option A: Write down 3 things you’d love to experience in the next year. Let yourself dream without limits. Don’t think about how it will happen — just capture what excites your soul. A trip, a feeling, a new habit, a personal milestone — write them all down as invitations to the Universe. 💫 Option B: Make a mini vision board. Open Canva, Pinterest, or a stack of old magazines and gather images that feel like your future. Don’t worry about perfection — this is play, not planning. Let it be colorful, emotional, and wildly you. 🌿 Option C: Share one dream with someone who inspires you. Say it out loud to a friend, mentor, or partner — not for validation, but for energy. Speaking dreams gives them life. You might just spark something in them, too. Your dreams are roadmaps from your soul — quiet whispers of what you’re meant to explore. So dream boldly, freely, and unapologetically today. The first step toward becoming is daring to imagine. 💫

Love exploring travel. I help people turn travel into income with photography and video. Just got back from Tokyo. Here is a little video clip I shot there.

Wednesday seemed like a good day for a Permission Skip✨ Today you have permission to pause, look back, and actually see yourself — not for what still needs to be done, but for how far you’ve already come. So often we skip the part where we honor our own growth. We race from one milestone to the next, forgetting that celebration is fuel for the journey — not a distraction from it. Today is your reminder that you are worthy of acknowledgment, applause, and joy right now, not “someday.” 💛 Option A: Write down 3 things you’re proud of today. They don’t have to be big or dramatic — maybe you got out of bed when you didn’t want to, showed kindness when you could’ve shut down, or simply kept going. Let your list reflect who you’re becoming, not just what you’ve done. 💫 Option B: Share a win in the group. It could be something internal, like feeling more peaceful, or something external, like finishing a project or having a hard conversation. Let us celebrate you — because your courage gives others permission to shine, too. 🌿 Option C: Do a small celebration ritual. Play your favorite song and dance in your kitchen. Light a candle. Make a toast to yourself. Say out loud, “I’m proud of me.” Mark this moment — because you deserve to be witnessed in your becoming. You don’t need a reason to celebrate — being alive, trying again, and showing up as yourself is reason enough. So raise your glass, your heart, or your energy… and celebrate you. 🥂✨

Today you have permission to soften, to open your palms, and allow life to give back to you. Option A: Accept help if it’s offered. Whether someone offers to carry something, buy you coffee, or simply listen — say yes. Let it remind you that receiving is an act of trust, not weakness. Option B: Let someone’s compliment land without deflecting. Instead of brushing it off, pause. Breathe it in. Smile and say, “Thank you.” You deserve to be seen. Option C: Treat yourself to something that feels nourishing. Maybe it’s a long shower, a cozy nap, your favorite snack, or a few quiet minutes outside. Give yourself what you usually withhold. Today, you receive — fully and freely.
