Beginning weekly gratitude dumps for us all to share wins, precious moments, appreciations and the funny ways life twists, turns and changes on us so quickly. - 4 days back deep into van life. Drove 12hrs, grateful for a reliable home on wheels and the beauty around every corner of NZ. (First few pics below) - For finding friends on hikes as I wander and being welcomed into strangers lives. - For getting to celebrate @Cassidy White beginning her new beginning travel nursing in Australia! Proud of her expanding her life so boldly. - @Brendan OCallaghan for being a rock solid new friend the last 2ish months. Having a brother to share things we are truly working through and being a frontline supporter on all things. And taking on gratitude journalling and already reaping the many serene benefits of it! - Getting to wake up to the rest of you making such a beautiful supportive and inviting environment here. It’s also been so good on my mind to leave other socials behind and solely nurture this. Sooo much less brain fog and time wasted doomscrolling. - Grateful for cute animals and kind people. - For experiencing high and low-tides of the ocean .. feels like the earth is breathing and beaming with life here. - For a healthy body that can do ridiculous hikes and heal (reasonably) quickly. - For neighbours that invite me on the sea and give me a top notch first overnight sea fishing trip, despite being sea sick 20hrs straight 😆 #sayyestotheadventure! How about you guys? Photos for extra cool credits

I felt stuck for a very long time in my art practice, relationships, and my personal growth. I saw my counselor last night and in that session I realized all my bad habits of watching porn, doom scrolling, over eating, and caffeine drinking was a sign that I was exhausted mentally. I did something I’ve never done before, I went for a walk by myself… around the neighborhood. No dog, no music, no podcast. I let my mind wonder. That craziest thing happened, my brain in the 30 minute walk started to go in a slow motion as it proceeded the surroundings. It made me realize I was going so fast in my life, consuming things fast, doing things fast that I forgot the world outside my phone and mind was so slow. I got home and passed out. Something so simple blew my mind (in a good way) I wanted to share this experience with you guys because I know you will get it! Last night was a break through for me! I am excited to explore Vancouver tomorrow and just wonder around! I hope this helps or provides some insight 🤗

I remember pride the day I donated a shelf full of Xbox games and filled all 4 shelves with books (read) by age 21. I never thought the most rich I’d feel is while maxing out minimalism. I used to have pride in the whole ‘lone-wolf’ take on life. Now I emphasize connection and networking as one of the most important and essential life skills. What about you??

I’m quite proud to say that it’s been three weeks of writing in my gratitude journal! It was really something easy to take on because it made me feel good at the end of the day reflecting on the positive! In the past, when I went through a break up, I would spiral down a lot in self pitty. I truly believe that gratitude through, this recent break up, has helped me get perspective on life and grounded me in reality not some fictitious pool of misery. There are great things out there, but if our brain is focusing on the negative all the time it will spot the negative more. Gratitude journaling provides a shift in perspective to see all the good things that happen in a single day (because good things do happen). How is your gratitude journal journey going?

Hey everyone, I totally forgot to pin my work here. Here is one of my recent art pieces! If you want to check out more of my work I’m posting on Instagram which is linked in my Skool profile!!
