Yelapa - fundraiser Three years ago, when I came to Puerto Vallarta on my first trip with Unity for Women, we found this hole-in-the-wall school/office supply store and dipped in. There was a man working that night, and his name was Lalo. Lalo was incredibly kind and helpful as we three women began to point to item after item to purchase for the students of the nearby village town of Yelapa. “Lápices?” “Sí! Queremos todo lo que tienen.” 👏 “Pencils?” “Yes! We’ll take all of them!” We basically cleaned them out of all the school supplies that night. And as Lalo rung up our total, I remember him getting teared up to see how much we were about to buy (I think it was around $300-400 USD worth). He told us that because of Covid, and with his mother being sick, he had been working non stop, and it had been really tough without the normal stream of tourists. We all felt how meaningful it was to be able to give to them through this project, and the tears flowed easily from all of us. He said that our sale was the biggest one they’d had all year, and that it would mean he could take a little bit of a break from work for the first time in a while. 😞 He was just oozing with gratitude and surprise. We took this picture together and all hugged, our hearts bursting. 💗 When we returned the next year, we asked the man in the store about our friend Lalo, and he said Lalo was his brother… but that he’d passed on that last year from health complications. He got choked up, as we all did… we reminisced about Lalo, through tears. We bought our supplies again, and left with hugs. This year, I called the store the week before we arrived to “warn” them we were on our way again so they could have some time to prepare for us lol 😂 When we showed up, we saw Beto again and his mom. The hugs, the reminisces about Lalo, the catching up on the year behind us… we now felt like old friends. Together, they helped us organize and purchase another big order for the students of Yelapa again. Lalo and Beto’s mom then sneaked an extra stuffed animal in our box… for the kids 🥹 Continued in the comments… (at Yelapa, Jalisco, Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnXj4Z9pqjf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s hard to believe we’re embarking on our 4th year (my 3rd) of the Unity for Women workshop week in Mexico! 🇲🇽 Each year, Nikki, D’ana and I help gather a unique blend of women to go-create a week of yoga, breathwork, bodywork services, ceremonies, intention setting, shedding, dancing, hiking, whale watching + more 👏 ✨ Every year, we find new stones to turn over, new inner discoveries to bring back home to bless our communities with. And every year is an adventure… 😂 Cheers to Yelapa 2023 with our ladies! We can’t wait to greet you tomorrow, and begin our sacred journey together! 👯‍♀️ (at Yelapa, Jalisco, Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnPENGrrE6t/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Round three… in the last week before I left to travel, I replaced three light fixtures, installed bathroom shelves, organized my garage, redecorated my room (still in process), and I’m sure I finished a couple other projects I just can’t remember now… 🤔 lol 😂 I genuinely enjoy doing these, and spend my free time daydreaming about what I’m going to work on when I get back home. 😍👏 (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjIko-_Lspi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Round two of end of summer shots— commemorating the end of a great camping trip with @movecreateradiate, soaking up time with my pup and @rachelfab’s sassy corgi, and one of many Before/After projects I hustled to finish before I left… (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjIcMtsDofM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m building my backlog from the summer, since I haven’t been good about posting stills. The weekend before I left for a month abroad, @movecreateradiate and I met in the middle of UT + CO to camp with our pups. And I couldn’t have asked for a better nature retreat before diving into the hustle of travel. I was also able to have some open space to process big shifts occurring for me personally, and begin to release patterns that are no longer serving me. Thank you for this serene weekend with you + Chai 🐶 , Mia! 👏 💕 (at Palisade, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjIa3zeDgo6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thank you @danabaptiste and Melissa Miller for this caption, and @ariel.peck for this incredible shot 📸 ••• There comes a day, somewhere in the middle of every woman’s life, when Mother Nature herself stands behind us and wraps her arms around our shoulders, whispering “It’s time.” “You have taken enough now. It’s time to stop growing up, stop growing older and start growing wiser and wilder. There are adventures still waiting on you and this time, you will enjoy them with the vision of wisdom and the companionship of hindsight, and you will really let go. It’s time to stop the madness of comparison and the ridicule of schedule and conformity and start experiencing the joys that a life, free of containment and guilt, can bring.” She will shake your shoulders gently and remind you that you’ve done your bit. You’ve given too much, cared too much, you’ve suffered too much. You’ve bought the book, as it were, and worn the t-shirt. Worse, you’ve worn the chains and carried the weight of a burden far too heavy for your shoulders. “It’s time” she will say. “Let it go, really let it go and feel the freedom of the fresh, clean spaces within you. Fill them with discovery, love and laughter. Fill yourself so full you will no longer fear what is ahead and instead you will greet each day with the excitement of a child.” She will remind you that if you choose to stop caring what other people think of you and instead care what you think of you, you will experience a new era of your life you never dreamed possible. ‘It’s time’ she will say… “to write the ending, or new beginning, of your own story.”~ - Donna Ashworth ••• (at Canyon Overlook Trail at Zion National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci7-u0FpDZC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One year ago today… I was cleaning out the Tinyhome after 2.5 years of magic, and hitting the road with (most of) my belongings in my RV, no idea what the future would hold. 🚐 I had no idea I was within two weeks of meeting my amazing dog, and had no idea I’d finish the year by purchasing my first home. Wow. Amazing what a year can do! 🤗 ✨ 🚐 🏡 🐕 (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg_LTcBgd-u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Since I opened my Airbnbs earlier this year, becoming a super host has been a goal of mine. And I *just* got the email that I achieved that goal! Not without help and support of course, too 😉 Cheers to the many more guests to come! 👏 #superhost #airbnb #airbnbhost (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfp27K3jCbg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Living slowly lately… steadily working, building a home I love, listening to my body and rebuilding trust in myself, taking deep breaths with nature, finding ways to laugh more (performing improv and working on my first stand up set 😹), and letting emotions roll through like storms at times… this is a new way of living for me, and I’m diggin it. 🧘‍♀️ ✨ 🍃 (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce1iuP8vLJd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
