The art of Manifestation.

 Hey dudes and dudettes

so, out in Colorado, while working at my sister's farmers market produce stand I was introduced to the owner of Eagle River Whiskey. I showed him my cinematography work and he loved it, so he hired me to make him a video of his products. THEN, another man came to the produce stand asking about who had made that video and if they could make his son a film of his wallpaper business. So of course I gave him my best pitch and I was hired! the next day I spent some time behind the scenes capturing the art of wallpapering and compiled a unique video to capture all the magic. Because of that video, I've been hired for another job out in Vail! so exciting the way manifestation works... I would've never gotten these opportunities if it wasn't for my spontaneous trip out to Colorado.

    After getting off the Amtrack in SLC, I decided to pack up my blue Honda Element and take her down to Moab. Originally the plan was to go for a day or two to indian creek and climb some cracks but I thought...hmmmmm I have all this spare time I could pack to be there for the rest of the month. So that I did and boy oh boy some magic definitely happened. My vision board from the beginning of the year became my reality. I made some really genuine friendships out in the creek with some fellow climbers. after a couple days of being a desert rat, camping under the stars, and floating rivers I met up with some buddies from Instagram. They invited me to come along on a rope swing and base jumping sesh.

I kid you not, the feeling of meeting up with a bunch of cool ass strangers in the middle of BFE to throw myself off a cliff edge was THEY MOST EXILERATINGLY freeing experience I have yet to obtain in my short 20 years living on this floating rock. There was so much laughter, a sense of family, juggling, snacks, and learning about rope systems. This was my version of heaven on earth. I will forever be grateful for this step in my journey. This is why I document what I do. This is exactly why I write blog posts. I want to share with the world how much magic happens when you sit back and trust yourself. The universe has your back... and one day you'll realize you are in fact the universe. I promise to be as authentic as I can while sharing my journey with you reader. I pinky promise.

Shortly after the rope swing, I had to head back to SLC to babysit some cute kiddos and reset my car setup for my long journey ahead. I have another Amtrack ticket from Greenriver UT to Glenwood Springs CO on Monday morning at 7:30 am. It's a one-way ticket because I just keep getting opportunity after opportunity for cinematography work out there. Once I'm finished I'll be heading back to Green River to pick up my car and trek on down to Moab where I'm sure I'll make more core memories and strengthen new friendships. Wow... and to think that at one point in life, I felt so stuck and hopeless... little did I know, everything I've ever dreamed of experiencing and having was already mine. All I needed to do was take a big deep breath and feel. Allow me to be vulnerable and scared. Allow me to not have it all planned out. Listen to my body when it says no, or to slow down. And just LET GO. 

This season of my life I'm focusing on being there for little Carly. Nurturing her playful energy and beaming smile. When she feels safe and watched after, anything is possible.

Here's some wisdom for you to keep in mind this week. Oh ya, and wish me luck! let the journey begin :)))

Don't you dare stop growing. Don't you dare stop glowing. Continue to be that beautiful beam of light that you are.

CLOSURE happens right after you accept that letting go and moving on is more important than projecting a fantasy of how the relationship could've been

Don't rush the process. Allow yourself to grow at your own pace. Stop comparing your life to what other people are doing.

When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place.

One of the happiest moments in life is when you find the courage to let go of what you cannot change.

Love all of you little fuckers. Thank you for being you. And thank you for helping my dreams come true. I'm your cheerleader behind the scenes. You are NOT ALONE.

3AM Train Ticket

A LOT has happened since I last wrote. 

I signed up for work away, I accepted a job as a snowmaker at Snowbird, And I bought a microphone set to start transitioning my blog into a podcast/vlog! I also leave in a couple hours to Colorado for the weekend… on the Amtrak. Recently I’ve been noticing how Incredible change happens in my life when I decide to take control of what I do have power over instead of craving control over what I don't.

I’m so excited to see what happens during my time out there, I have a feeling it will be magical. Every time that you feel passionately to do something instead of fighting against it, try to go with it and see what happens… even though it’s scary and not always fun, it’s most definitely always worth it.

I’ll update you guys when I’m back in Utah! Wish me luck ✨AND REMEMBER… Stay positive. Forgive others. Invest in yourself. Trust your instincts. Lead with an open heart. Don't let others ruin your day. Do things that bring you joy. Be of service to humanity. Find your soul tribe. Love yourself.

Rejection is Devine Protection

Hello reader,

I hope you’ve been having a wonderful week. Recently I’ve felt like I’ve been in a funk of sorts. Low energy, sleeping a lot, not working out like usual. I’ve made a note to stay conscious about being nice to myself during this time and allowing my body and mind to rest without judgement. From my experience so far on this planet, if your soul, body, and mind is craving rest… life is preparing you for a big wish fulfillment or life event. 

As some of you know I have a 1997 Suzuki gxsr 750. I have been trying to repair this bike for quite some time now… and every time that it seems to be fixed and ready to pick up, it suddenly stops working. This has happened 3 or 4 times now. At first I was really bummed (I was excited to get riding before the season was over) but now I’m seeing this from a different perspective.

Rejection is Devine protection. Maybe this is the universes way of telling me this motorcycle is not meant to be a part of my journey right now. Then I got to thinking, well what was the point of me being so drawn to it? And then it clicked… I now had an investment. I could cash this in anytime for any adventure! So I said fuck it and decided to sell my bike. Once I have a buyer I’ll have an extra $5,000 in my bank account that I can use to travel the world. Maybe the bike not working out for me was just a way of the universe forcing me to save up for my big dreams and goals. A hard truth I’ve realized these past couple years is that TRULY if something is meant for you, it will NOT pass you by. Rejection is Devine protection.

Some other times I’ve said fuck it this past while have led me to some pretty epic adventures. Night climbing and star gazing, sunrise jogs, planning trips abroad. 

What a magical little universe we live in.

My goals over the next week are to practice being mindful about where my energy is spent.  

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right and forget about the ones who don't. 

Learn not to give a damn. You'll be happier. 

Take the risk or lose the chance.
