Windows open to the sounds of rain

tucked inside reading a good book

I can’t think of a simpler pleasure.

One week of ✨33✨

I flew back home from Thailand a day before my birthday, so I got to spend my birthday day reuniting with my sibs and fam and Colorado (after 5 months away)❤️

These pics are from my last week in BKK — just being a boujie gal and celebrating life with my bestie just because… and there will be plenty more of that this year. 🥂

More celebrating for no reason, more self love, more black leather skirts, more time laughing with my besties, more fabulousness & silliness, more being this fun, fearless woman who I have truly come to adore and admire. ✨

Thank you for capturing me 📸 @purdy.pics ily😘

Last day in Bangkok 😭 It’s been one helluva trip 🙌🏽

Bangkok will always be the city where I became an adult. It’s where I had my first real teaching job out of college and my first apartment all to myself. It’s the city that I called home for half of my roaring 20’s. It’s where I navigated the highs and lows of a long term relationship and also where I formed a core group of girlfriends who I still travel with to this day.

I’m so glad @purdy.pics and I could experience our BKK reunion together & spend our days doing all the thing we used to love… brunch at Roast, Aesops & pool parties, rooftop sunsets, Thai massages and a day at the onsen, cocktails at Havana & Charlie Browns, wine at Scarlett, eating pad Thai and mango smoothies.

We put on sweaters in the 100 degree weather so we could watch a movie in the freezing theatre and eat our favorite popcorn (movie theaters are a luxury experience in Thailand!). And of course, we sang (screamed) karaoke at Woodball, which was worthy of multiple visits. 😜

It’s been so fun and fulfilling to see so many old and dear friends and coworkers. It’s been 5 years since I was here, and all I can say is — damn, I missed this place. Hope it won’t take me that long to return again. Until next time, Bangkok ✨✌🏼

Nothing better than a Bangkok Brunch with the Best

Sawadee Pi Mai! Happy New Years from Chiang Mai, Thailand! 🇹🇭🥳

Songkran is my all time favorite holiday - it’s a joyful, giant water fight - with super soakers, buckets of ice water, and hoses. 😜🔫💦

This is my third New Years celebration in the last 4 months. 😂 I celebrated traditional NYE with fireworks over the Brisbane skyline with one of the great loves of my life. I was in Bali for Nyepi, Balinese New Year, which is a day of complete silence on the island.. cell phone services are turned off, there are no cars on the roads, and nobody leaves their house. It’s an incredible time to be in Bali. Now, I’m lucky enough to be back in Thailand for Songkran, ringing in the lunar new year completed soaked. ✌🏼💦

What can I say? I’m a sucker for new beginnings. 😉

Bali, you always have a way of bringing me back ho

Bali, you always have a way of bringing me back home. Until next time. ✨🪷📿

Ubud, Bali. 🌱💜 It’s good to be back in one of my favorite little corners of this big, wide world. ✨😭

It was a real pleasure, Oz ✌🏼✨

All of it… watching the kite surfers in St. Kilda, karaoke nights, teaching yoga at @selina.australia in Brisbane & Melbs, watching the AO finals in the grass, taking a barista course in the coffee capital (Melbourne), and hanging with @tash767 in rAdelaide.

Edit: This was originally a post about a yoga & sailing retreat I was to be hosting later in 2024, but I have postponed it!

I’m following my heart & intuition in knowing that this isn’t quite the right time for me… but I know it will be someday. All in good time. ☺️🙏🏽

Honestly my face says it all 😂☺️ Today is

Honestly my face says it all 😂☺️

Today is my last day at @selina.australia 🥹 It has been such a pleasure to wake up everyday and teach yoga to guests from all over the world. 🌍💕

I spent December at Selina Brisbane and January in St. Kilda (Melbourne). During the last 9 weeks I’ve taught about 70 yoga classes.

I’ve reconnected to yoga in a new way. I’ve reconnected to teaching, and I’ve embraced my voice in a bigger way, as a way to lead and guide.

I’ve rediscovered just how much I love teaching yoga, so I’m returning to Bali in March to immerse myself in my 200 hour training once more. I also have a yoga retreat in the works for later this year… more on that coming soon. 😏🥳

So incredibly grateful for this opportunity and for all the wonderful connections and chats with the lovely peeps who joined my classes. 💕✨

Thank you to @journaljulia and @chiaragyk for the lovely photos 📷🫶🏽

I could weep thinking about how fast time moves h

I could weep thinking about how fast time moves

how everything shifts under our feet both subtly and all at once

how we look forward to things for so long and then they’re over

how we look back on the normal, uneventful nights with the most nostalgia

how we longingly hope that the ones we love will change their minds

how we sink into place & new becomes home: city, coffee shop, bridge

how effortlessly we fall into step with strangers and for a brief moment in time we’re drunk in the city center dancing, laughing, singing down the streets

how we hug goodbye before we understand how special it all was

how fast everything slips into a new now

a now that will soon be a memory, remembered with a fond smile and a twitch of the heart

a now that we can never quite grasp the depth of until it’s over

hindsight 20/20(23)

2023, whoa. It was the year I started a podcast an

2023, whoa. It was the year I started a podcast and made a commitment to use my voice in a bigger way.

It was snowy trips to the mountains with friends & sibs and a murder mystery party for @purdy.pics

This year was Path of Love Retreat in Italy with all its release, opening, expansion, crying, dancing. I was reminded yet again how fast strangers can become family.

This year brought many reunions with Camino family….

There was cuddling in a tent in Scotland with @fbrownwork at Eden Festival- with glitter all over. There was strolling around Amsterdam with @ivanrijn laughing like we did on the Camino.

There was the last days of 2023 with @tash767 and Chris- driving on flooded mountain roads, playing cards & walking on the beach

For a lot of the year, there was confusion about what was to come… & many, many job applications.

There was a full circle moment when I returned to Path of Love as staff and had the honor of witnessing the opening and expansion of others. There were realizations and so much letting go, over and over.

There was a lot of writing, and the bliss of having 2 pieces of writing selected as finalists in writing contests.

2023 is the year I returned to Spain. Went topless on the beach in Cadiz. Had a Guinness in Dublin. Stood in the middle of Genova eating gelato and marveling at the beauty of Europe. My favorite moment may have been petting cows up in the Dolomites.

At the end of November, I packed everything up and set off on my nomadic journey…

There’s been beautiful new hellos and hard goodbyes, and I’m reminded over and over again that living life in this way is transitory and magical and painful all at the same time.

My heart is open and I’m alive in every way, and I keep taking moments to remind myself that right now I’m living a life I only once dreamed of….
