The Personal Mistake That Cost Me $1,468.34

November 3, 2021

Letting others define you comes at a cost. My final bill was $1,468.34. It’s the total I charged to my

One year ago today! We had climbed out of bed at the crack of dawn to drive from Portland to Grants Pass to pick up this sweet boy. Happy #GotchaDay to the sweet, goofy, and boisterous puppy we named definitely named after a bourbon.

So thankful for you today. And every other day. Ha

So thankful for you today. And every other day. Happy birthday, @brucethemoose. And happy #Thanksgiving to our family, friends, and loved ones—wherever you’re celebrating today! 🧡🎁🦃

After almost three months of constant movement, travel, and transition, I woke up this morning to stillness. Empty space. Ringing silence.

It's a sense of groundedness and clarity I haven't felt since our plane took off in early September for a cross-country adventure. We explored a new part of the country. We packed up and moved our lives out of Portland. We turned a new house into our home. We navigated major medical procedures and health scares. We made nauseatingly sharp, but essential pivots in the way my business worked.

All. Since. September.

And, of course, these three months of change came paired with the worst bout of seasonal depression I've seen in years. I've been telling people, "Sorry, I'm just so busy!" But in reality, I should be saying, "Sorry, I'm depressed AF with absolutely zero capacity."

In short, these past three months were a sticky, jumbled mess of emotion and turbulent change... and I'm relieved to be done with them.

It's damn near impossible to document everything that's happened in a single Instagram post. But maybe I can at least share how it feels to take a deep breath in the soft, white glow of life coming back into focus.

Hang tight, friend. Things will look a little better in the morning. ✨

October, you were exhausting in the best way. 🍂

A Q4 plan? Fuck that. H2? Who the hell actually knew what that even meant the first time you saw in an email?

I learned a long time ago how much I disliked the traditional method of planning my business in stuffy, corporate financial quarters.

Instead, my life and business planning happen with the seasons.

Even though it only differs by a few weeks, I find so much more power and inspiration in the changing color of leaves than the turning of a new page on the calendar.

Happy #autumn, friends! 🍂

This is what a typical product shoot looks like for me, complete with an oh so helpful and fuzzy creative assistant. I've pretty much mastered perfectly timed shots to avoid a nose or paw in the frame. 📸 🐾

Another month, another beginning. As Mary Oliver once mused, "What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" 🌸 🐝 ☀️
