I had the best time this weekend exploring San Fra I had the best time this weekend exploring San Francisco with my pen pal of over 6 years, Julie (@julietulbaauthor). This was our first IRL meet up after so many years of sharing life stories and our wanderlust connections - so much fun! #wanderlust #penpals #friends #irlmeetup #sanfrancisco #exploring #lombardstreet #coittower #touristinmyowncity
I heard this quote today from Trevor Noah as he wa I heard this quote today from Trevor Noah as he was "signing off" from his show for the summer to reboot after 15 months being online entertaining people. It really resonated with me. This past few weeks I have jumped back into what feels a little like my pre-pandemic life. It has been incredibly liberating and invigorating. I am so ready! Yet as I dive back in, I do think it's important to reflect as well. Not to fill my mind with anxieties around the what ifs, but to think about all I've learned about myself during this unprecedented experience. I experienced some very sad things this past year (the passing of my father-in-law), but also am so fortunate to have had some incredible highlights too (hello all you incredible online students!) I'm not "signing off" for the summer as Trevor is, but I am taking this summer to work on me, re-energize my goals and create a new roadmap to all that I want to offer this world - the future looks bright! What about you? Have you done any reflecting on new habits or actions you started during the pandemic you want to continue? Have you had new ideas around the way you'd like to move forward? I'd love to hear them! #trevornoah #reflection #postpandemicworld #goingforward #movingforward #breath #dontgoback #goforward
