Adventure Road...Oh, the twists and turns we navigate through Life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I talk to so many people who think that one of these days, they'll wake up to experience the proverbial "You have arrived!" (thank you GPS for the sound bite). Even worse, they mistakenly think *I* have arrived simply because I've been coaching for so long now (spoiler alert - I'm human with very human problems!).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I sure wish it worked that way. But it just doesn't. The truth is this winding road leading off to an unknown horizon is how life works. We can only ever see what's in front of us. And what there is to pay attention to is in front of us. Yet we spend so much time planning for an unknowable future thinking we actually have control over the outcome. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But it's an illusion. And one that tends to inspire much angst in most people.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What I notice in my own life is that it's okay to know where I'm headed and to plot the course, but it's more important to stay in my lane and take life as it comes. Because sometimes, it's even better than I could've imagined. And other times, even when it's worse than what I thought it would be, the detour was worth it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #AdventuresInHappiness #CoachingHappiness #HappinessCoach #lLifeCoaching #Transformation #EFT #FasterEft #Tapping #NLP #Hypnosis #HeartCentered #SocialCurator #BeHappy #Inspiration #SelfLove #SelfCare #Mindfulness #PersonalGrowth #LoveYourself #Happiness #ChangeYourThoughts #SelfAcceptance #HappinessNow #LifeAdventures #UnexpectedOutcomes 
Day2 of #handlettering #calligraphy practice with @thehappyevercrafter and #ShowMeYourDrills 🥰 These overturns are FUN! 
I’ve always been fascinated with calligraphy. In probably 4th grade, my mom got me a #calligraphy learning kit and I practiced and practiced. Knowing me, I imagine I got frustrated that (as a FOURTH grader) my letters didn’t look like the workbook and likely threw in the towel. Yay #perfectionism - NOT! Over the years, I’ve picked it back up for a New York minute and let it fall by the wayside once again. But my interest in it has never truly faded. The past few months have been really hard as I’d taken on being a primary caregiver for a dying family member, and in that process I realized that it was time to fully embrace #selfcare. Because I HAD to lest I spiral downward into illness myself. So I decided to pick up modern calligraphy - #handlettering - as a creative and self soothing outlet and self care practice. I discovered Becca from @thebappyevercrafter on YouTube and started practicing her tutorials and have had soooo much fun. It’s been #healing for my heart and soul to get back into this. And just today, I finally signed up for her free 30 day course on the basics and am following along. Today is Day1 of #showmeyourdrills and here is my first sheet, even though I have already been practicing for a month unofficially. I’m noticing how much easier the strokes are to learn by tracing and wish I’d started with this. But I know I’ve already developed some blooming skills regardless. I’m ahead of the curve (no pun intended) with this course because I’m not quite starting from scratch. But still with a beginner’s heart. So much fun!!!
