Happy December ❄️
I love finding foliage during colder months because it serves as the reminder that no matter the conditions, all living things can still thrive.
Exciting announcements coming soon! 🫶🏾

"Yet, we recognize that if we continue to hold on to these things, relationships, and habits that mean us no good and no growth, we are setting ourselves up for a life that will forever feel unfulfilled."~Dana G.
A powerful reminder that holding onto things that no longer serve you become heavy for a reason 🫶🏾

"Yes, it's INSIDE Asian Supermarket!"
I day these words at least twice a week as I share about one of my favorite restaurants in all the land @bellascaketering 🇵🇭 The food is always made fresh, hot and delicious and pictured is my favorite dish: the chicken adobo bowl over rice.
Even more fantastic than the food is the story of the woman and her family behind it all! I first learned of it through @columbusgeorgiaeats and learned more when we went to visit ourselves (highly recommend doing both-prepare to be inspired!)
Try it out for yourself and let me know what you get (always welcome to ask for recommendations, too 😊)! What will you try first?

I cannot express to you how much I adore this small business and it's owner, Rachel! 😍
@thepeachshoppeandco is so fun and vibrant and LIFE-GIVING and fully reflects Rachel and her creative, loving spirit! During our last BBB event, we started here and had a blast shopping (I love my new plant, MeMe-short for Demeter, iykyk). Seeing everyone walk around in fascination and discussion about the items from local artists, horticulturists and everything in between was enough to keep me in awe for a several days after.
Whenever you find yourself in @uptowncolumbus stop by and #supportlocal 🫶🏾 Thanks for having us!

May I just say: @the_stirrup_trouble
Y'ALL DID THAT! 🎉🎉🫶🏾🫶🏾
The owner is entirely lovely, intelligent, creative, and cares about the experience from top to bottom and it SHOWS. I especially appreciate there being mocktails and other NA bevvies that are tasty and look great.
My husband and I had a wonderful date night, my dear friend enjoyed as she was visiting from our of town and then my girlfriends and I had loads of laughter and enjoyment for Ladies Night Out!
So far, we've tried the Ginny's Juice, Stirrup Pilates, Pucker Up, GES Please, Pasture Bedtime, Puerto Rican Mami and Boss B*tch, ALL of which were fantabulous. We did a charcuterie box for LNO that was amazing as well!Thank you all so much for your warm welcome; experiences like this make me love the work I do even more.

Time on the island 🥹 Watch until the end to see some fearless purple do awesome things!
Forever grateful that I was introduced to this space for respite in the beauty and calm of the outdoors paired with the vibration of rushing water.
I hope you all have a weekend that feels like I felt sitting here this day.

Introducing: the Beautyberry ✨️
I love that I can go out into my community, stumble across a plant I've never seen and go on to learn more about it with great support from other community members! I took an unplanned detour of my run and came across this lovely shrub outside @hotelindigocolumbusga There are so many neat facts about this plant, but my favorite is how it has the AUDACITY to take up space and knows full well that it'll be cared for no meter what. I'd like to be more like it, in that aspect.
Thank you, nature, for your continous lessons 🙏🏾🫶🏾 What have you let the Earth teach you recently?

We had such a lovely time celebrating Khristina and her family at their soft opening of @columbusbound last night! 🎉🎉
I found myself standing in the middle of the space in awe and pride. How fortunate are we to have such a beautiful and meaningful space in our city? I loved seeing all of the little details on the shelves and on the walls (like the beautiful commissioned artwork piece there on the wall-y'all please tag the artist!)
Seeing my husband be as excited as me about books for the first time was heartwarming and we can't wait to go back. Keep an eye out on their page for the announcement of their grand opening! Congratulations and thank you for having us!🎉🫶🏾
What's the newest addition to your TBR pile?

Happy November! ¡Feliz Dia de los Muertos! Happy Diwali! 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
We will be doing two exciting events this month and on the same day for the first time! More details to come next week, but be ready to expand. It's going to be SO much fun! 💃🏾 🪘
I hope you all had a fun and safe week of trunk and trick or treating! 🎃
TWO things about me:
1. I will ALWAYS do my best to get a pic of water and
2. I will ALWAYS do my best to get a pic of the sky and beautiful cloud formations!
Both are just so majestic to me and looking at photos of them when I scroll back through my camera roll brings me such peace.
What do you always stop to take a photo of? 📷

I've been experimenting with ways to stay curious-about life, my surrounds, myself-this week. I've been doing this specifically by allowing a thought or question to come to mind and then simply NOT looking up the answer online. I'd instead let my own critical thinking and curiosity grow and ask myself MORE questions about it.
Why am I doing this? In order to allow myself the chance to think and draw my own conclusions from life experience and talking with people and inviting conversation rather than asking a question, looking up the answer, getting that momentary gratification, then moving on with my day (and unlikely to remember what the answer was by the end of it).
What ways do you stay curious about yourself and the world around you? Will you join me the rest of the week in this little but big challenge?
