Looking for my Interior Design portfolio & services??

Want to know more about the brands that trust me?

STAY CONNECTED.

Last September I was hired as the Art Director to finish out Season 5 of Tiny House Nation.
And the first episode I ever worked on, in Combine, Texas, finally aired last week (featuring my favorite family, Lori & Tony Rosa!).
•
I still have so much to say about my time on the show, but here was my big takeaway:
The situations & moments you DON’T enjoy have the potential to actually teach you MUCH MORE than the ones you DO enjoy.
Because when we love something, we tend to get kinda lazy about uncovering all the “whys”. And because life can throw a lot of shit at us.... sometimes it just feels nice to float along on a feeling of bliss.
Which totally makes sense.
•
But when you DON’T enjoy something, you’ll find it’s much easier to clearly articulate WHY you don’t love it.
You’ll get clearer about how incredibly valuable your time is.
You’ll learn to set better boundaries (if you’re smart!).
You’ll clearly see where your truest gifts lie & how you can BEST use them to serve others. You’ll learn how you want to spend your work days & you’ll learn (or remember!) what to NEVER DO when you’re in the position of leading a team.
You’ll get clearer about what sets your soul on fire.
And all of this will make you so much clearer about WHO you really are. And most importantly—WHERE you should be investing your time, in this life, for your greatest return.
•
So, sometimes we take chances & they turn out amazing. And other times we take chances & they end up being much less than what we hoped.
But either way—you can make something really, really amazing out of your experience....IF you’re paying attention & have the courage to really challenge thoughts.
The key (as taught to me by @jacquettemtimmons) is this—
“Stop asking the kind of questions that are keeping you STUCK, & start asking the kind that will move you FORWARD.”
•
Everything is DATA, friends.
So please—PLEASE—become UNYIELDING about processing everything life sends your way.
Because truly, “RESURRECTION” is just a fancy word for saying: “Your personal evolution will always be an inside job.”
And THAT is the truth..no matter which God you pray to.
Happy Easter, friends.✨

There are still a few Intention Bangle Bracelet sets left in my shop!!

I didn’t plan to be away so long.
•
It started out as a little nagging feeling of being “tired of needing to post on IG!” (even though I’ve consistently been in my stories), but after awhile I realized I just needed a MF BREAK.
Because March was an odd month for me.
•
I still can’t really put into words WHY it was odd but....I just felt like my entire body was submerged up to my neck in the LaBrea Tar Pits the whole damn month (this is an LA reference, but imagine trying to run thru hot asphalt that hardens as it dries).
And at some point you gotta call a thing a thing & recognize when you’re fighting AGAINST the very thing that’s slowing you down & just CHILL TF OUT.
So I decided to just HONOR whatever was happening & do nothing (except my stories!) until it has its way with me & my body could feel that it was TIME to come back. Which is now.
•
I’m revived & refreshed & reading AMAZING books & planning lots of new things. Excited.🙌🏾
•
I am also still devastated about Nipsey.
Super excited that my sold out Lost & Found Marrakech retreat launches in less than 8 weeks.
Working on a cool, easy design mini renovation/refresh with an old client.
And excited to finally watch the new season of Tiny House Nation, so I can finally see the episodes I styled when I was hired as the Art Director last minute, last year. (Still scarred from that experience!!)
•
Also, HEALING. 🙌🏾 Specifically around money & attachment. Lots of that happening, too.
•
So I think you’re all caught up now. 😉
•
Happy Spring, y’all. I hope everyone is not just well but THRIVING. And if you ain’t thriving....I hope you’re doing the work to figure out WHY that is, so you can. In the meantime, please go Google the “LaBrea Tar Pits”. It’s so fucking cool.
Mmmkay. Bye.

The things I wake up thinking about in the morning!!!! 😩😩 #RecipeForDisaster

...And just when you think you’ve
done enough,
released enough,
explored the depths,
healed the wounds,
uncovered your biases,
& pushed yourself farther than you’ve ever gone before....
You learn that there’s yet ANOTHER level of healing that awaits.
And that, as long as there’s breath in your body, YOUR WORK here will never really done.
-
Trust God anyhow.
It’s all for your good, no matter what it looks like right now.✨✨

If you ever lose something,
technically,
God can give you every single thing back,
EXCEPT FOR YOUR TIME.
It is the ONE resource that is NOT renewable.
-
Don’t wait until tomorrow to say it.
Don’t wait until tomorrow to do it.
Don’t wait until tomorrow to see it.
Don’t wait until tomorrow to build it.
Don’t wait until tomorrow to fix it.
-
Stop acting like your tomorrow is promised, because it is NOT.
Even this morning—the clock over your head may say you have 90 minutes left or......you might have 7,000,000 minutes left.
My point is,
none of us know what the clock says.
Make sure you’re doing WHAT is important to you, WHEN it is important to you and with WHOM is important to you.
Period.
-
@brandiefreely: should I have said “who” instead of “whom”? That one got me....🤣🤣

We define ourselves by our actions but it doesn’t mean we have to live by that definition forever.
-
At any time, we can change our own story by simply CHANGING OUR BEHAVIOR.
-
At any time,
You. Can. Change. ✨✨

Last week was just an “off” week for me—couldn’t really get it in gear, felt very uninspired, & felt a bit “stuck” in general, as I’ve been doing DEEP work on my business and I’m kinda over it. 🤣
It’s both mentally exhausting AND yet, INCREDIBLY necessary.
It’s the only thing I’m focusing on right now, no matter how long it takes me to finish it (but hopefully not much linger! 😰)
•
These times comes for ALL of us, tho often for different reasons.
And when they do, there’s nothing left for you to do but to just surrender to the moment and BE there.
Let it roll over you.
I feel like I’m much better for taking the time to dip away from SM & not force myself to post just because “my algorithm will be messed up”.
Or because you EXPECT to open up your apps & see something from me.
I just can’t do it.
•
The best way I can encourage, inspire & support you is by taking care of ME, and the best way you can do the same for me is by taking care of YOU.
And I really hope you’ll do that when it’s your time!!
•
I love these questions from @heyamberrae & speaking of—how do YOU “check in” & reconnect with yourself when you’re going thru a “Blah” phase??? 🤔
Lemme know. 👇🏾👇🏾

If you were planning to come to Lost & Found Marrakech for the June 2019 retreat, you just missed your chance because it’s SOLD OUT!!!!
—
New locations will be launching soon for Fall ‘19 & Winter ‘20...be on the lookout!!! (BOLO)
#LostAndFoundRetreats

Here’s the real question:
Is the person you’re seeking, seeking somebody like you????
🤔 🤔 🤔

My allergies are crazy & the weather is (kinda) starting to get warmer & when I look around, I see that my grass is starting to grow & a few trees around the neighborhood are starting to bloom, too.
Spring is tryna peek its head out, y’all.
And I’m here for it.
•
Every year the same cycle happens—growth & death, growth & death,
growth & death.
In nature & in our lives, the only thing that stays the same is the cycle.
Which is actually a good thing, because it means we always know what’s coming, generally speaking.
Nothing about this is new.
•
I, too, am in the midst of my own Spring.
Everything is blooming around me—work goals, personal aspects, practical life shit—and in the moments when the discomfort & anxiety roll in, I remind myself that discomfort is really just a sign of GROWTH.
Because being someone new & creating something bigger also means we have to let go of what’s comfortable, so we can grow into a NEW NORMAL with a new level of comfort.
•
One of my coaching clients just ended apartment lease & is putting all of her stuff in storage so she can travel test out living overseas (with a conventional job!!!), but she has ZERO plan right now. She’s just going because she knows it’s time.
And another one bought an entire HOUSE in Africa just a few weeks ago, the first step of starting the creative business she’s always dreamed of, deep down.
Y’all.
Everyone around me is doing BIG things & I love it.
•
The only way big, exciting, unexpected things happen in our lives is to look for the opportunities to MAKE them happen, whenever we can. Stop doing what you’ve “always done”, how you’ve “always done it”, & start doing something NEW.
Because Spring is here, y’all.
Time to bloom again. 🌺
