Hello hello, I hope you're doing well today :) Sending you all the good vibes.
Welcome to my weekly(ish) Friday newsletter! I want to make this as inspiring, insightful, and useful for you as possible, so you can live your best life and take steps everyday to turn your dreams into your reality.
If you find anything helpful or motivating in this email, I would so appreciate it if you forwarded this to a friend to share the love! (New folks can subscribe here!) This is my 19th newsletter so far ― I'm at 165 subscribers and excited to grow and share even more this year :)
You know the drill ― below is the latest list of links that I'm referring to so I can build my best life one intriguing article, book, video, and podcast at a time:
WHERE I'M TRAVELING
- I just got home to London from a week in Greece yesterday.
- My first 3.5 days were spent on holiday exploring Athens and re-living my study abroad days (still cannot believe it was 13 years ago!) ― I'm sharing my favorite photos over on Facebook.
- The last 3.5 days in Athens I was at my company's annual SKO (Sales Kick Off). 700 global sales and account management employees gathered to get hyped up for the year ahead. I manage a global SMB team of 13 account managers that sit in our NYC, London, and Bangkok offices so it was really great to get to see the team in person (without having to literally fly around the world to be with them).
WHO I'M FOLLOWING
- Melissa Arnot for all the hiking inspiration and big Mt. Everest dreams.
- I was beside myself that Melissa was our SKO keynote speaker this year! It was a dream come true to see her speak in person. I hiked the Himalayas to Namche Bazaar in Nepal (2 days from Mt. Everest base camp ― so close yet so far!) in May 2014 and Melissa is a strong, badass woman that I have looked up to since I began my hiking journey.
WHAT I'M WRITING
- N/A ― was in lock down mode in the conference all week so just getting into creative side hustle things again now. (It was such a brilliantly produced conference ― but being trapped indoors all day actually drives my creative self crazy.)
WHAT OTHERS ARE WRITING
BOOKS I'M READING
YOUTUBE VIDEOS I'M WATCHING
INTENTION I'M SETTING
- For more information on how / why / what / when to set intentions during a new moon, check out Ezzie Spencer's Lunar Abundance. (I'm currently using her book throughout the whole moon cycle.)
QUOTE I LOVE
- "I'm not telling you to make the world better, because I don't think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I'm just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment." ― Joan Didion
You are good enough. You are smart enough. You are talented enough.
You always have been. You always will be.
Now go forth and get shit done, one day at a time!
