A few years ago I could barely walk, now I run several miles & bike several hours a week. I remember holding myself up on my walker while watching movies at home. At first I had to take breaks every couple steps, then every couple blocks, then every 10 minutes. Now I can run a mile with walking breaks every quarter mile. If you truly want to accomplish something, don't listen to anyone when they say you can't. Doctors aren't even always right. You know your body & mind better than anyone. When you try to do something that seems too hard or even impossible..... many people will say no, it's too dangerous, it'll take 10x longer, it'll cost too much, it'll take too much time, it won't work out, etc. There are so many people out there doing amazing things every single day. You can be one of those people too. You need to find what works for you & start taking charge over your life & your beliefs. Don't let the world dictate your abilities & your future. This is your story & you can write whatever you'd like. If you make it 100% y-o-u, it'll lead you to the exact people you want in your life that will help you to become & achieve even more. :) __________________________________________ #motivation #inspiration #workout #run #recovery #wearingallblack #fblogger #fashionblogger #ootd #ootw #simplicity #modellife #entrepreneur #startup #innovation #Boise (at Boise, Idaho)

When I first started modeling, many people told me I could not do it. "You're too short." As a petite model I was booked for runway shows, fashion catalogs, & magazine editorials. "You have terrible skin." With a face full of cystic acne, I booked a beauty spread, makeup ad, & multiple commercials. No matter what you do in life, there are going to be people that will tell you that you can't do it. There are going to be obstacles that will seem impossible to overcome. But whatever you do, never settle for less. Never let bad things stop you from being great... You may not know it now, but these bad things may be the greatest things that ever happened to you. They may change you in a way that prepares you to do exactly what you want to do. You can be anything you want to be. You can do whatever you set your mind to. "Anything is possible, even a dancing spoon." (My mom told me that when I was a kid. Now every time something seems impossible, I just imagine a dancing spoon & it makes me laugh & smile) (at Boise, Idaho)

Many of you have been messaging me asking why I am switching careers & looking to work for a major corporation.... I've been doing photography for about 2 years now. My first photoshoot ever I was paid $50 for a full day's shoot. Now I make $1,000-2,000+/day of shooting. The main reason I love photography is the places I get to go & the people I get to meet. Over my career I've been to the headquarters of @Google NY & MTV, @Facebook, @Twitter, @LinkedIn, @Microsoft, @Intuit, @IBM, @Starbucks, @Staples, @Indiegogo, @Pfizer, @Autodesk, @BMW, @Ford, @WeWork, @Work_BenchNYC, @GrandCentralTech, @Adobe, @NewYorkPalace, @500Startups, @Ycombinator, @RocketSpace, @RunwayInc, #Quirky, @Mastercard, @NYTimes, & more.... Now these are the type of places I dream of working at. These are the type of people I get along with best & want to surround myself with. This is where I feel I can make the most impact right now.

Sometimes I wonder why people even own cars... Uber & my bike give me so much freedom. Now if only I didn't have to own a bike. Owning less is key. ;) (at San Francisco, California)
