Within an hour of my waking this fine 2020....a bird pooped on me, and I......was.....THRILLED!! I’m all about superstitions and signs, and according to popular belief, being pooped on is A sign of luck, prosperity and good fortune❤️. #gameon2020 (at Pannikin Coffee & Tea) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6ylaWcg4GZ/?igshid=16s3ufm3eefuf

Happiness. The desire to achieve Happiness is pretty much the one and only thing we as humans mutually have in common. It doesn’t matter what race, sex, social status, religion, political belief or color we are. We all just want to be happy in some way, shape, or form. About 9 months ago I came up with the name, heart happy project. It was crafted from the idea that living a life that makes our hearts happy....well....is indeed a project. I was inspired to create an “official” heart happy project page, that show cases some tips, tools & resources that have helped me on my journey, with the hopes it provides you with some inspiration for your own heart happy project. (hearthappyproject.com) Wishing you all a prosperous New Year filled with good health, abundance, and countless adventures that make your heart happy❤️.

Goals...goals.....GOALS!! Today my crew of goalgetters gathered together to kick off 2020! No one succeeds alone. Behind every successful person, there is a great person or team. Surround yourself with the right company. Other people can provide the inspiration, knowledge, perspective, wisdom, and feedback you need to keep you on track. An accountability buddy can dramatically increase your chances to succeed. You must have someone to answer to for your actions and results — a person that can keep you on track and honest. Here’s to achieving more kickass goals and making more kick ass memories along the way! (at Le Papagayo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6rtpTMAgZL/?igshid=vzjqzecoq84z

Another day well spent off the grid with A Bunch of Wanderers 🥾. Fun fact: Spending time outdoors makes us better people! According to psychologists, exposure to nature helps us shrug off societal pressures, allowing us to remember and value more important things like relationships, sharing, and community.

Spending quality time individually with my boys is really important to me. When they were little I treated them as the same person because at the time it was easier for me. As they got older it was clear that they were indeed individuals, and I wanted to get to know each of them. So now I make it a point to meet them where they are at in life. Sometimes it’s dinner with one, and in cases like tonight it was art class with the other. Thank you @syrus.chaloux for spending time getting creative with your mama tonight👩🏻‍🎨👨🏼‍🎨❤️.

Some of my fondest memories were when my boys were little during Christmas. The excitement in the air on Christmas Eve was immeasurable. It’s moments like tonight, looking at holiday lights and sharing stories of times long ago that rekindle that same spirit from when they were itty bitty, and I’m so incredibly grateful 🎄❤️ (at Christmas On Knob Hill) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6XQblRAlct/?igshid=1xr0yg1a2ahe8

Tonight’s date night was at La Costa Canyon High School to watch CHICAGO! I didn’t know a soul on that stage, but I do know the importance of supporting high school performing arts. I was swept away with the incredible talent on that stage tonight. From the costume design to the choreography, this production was a 10 in my book 💯. Thank you to all the students who had a hand in making this show come to life. You did a great job! (at La Costa Canyon High) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6Pm_fiAtG2/?igshid=1gta9g772f0k2

mind•ful•ness A mental state achieved by focusing ones awareness on the present moment. Even if that means pulling out your cellphone mid stride during a power walk to stop and crouch down to take a photo of morning dew on a blade of grass.

We actually never asked to be born. We are innocently brought into this world craving love, protection from harm and needing guidance on how to live our best life. But this scenario is not always the hand we are dealt. So we survive on our own terms with the limited resources we are provided with the hopes everything will just work out for us some day. One of the greatest life lessons I’ve learned is it takes a village to raise a child. Just In Time For Foster Youth has done just that. They are an INCREDIBLE “village” that has created a dynamic platform of support for some of San Diego’s finest exiting foster youth. These young adults ages 18 to 26 need you. If you are looking for a way to help provide a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th chance at life for someone .....here’s YOUR chance❤️.

Those you spend the most time with have a huge influence on your moods, how you view the world and the expectations you have of yourself. When you surround yourself with positive people, you’re more likely to adopt empowering beliefs and see life as happening for you instead of to you. These are the people I spend 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 12 months a year with. Most people label these types of humans as “coworkers”. I’m lucky enough to call them my people, my friends, and my extended family in many cases. They put paper plates on their heads and pose while I take photos of them to only reply about dumb they look. This is the @gaylordhansenteam, these are my people, and I’m so incredibly grateful for them❤️ (at Gaylord-Hansen Mortgage Team at LD) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5vBx9RA6yp/?igshid=acotpm5x12ee

The sliding glass door in our bedroom is my least favorite thing in our house. It’s covered with half peeled away tint from a previous tenant, along with months...fine years...of smeared paw prints. I sat up one morning and tried to avoid gazing out of it as I normally do, to find a beautiful rainbow right before my eyes. I quickly grabbed my phone on my nightstand to snap a photo. It dawned on me that this image is a lot like life. We laser focus on the crap we dislike about our lives and invest so much time & energy sweating the small stuff that it consumes us and our perspective on life becomes blurred and we only see our struggle & lack. We all tend to look at life through eyes similar to a dirty sliding glass door. But we have the choice to decide if that’s where it stops, or if we can look past it all to really see the true beauty of life underneath. Needless to say, I never saw a speck of tint or paw marks on the window that morning. Instead that rainbow consumed me, and I was so incredibly grateful I had a sliding glass door to capture that moment❤️.

I read somewhere that the true meaning of life is to be of service. I can personally attest that this theory rings true to me, and I am the best version of myself when lost in the service of others. The beauty of being of service looks different to everyone. It could be physically getting out there and working with others directly, it could be needlepointing gratitude packs in the comfort of your home, or it could be supporting days like today, @givingtuesday, where you can support an organizations mission to do good with a monetary donation of any amount. If you know you want to make an positive impact but unsure where to start, here are some some incredible organizations that I’ve been blessed to work alongside, and I invite you to check them out and help them continue to move forward with their goal of making the world an even better place❤️ @cammies_and_canines @jitfosteryouth @stepsocal @opgratitude (at Gaylord-Hansen Mortgage Team at LD) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5nlC_bg9K4/?igshid=m1jmrllt6ibk
