Sun Kissed while feeling inspired by.....well it's a bit complicated...

Hey babes----

First of all, I want to apologize for not having posted since April! I have been so busy with life, traveling, and everything in between...

to be honest, I have about 4 drafts of posts that I have written but haven't been truly proud or passionate about any of them.

but I think I finally found something that I am ready to share... so here it goes :) 

I have been out of the facebook loop for awhile, but I finally had a minute to log in and scroll through the mass amounts of VIDEOS (who knew facebook was full of videos now???) but something caught my eye. 

an old high school acquaintance posted this article about her older sister being a badass and to check out her published article----obviously these types of things come up ALL the time but I felt compelled to give it a read:

what I read was truly inspiring and amazing and about her relationship with YOGA GIRL.

she talks about the power of social media and the "Brathen Effect"

the importance of doing business but with a heart, doing things that scare the sh*t out of you, and the power of vulnerability....but something that really caught my attention wasn't the five things she learned from YOGA GIRL. 

instead, the theme of being true to yourself and allowing yourself to feel.

life gets so crazy and sometimes I forget the whole point of my actual intent of LIVING and what it means to ME.

....not what it means to those you are around most, your biggest inspiration, FIT-spo model, mom, dad, sister, partner.  

it actually seems like a much easier and simpler route to just go about life like that. but are you really living if you aren't paying attention to your emotions let alone the people around you?

it isn't easy but maybe this article spoke to me because I am reminding myself of the things that are i find important -

balance & authenticity

vulnerability & actual feeling

filling up your fuel tank to even give yourself a chance to get where you are trying to go. 

while reading this I was also reminded me that these things change. being able to recognize when these things inside of you change is hugely impactful! 

call it what you want but taking the time to invest in yourself is extremely important. might be like the Tapatio you put on ... everything?!?! 

...the secret sauce to this crazy roller coaster of life?

click the link to the article - definitely worth a read. 

that's all for now. also ITS FRIDAY. go out and do something that makes you smile and something that makes someone you don't even know smile

the world could ALWAYS use some more of those sunny vibes

XO, COCO

ps. I will try and not let this amount of time go before posting again!!!
