Real success is in the process of failing over and over (and over again). Reminder for myself: Failure is REQUIRED for growth. «No es el crítico el que cuenta; no el hombre que señala al fuerte que tropieza, o comenta donde el que hizo, pudo haberlo hecho mejor. El crédito pertenece al hombre que está realmente en la arena, cuya cara se mancha de polvo, sudor y sangre; que lucha valientemente; que se equivoca, que falla una y otra vez, porque no hay esfuerzo sin error y defecto; pero que de igual forma se esfuerza por hacer; que conoce el gran entusiasmo y las grandes devociones; que se entrega a si mismo en una causa justa; quien en lo mejor conocerá al final el triunfo de los altos logros, y quien a lo peor, si falla, por lo menos fallará atreviéndose, para que su lugar nunca sea con esas almas frías y tímidas que nunca conocieron ni victoria ni derrota» – Theodore Roosevelt #DareGreatly #VulnerabilityIsTrueStrength #BeSeen #ThePowerOfVulnerability #FoodForThought #HangOnToTheGoodStuff https://youtu.be/iCvmsMzlF7o https://www.instagram.com/p/B6QaTRHoBeZ/?igshid=d5h1ze8b5bht

Some people stop at the tavern on the way home. I opt for Peet’s Coffee. An especially intense day called for the addition of a cinnamon roll. . I love my students dearly; one really is pushing on me in a provocative way. Took everything I had to stay true. The great thing about being a teacher is knowing you don’t have all the answers. And sometimes you feel grossly inept. If I have one strength, it’s that I know that this can be a huge opportunity for growth. . A very wise woman once told me, “When you are in a state of fear, it’s impossible to experience love; but when yo are in a state of love, then it is impossible to experience fear.” I choose love. I try. . #thepowerofvulnerability #keeponkeepingon #idonotgiveupeasily #wewillfindaway #justlikesamandfrodo (at Peet's Coffee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6Mu2GtDZZ6h1GfATjppAfY7kRuDMMCH1AxoTc0/?igshid=7pd6zei7esgw

It's been almost 3 months and I miss my mom more and more every day. The last conversation I had with her. I told her I loved her and missed her and was worried like crazy. That I wish she would move in with me or near me and let me take care of her. Because i didn't know what I would do if something happened to her. This might seem like a normal conversation. But whoever knows me well knows my mom and i didnt always have a good relationship and that I'm awful at expressing my true feelings. My weightloss journey was a complete mental health journey. I've been learning all the same stuff I've been trying to teach yall about loving yourself and in turn loving others. My mom had turned into my best friend and the thought of losing her made me beg her to come stay with me the last time we talked. Her own pride and insecurities (i am my mothers daughter after all) had led her to believe she would just be a burden on me. She couldn't understand that i wanted her so bad the same why mine wouldn't let me tell her. My mom died doing her laundry to come stay with me. Her friend and i had both been offering to buy her ticket and i guess she finally agreed. She went to do her laundry at a friends house and had a heart attack and died right there. I feel a little bit of peace because in the end we both had finally let go of our own problems and learned the importance of being vulnerable, letting go of pride & ego, and trusting. We had both taught each other and let each other experience unconditional love. My mom had a very rough, very sad life. And in some ways we've walked similar paths. The only thing is, she's gone now. And I'm still here. It makes sense though. You're supposed to get better with every generation. So im learning her lessons 20 years earliers so i dont have to walk the path she walked. I don't have to carry my demons anymore. I think she took those and her own to the grave with her. #thepowerofvulnerability #beinginthemoment https://www.instagram.com/p/B1anX6Vni4U/?igshid=1wu2dkbhqb4t4

Happy Sunday y’all! This is a quote that’s stuck with me for the last few months. As a creative person, this rings true. As someone who keeps a consistent spiritual practice this is true. I was reminded of that in this conference I went to. To remain myself and keep my integrity. To stay true to the reasons why I am the way I am (vegan, creative, and a little too honest). To keep being transparent in my writing and dancing that feels like I’m writing feelings I didn’t know I even had. I am in a constant reminder to stay in a place of vulnerability. In my words, actions, and thoughts. I’m becoming a person who is transparent, which can be scary in this day in age. It may mean I say or let go too much but I’m growing and learning and that is okay. Is it the same for y’all? Let me know. P.S. @brenebrown I might be your biggest fan. You da bestest 😊 #vulnerability #brenebrown #thepowerofvulnerability #selflove #transparent #staytruetoyou #theuniversehasyourback #creative #lawofattraction #dancer #sundaymotivation #blogger #spirituality #spritiual #vegan #beawesome #stayawesome #theatreperson #creativebeing #minimalist #minimalism #lifeblogger #personaldevelopment #abundacecomestomeeasily https://www.instagram.com/p/BttIYu4j3Gn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g35hf4iy42xe
