Teaching my son to sew. So far he’s loving it and his first embroidery hoop is coming along beautifully. With the darker evenings closing in he’d like to have a go at some new crafts.

As well as sewing, he’s excited to try working with paracord, have a go at basket weaving and even have a bash at whittling.

Fun times ahead … 😃🪡 🧵 ✂️

Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone: Growth Starts When You Get Uncomfortable

This week, your favourite introverted girl has been pushing herself out of her comfort zone—and let me tell you, it’s been a journey. From memorizing eight French songs for an upcoming performance, collaborating with a band for a live show, showing up to music events (yes, actually showing up), to signing up for an energy exchange program at my favourite dance studio—it's been a wild ride.

I won’t lie, it’s been both rewarding and a struggle. I’ve had to practice a whole lot of self-compassion, patience, and validation just to keep myself grounded. It’s not easy to step into new territory when your natural instinct is to retreat to safety. You see, I have this personal rule: never make plans when I’m super happy or super sad. But when I committed to all these things, I ignored that rule and the inner voice that kept shouting, “No! and just said “yes.”

Why? Because lately, my mindset has shifted. Lately, I’ve been embracing the whole “Why not?” attitude. My new way of thinking is: “Why not?” and, “So what if I fail? At least I tried.” I won’t know what I’m capable of unless I push my boundaries. Failure is no longer something to fear—it’s a learning opportunity. And here’s the thing—if something doesn’t work out, maybe it’s not because it wasn’t meant for me, but because I just need to try a different approach.

Comfort = Stagnation. Being comfortable, at least in my experience, is a sign of stunted growth. I’ve grown so much by putting myself in uncomfortable, unfamiliar spaces. I’ve learned how capable I am when I challenge myself. Growth happens when you’re a little bit (or a lot) uncomfortable. Two years ago, I could blame my romantic relationship for holding me back, but this year, I realized: the only thing standing in my way is me.

So here’s the takeaway—I’d rather go out there, give it a shot, and maybe fall flat on my face, than sit around wondering, “What if?” I’d rather stumble while moving forward than sit back and wonder, What if? Growth happens when you step into the unknown. Growth comes from action, not from playing it safe. Don’t let the fear of failure keep you stagnant. You might just surprise yourself with what you’re capable of!

"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone."

What’s your comfort zone keeping you from? Maybe it’s time to stretch a little—and see what happens.

Step out of your comfort zone today and see what magic happens. 🌱✨

#Repost @mnbeerdrinker77 Have you ever tried a Gueuze? A what?? A Gueuze (pronounced Gooz) is a lambic beer that is made by blending new and old lambics. I had never had one before, but I’m totally sold on it now! Last night I had the joy of opening Güz from @turnagainbrewing (Anchorage, Alaska). It’s their 4th anniversary beer, and wow was it impressive! They blended beers that were 1, 2, and 3 years old to create this beauty. Super light, tart, refreshing, and quite elegant. A solid sipper! Took me about 10 minutes to get the cork out of the bottle, but it was so worth it! Cheers, and Happy #thirstythursday! 🍻 #alaska #alaskabeer #anchoragealaska #beerporn #knowledgeispower #beertastingclub #gueuze #lambic #wildfermentation #barrelagedbeer #beerisart #beergift #beermakesmehappy #trynewthings #beerloversarroundtheworld #cheers #beersofinstagram #beerme #mnbeerdrinker77 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj8IcMirBqV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Before yellowstone I had only been to one national park in my life. Zions. New bucketlist items = to see as many National Parks as I possibly can. 💚💚 I'm going to make it my mission to start with the ones near me. Utah is known for being close to 5 national parks. It's a shame to have never seen what my region has in store for me. I want to change that! 🌳🌲 @nationalparkservice #nationalpark #yellowstonenationalpark #greatquestforknowledge #nature #nationalparks #greatoutdoors #thingstodo #trynewthings #traveltheworld #livethedream #adventure #campingvibes #wilderness #wildandfree #wildlifeplanet #adventureisoutthere #adventure #adventuretravel #goexplore #travelgoals (at Emerald Pool, Yellowstone National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CScu0ZwlJuj/?utm_medium=tumblr
