We’re only a few months into summertime and already it feels like so much has happened. I started thinking about all the things — some small and some really exciting — that I’ve been able to do recently. Here’s a quick recap of what I’ve been up to the past several weeks ☀️:
• a trip to my favorite beach town in 30a with my favorite people, getting the most epic tan
• visiting our dream plot of land often and starting the process of building our future home
• seeing my business and team explode despite it being a hard last year
• lots of laughs and fun and memories made with my love @kyleauckland
• being able to go on a family vacation & making memories with the Auckland fam
• spending lots of time in the water and in the sunshine
• being able to work from literally anywhere… & from home, too
Making memories this time of year is my absolute favorite. 🍍🏖📸
And honestly, I remember when I prayed 🙏🏽 for the things I have now…
• for the ability to get up and go see family whenever we wanted.
• for the freedom to spend long weekends at the lake or on the beach with Kyle without worrying about going back to work on Monday.
• for the freedom to build my business remotely from wherever we had wi-fi, even if that meant doing a business call on the side of road📍 in the middle of Tennessee. • for the peace to feel present with my people, without the Sunday scaries.
I never want to forget how I felt when I didn’t have these freedoms in my life because my gratitude for every single thing I have now fuels me to help as many people as I can have the same. Sometimes you have to look back to remember all of the small things you prayed for, they’re really the big things.
Whether that’s having the freedom to walk your dogs in the middle of the day, or having the ability to finally peace out of a job you hate and work your side hustle full time… Never stop making the important things in your life the priority.
Speaking of important things in my life, I have to share my new go-to smoothie recipe that helps me feel my best and nourish my body. Check it out and let me know if you give it a try!
my go-to smoothie🥛
+ frozen fruit of choice – I love mango, cherries, berries, and peaches.
+ pastured whole milk
+ coconut water
+ scoop of @crucialfour pearl powder
+ scoop of @ancientnutrition collagen
+ scoop of @monatofficial total greens
& I *love* adding bee pollen on top!
Blend well. I use our new vitamix, and it’s a game changer 🙌🏽
This smoothie is loaded with minerals, vitamins, yummy carbs, protein in the collagen… while sneaking in 37 fruits and veggies. Yum.
