I came across this short poem a few days ago while looking for fun self-care ideas for fall, and it really struck a chord with me. ‘Silly girl, your different was your beautiful all along.’ ~ Atticus
.
How often do we overlook the things that make us unique, thinking we need to change or fit into someone else’s mold? This is such a beautiful reminder that being different is the beauty.

Don’t know about you but I’m taking this with me into this fall season—loving what sets you/me apart and celebrating it. I hope you do too. 💛
🤔Your skill set is not enough to get you hired 🤨
What do I need to get hired fast?!
So this week is New York fashion week 2024 and the models are out and ready! You’re probably wondering What does this got to do with me coz I am clearly not a model!?
But hey, here’s my two cents on fashion and mindset:
While fashion is a great tool for positive self expression and confidence, it can influence our mindset in a negative way. So? ↙️
*Fashion should be a reflection of your authentic self, not a constant chase for trends or comparison with others.
* By developing a personal style that embraces your body shape, values, and lifestyle, you can use fashion to boost confidence.
* Focus on quality over quantity, invest in pieces that make you feel powerful, and dress for yourself, not for validation.
* When your wardrobe aligns with who you are and how you want to feel, you’ll naturally radiate confidence and self-expression.

If you had a chance to step back into any moment of your life, what would it be? Would you embrace a cherished memory or change a past decision? This video is from a few months ago when we visited lake Elementaita Lodge in Nakuru, Kenya. Goes down on my list as one of my favorite places I’ve been to so far. #LifeReflections

Comparing Yourself to Others
It’s simple to feel like we’re falling short when we constantly compare ourselves to others, especially when we’re inundated with social media’s portrayals of perfection. Feelings of inadequacy, low self-esteem, and lack of confidence may result from this ~ intralifestyle.com
~ slowly accepting that fall is around the corner then the dreaded winter, so cycling around the beautiful Northshore area of Pittsburgh gives me a brief respite from the thoughts of the cold weather.
What if following your passion doesn’t pay the bills?
~ I make videos for a YouTube channel that doesn’t make money …yet 😜 but if you ask me why I keep doing it I’ll say - Your passion doesn't pay you. People pay you. And if you're bringing value to people, they will want to pay you. So 🥂 to showing up consistently! Cheers to working on another video that will impact even just a single person out there ❤️
