Surfboards and Straw Hats

In my mind, I’m the chick in the Athleta catalog with the easy smile and spontaneous spirit, my dog and surf board and straw hat beside me in the Jeep as we head from the beach to the mountains on our next adventure. I try to relax and get closer to her everyday — and it’s working. With each day’s breath, I feel more at ease in my own skin, believing more firmly than ever that anything is possible, that I can be whoever I desire if I set my mind to it.

And you — who do YOU want to be today? Tear off the labels others slap on you and let go of the expectations of what they think you should be doing. Your future is in your hands. You shape your reality. You are not stuck!
