Mhmm

(image via we heart it)

Yes, I'm tired. Lately, I feel like I've been going non-stop. I'm either in Eugene or Portland (or somewhere in between) working one of my three jobs and my goodness am I tired. I love what I do and am very grateful to have such wonderful work, but sometimes it just wears you out. And, as a result of my busy schedule I haven't made time to blog. I have lots of things I want to say, just not a lot of time to get my thoughts together. Please come again soon and I promise to be more entertaining!

San Francisco Dreaming

Lately I've been dreaming of San Francisco and when I'll be able to visit all my friends and the beautiful places I used to frequent. Here are a few of my favorite photos from my time there.

The view from Coit Tower.

Berkeley Hills.

Seals at Pier 39. Love 'em.

Grocery store we stumbled upon in Potrero Hill.

My walk to work.

Tennessee beach. A hidden treasure my friend, Melissa, shared with me.

Weekend Getaway 3.20

My goodness the past few weeks have been overwhelmingly busy. So busy that I haven't had time to tell you about all the things I've been doing! And, by all the things I've been doing I mean mostly work, but I did go on a little adventure last weekend. Saturday I was supposed to be at an event, but when the schedule changed I was unable to attend and therefore had my afternoon free. This rarely happens, so I took full advantage of the gorgeous sunny day and headed to Sisters with Jesse.

Jesse and I love rock climbing and not long ago we came across a place to boulder in Sisters, so we went to check it out. The drive was beautiful and the location for bouldering was more amazing than we had imagined. I can't wait to go back!

As you can see it's absolutely gorgeous in Central Oregon and I'm starting to think I should live there. :)

Inspiration

I love Kelly Cutrone and I want a woman like her in my life. She's such a hard ass and that's what I love about her. I recently finished reading her book, If You Have To Cry, Go Outside, and highly recommend it. Here are a couple of my favorite quotes, both found here.

"I'm a really big believer that we all have this voice inside of us, and that voice is God talking to us, and we are all magical, and we all have something as specific to do as our fingerprint. And everybody should go out and do that. And I think between the ages of 15 and 32, don’t worry about getting married, don’t worry about settling down, don’t worry about having a baby. Give birth to yourself."

"Your dreams are ballbusters; they’re not the yellow brick road, and you have to really understand, most of our life we’re following this carrot to find out who we’re not. Allow yourself the chance to make a lot of mistakes. And after you do, pick yourself up and keep on trying, ‘cause if I quit every time I was bad at something, I probably wouldn’t have made it through high school, so keep going."
