Write Your Own Story. Walk Your Own Path.

I am a firm believer that we are all meant to embrace our uniqueness in life. That was a really tough lesson for me to learn as I grew up. Unlike my husband, I had a hard time finding my footing socially and struggled with accepting myself.

Into the Wild

2018 has been a year of growth and change. Both for the business, but also for me personally. I am learning a lot about my strengths, my weaknesses, and the ability to navigate through them equally. I have also reconnected with my instincts in a way I didn’t necessarily expect in my mid thirties.

Over the years, I have gotten tattoos in various cities I have lived to mark certain moments in my life. I have the word Always written over my left chest because I always follow my heart. I have Julio’s heartbeat over my right chest to remind me that despite everything in life (and relationships), love is as simple as the soothing heart beating of someone special. I have a red rose on my right wrist because it reminds me every time I write something down to ensure it would be something my Dad would be proud of – it was his favourite flower. I have a quote from my ex fiance on my lower ribs to remind me that everyone deserves to be forgiven, even myself. And finally (bet you didn’t know I had so much ink!) those three hearts you see in photos of Catherine & I’s hands. It’s to mark a long standing friendship with one other woman – the three of us will always carry each other after over 15 years of friendship. So why am I talking to you about tattoos and how they mean something to me you ask? Good question.  Continue reading “Into the Wild”
