Happiest of Birthdays to the most amazing mom, super wife and #bestfriend. I’m so proud of the woman you’ve blossomed into, the beauty of your heart and the jokes you crack every moment you‘re awake 😜 i love who you are and everything about you! @vayakone you’re the most talented creative I call friend, but really you are family! I can’t wait to travel with you again once we give birth to this thing: LV, I’m sorry I couldn’t be there for this trip. There in spirit! #loveyousomuch #sisterhood #laogirlswhodream

#30daysofgratitude #challenge I’m not sure if it’s tied to the heart of gratitude, but I want to make that link of faith. There have been good days and worst days, but in just a weeks time I’ve been attracting the desires of my heart effortlessly. Whether that be partnerships, divine connections, resources, weight goals, the universe has been pouring out such goodness and joy for even more gratitude. Now, this is the miracle. During the 30 day period, I began to feel alive, a pervasive sense of joy. This sense of joy was completely unattached to whether or not my life was going the way I wanted it to. I simply began to feel blissful most of the time. I was truly happy just to be alive. (Katherine Thomas) — Dear God, Thank you for reciprocating my heart of abundance with your abundance. Thank you for holding no good thing from me. Thank you even for the tough days you used to bless me. I am grateful for every soul I’ve met from LA to San Diego and every city in between in the past 7 days. I am grateful for the collaborations to come with these souls. I’m grateful for every guy who’s broken my heart because it’s caused me to love even more. * * * * * #heartofgratitude #innerpeace #innerbeauty #hope #faith #love #thankful #perspective #abundance #mindset #sharingamy #fitness #nike
#30daysofgratitude #challenge It’s easy to focus on “what we don’t have” after scrolling through our feed and comparison quietly seeps in — I don’t have that body, I don’t have enough love, I don’t have enough time, I don’t have that relationship... but our constant attentiveness to lack doesn’t create abundance - it actually perpetrates the deficiency mindset. Gratitude shifts our perception from what we don’t have to what we do have, increasing our sense of abundance & appreciation. Thereby attracting more of both 🤗 — I am grateful for the Rock’s microsite at La Jolla Shores every Sunday where we can love on surfers, beach goers & their families. I’m grateful that God answered a prayer in helping my cousins find new housing arrangement. I’m grateful for creativity and the freedom to share our creations. I’m thankful for divine connections I have yet to meet! * * * * * #heartofgratitude #innerpeace #innerbeauty #hope #faith #love #thankful #perspective #abundance #mindset #sharingamy #innerwholeness #gratitude
#30daysofgratitude #challenge Gratitude is a powerful tool that keeps our heart soft. It breaks the entitlement mindset and avoids the calloused attitude from arising in places of unmet desires. Gratitude can fill our hearts daily so we aren’t operating from a place of lack or needing ______ (fill in the blank). — Today I am grateful for the day to celebrate my best friend’s son’s birthday, a time to share in their family’s life celebrations. I’m grateful to have connected with a beautiful soul over a 3hour chai tea latte conversation last night. I am grateful for the limited time we have on this earth because it motivates me to do what I love and not what is expected. * * * * * #heartofgratitude #innerpeace #innerbeauty #hope #faith #love #thankful #perspective #abundance #mindset #sharingamy #truebeauty
#30daysofgratitude #challenge Day 2: I’m beginning to understand the power of giving thanks — It fills you up with hope for when life chooses to drain you. When I decided to do this experiment yesterday, I didn’t expect that after 5 pages of giving thanks, the rest of my day would be filled with unpleasant obstacles derailing my todo list for at least a week and surrendering me emotionally and mentally exhausted by 8pm 🏳️ C’est la vie! A heart of gratitude gives you an extra supply of love for when you need to stand 1000xs taller. — Dear God Thank you for protecting my heart during trying times. Thank you for reminding me who I am, that my identity is in Christ not what other ppl say or believe. I’m always grateful for the ocean, a place of peace, solace and adventure... — * * * * * #heartofgratitude #innerpeace #innerbeauty #hope #faith #love #thankful #perspective #abundance #mindset #giving #surfersparadise #solanabeach #kookie
#30daysofgratitude #challenge Today is a good day, as any, to start a 30-day challenge, filling 5 journal pages of everything small to big I am grateful for “just as they are.” Giving thanks every where my feet take me because gratitude is an inner map that instructs the Universe how to respond to us. Gratitude shifts our perception from what we don’t have to what we do have. This is what Jesus meant when he said, “To him who has, more shall be given.” —- Dear God Thank you for creation, this beautiful city, the vastness of its ocean and the blessing to call it home. Thank you for my large and lao’d family, the amazing food we cook and how we’re always there for each other. Thank you that I haven’t been stung by a stingray while surfing, even when I float right over them. Thank you for the weight gain from eating too much pho and donuts because now I get to work extra hard at the gym and cook healthy meals again. Thank you that even though I’m not where I want to be, I’m well on the way. Thank you that nothing is impossible with you..... — * * * * * #heartofgratitude #innerpeace #innerbeauty #hope #faith #love #thankful #perspective #abundance #mindset #giving #hochiminhtrail #lajolla #sandiego
