3+7=10. I am 10 cat years 🙈 thank you so much for every birthday wish this weekend from Laos to California. Your love is felt and my heart is filled with utmost gratitude 🙏🏼 All glory to the Father for every breath and moment in my story 🙏🏼☝🏼🥰🙌🏼 God is so good. He is faithful and He has redeemed my life and blessed my family. Got to spend the weekend in San Diego with my closets friends & family in a city my heart feels most at home. Saturday morning started with an awesome surf sesh, shark tacos from my favorite fish shop in Pacific Beach, joined my parents in LA for a shopping adventure in which we picked out Dad’s retirement gift to himself lol. Ended the epic day with dinner at my favorite restaurant with one of my favorite Gals, and a surprise dessert visit from a bro I love teasing. (... and how cool I got to surf next to Skip Fry in the water yesterday, a shaper and surfer legend in PB 😱) My real bday is today and we are celebrating a Laotian tradition called “Som Maa” which typically takes place during Lao New Year. We ask our elders, grandparents and parents for forgiveness for all our past offenses. A time of forgiveness and blessings. Grateful for my beautiful culture. I don’t need much in life, no fancy things, though it’s ok to occasionally indulge 🤪All I desire is unconditional love and through Christ I received that gift... then the struggle to give the same love away 😬 * * * * #april28 #birthday #love #family #friends #sandiego #surflife #blessed #hope #faith #love
Just 72hrs from my Birthday and can’t think of a better way to kickstart the Birthday weekend than speaking at a conference in one of my favorite cities. Excited to be in #portland, but kinda sad it’s only for 18hours. Really looking forward to sharing on the topic of how knowing your identity leads to discovering your purpose in life with 500+ high school students. Thank you Katie Chanthakhoun and the AAYLC team for this opportunity! Loving the theme of #BeReal #keynotespeaker #purpose #identity #authenticity #hope #faith #love
❤️ A reminder to: Always respond with love #heythursday #love #respondwithkindness #overcomeobstacles
Happy #Easter from #BerkeleyHills. It’s a stunning and warm day in the bay! Grateful for the Gregory’s for hosting this Easter Brunch, grateful that Christ rose on the third day 🙏🏼
It’s so easy to overbook ourselves on the weekend. Even if it is fun brunches, family, friends, hikes, bikes, getaways. Don’t forget to schedule that YOU time! When you can be with yourself, your thoughts, checkin with your heart, what it needs and what it’s telling you. Being still is so important, it’s that scared time in which you pay attention to no ones else. Be good to the person you’re stuck with 24/7 🥰 #rest #heysaturday

Happy Birthday to one of the most resilient souls I know! @nichole_andrea I love you 😘 #besties👭
Restoration & #gratitude fill my heart today. I’m grateful because God is restoring tangible & intangible loss and it has been the most heart wrenching and beautiful story of redemption. Everything is full circle, serendipitous and full of irony. I’m also grateful for the past two years in San Diego, never thought that time with family and friends would turn out to be such golden moments of deep love. Home is not a place, it’s where your heart is. * * * * Deut. 30:3-6 God, your God, will restore everything you lost; he'll have compassion on you; he'll come back and pick up the pieces from all the places where you were scattered. No matter how far away you end up, God, your God, will get you out of there and bring you back to the land your ancestors once possessed. It will be yours again. He will give you a good life and make you more numerous than your ancestors. God, your God, will cut away the thick calluses on your heart and your children's hearts, freeing you to love God, your God, with your whole heart and soul and live, really live.
