Not sure if it was all the TLC I listened to this week but waterfalls were definitely a perfect addition to this birthday weekend for #robhatessocialmedia

Blind Consumption πŸ˜” 
First off, shout-out to the individuals, @bcorps, global organizations like @sierraclubfoundation and @plasticfreecayman doing their part and working hard to educate others.

Experiencing this firsthand had me shattered. And sadly, there are many in the world who are forced to live alongside this every. single. day.

It's easy to forget a plastic water bottle or old pair of @Nikes, but it's hard to grasp what shores lined with garbage or an 87 ton trash gyre in our ocean looks or feels like. Our world population is *3x* greater in the past 100 years than the entire previous history of humanity. While it's certainly not slowing down this devistation, as individuals we can all do even small things to live more sustainably, educate our youth and inspire more organizations to operate sustainability. This absolutely includes myself.

While I'm fortunate to take my work around the globe and capture incredible stories and cultures, this is also the very stark reality of what sometimes goes unpublished. 
One of my favorite environmental documentaries is #180degreessouth - give it a go and share your favorites my way!

While peacefully enjoying these weekend work views, I couldn't help but hear the song "Lean Wit It" in my head everytime I looked at this palm. 🌴 .

I trust this next chapter because I know the author. 🌸 
The man at the flower store handed me a rose named "Free Spirit" It was only fitting as I blossom into this next decade. ✨ 
What a wild ride our 20s are! The journey was seldom perfect, frequently chaotic and commonly spontaneous, yet every bit served a purpose. I learned a lot, I loved deeply, I traveled far, I grew professionally, I took risks, I made mistakes, and most importantly, I found my person.πŸ’• While in closing, twenty-nine was one of my best years, it was also one of the hardest. Life all seemed to happen at once. Building a business, planning a wedding, learning a new life away from my home and how to be a good partner, caring for aging parents, natural disasters, creative burnout, worry for the world...It all required the resilience and empowerment built over past decades to take shape, yet it certainly wasn't always graceful. It taught me tremendously about the type of organization I want to lead, the type of people I want to work with/share my time with, and served as a reminder that true friends and family really ARE EVERYTHING. πŸ™Œ
So to my 20's - thank you. For teaching me [us] that every heartache, rejection, and loss are only stepping stones leading to a more purposeful path, one that is more adaptable and forgiving to change. 
And to the 20-somethings out there, be gentle with yourselves, we've got a lifetime ahead of us! (Also - go play outside.) 3️⃣0️⃣

Be Gentle | My newest mantra. 
___________
My Dad says this to me everytime we say goodbye. While at first I chalked it up as yet another "Bob-ism," the phrase grew to have tremendous meaning in my approach to present life. 
____________
Recently, I feel I've lived on the opposite side of this spectrum and adopting this has helped me realize a few key things: β€’ Be gentle with time. The term "hustle" is now used interchangeably with success. Busy is not always better, burn out is at an all time high, and if friendships take longer to navigate than to enjoy, they're likely not worth it. Let events go unattended, posts go unposted, notifications left unnoted - be intentional with how, who, and where you spend time and constantly ask if that time will fulfill your personal and professional goals. β€’ Be gentle with your thoughts. Be mindful of how you analyze things (as a strategist, I love to question WHY/HOW), somethings just are what they are. Only you are in control of your attitude and response to them. #Socialmedia rarely depicts reality, comparing your success to others gets you nowhere and if you allow others to drain your energy, take note and pivot.
_________
As I slowly emerge from what has felt like a year long creative drain, I've realized these key things (amongst others) are what I have allowed to suppress my creativity energy, voice and freedoms. 
Over it. πŸ™Œ
So thanks, Dad. At the tender age of 84, I only wish to absorb as much of this wisdom as possible and never again question "why." #immediatelycallsdad

Also - lots more creative ventures with friends like @juliecorsettiphotography πŸ’›
