When Inspiration Breeds Change

07/21/14

inspiration1

There are so many ways I draw on inspiration in my life.

A big one is travel.

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know I just returned from 10 days in Portugal and Marrakech.

When I travel, I bring my computer along to stay on top of email, but generally, I take a step back from work (hence, the lack of blog posts). It’s in these quiet, unplugged moments that I gain inspiration and re-fuel my tank so I can power ahead once I get back to life in NYC.

But this trip was different. Different because I felt inspired in another way. I took some time to really think about my health coaching business in a peel-back-the-layers kind of way: we’re talking how I run it, my marketing approach, my brand – everything.

Usually, this is when some big project is born and catchy blog posts or book titles are brainstormed.

Not this time.

This time, something different happened. I had some feelings of being unsettled about the way things are and wanting to make some big changes – shake things up.

In these moments, when things quiet down and our intuition speaks, we have to pay attention. These are the feelings that drive change and propel us forward. It’s brushing them under the carpet that keeps us stuck.

I’ve had a busy year.

I’ve learned to say “no” more often and have even pushed a lot of my own ideas and desires aside while we plan the wedding of our dreams.

But if the thoughts I had on vacation mean anything, I have a feeling that change is coming, it won’t be tomorrow or even in 6 months, but I have a feeling big things are on their way … and I hope you’ll come along with me.

Three Summers ago my family and I came to Chicago Three Summers ago my family and I came to Chicago and there wasn't so much as a matcha cafe in sight. Now, so much matcha, so little time. Swipe through for my thoughts in each caption. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’‹๐Ÿต

The cafe itself had the cutest decor. The matcha had no flavor and all I could taste was the almond milk. 

Refreshing and not too sweet. The blueberry lemonade was the overarching flavor followed by the more bitter matcha. Perfect balance. 

Just a strawberry matcha. Nothing special and not the best I've had. 

This was an authentic Japanese spot with a premium matcha experience. They hand whisk it in front of you  and explain how they make it. I picked up a few tips. The matcha was authentic and rich. Only oat and whole milk options. 

Hand whisking and explaining the process in detail. 

Not a huge fan on oat milk in matcha because I think it overpowers the flavor. Overall, this was the most authentic like you'd get in Japan. 

Tbh, this was a basic coffee shop matcha but I loved the coffee shop itself. I made the mistake of agreeing that the syrup which was a sweetener. I don't like sweetened matcha so that knocked a star off. 

The most underwhelming of all. Drinkable but basic. Not bad, but I had too many other really good ones to measure against. 

This place has it all. The vibe, tbe energy, the neighborhood, the creative drinks, the community and a nice staff. 

This was the most delicious matcha I would give this place 1000 stars if I could. 

The place was bustling but they kept it moving and the staff was friendly despite the crowds and heavy drink orders. 

An authentic matcha experience with a modern edge. Seriously the best matcha and experience I've had at a matcha cafe.
