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.

I was in the West Village for an event and hadn't had my matcha fix yet. I passed Aoko and made a mental note. 

Then I proceeded to pass many more matcha cafes with long lines. 

Aoko didn't have a line and it seemed authentic to me. Also, I recalled hearing good things. 

The vibe was a little sterile. You order off a screen and there's a huge selection of matcha drinks and ice cream. Then wait for your number to be called. 

I chose the Coconut Matcha Cloud. There was no description on the screen and the actual drink looked nothing like the photo. 

It was a cloud of whipped matcha floating on top of coconut water with tapioca-like shapes on the bottom. 

My expectations were low. But I ended up being pleasantly surprised. Once the whipped matcha mixed with the coconut water, it was incredibly creamy and I could tell the matcha was high quality. 8.5/10. I'll be back to try the regular matcha latte. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’‹๐Ÿต

This is a new-to-me boutique jewelry brand. The pieces are stunning, hold meaningful affirmations and are just incredibly wearable.

I even got to meet the Founder @jennlow.wco who explained the meaning and inspiration behind the pieces.

There were so many beautiful pieces to layer and try on. I chose the Heart Locket Necklace to take home.

Inside it says "follow your heart" and it can be worn open or closed though I like it opened best.

I was also eyeing the You are Magic Medallion Locket.

So I bought that too!

Such a fun morning in the West Village! I can't wait to wear my new jewelry! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’‹๐ŸชŽ #wcocommunity
There is so much beauty and nature in and around N There is so much beauty and nature in and around NYC and so much to see and do. We've been taking advantage of the perfect weather and venturing beyond our neighborhood with Valentina to show her all this incredible city has to offer. Last weekend was @metcloisters and @forttryonpark , which brought me back to 2007 in the city when I would circumnavigate Manhattan on my bike starting at the East River down to the The Battery and up the Hudson River to The Cloisters and Fort Tryon Park then back down the East River through Harlem- a 30 mile round trip. We enjoyed a long walk and explored the stunning gardens inside the park before perusing the museum. The perfect way to spend a holiday Monday. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’‹๐Ÿฐ
