I was so self-conscious of how easily I bruise; li I was so self-conscious of how easily I bruise; like, every time I saw someone’s eyes pause on a big ol’ mark I got at jiu jitsu, I needed to have an explanation. I’m learning how to wear them with confidence, so I present this inaugural bruise. #bjjwomen #bjjwhitebelt

Congee, where have you been all my life? After num Congee, where have you been all my life? After numerous recommendations to eat congee in the morning, I finally made it at home last month, and it was… an awful glutinous mess. So, I call up my bestie and she recommends a place in far Seattle called, @secret.congee, omg, that congee is so good you feel it in the root chakra. So now that I know how good congee is, I’ve been experimenting with making it at home. Tips, rinse your rice, and use a good quality long grain, and only about 1/4cup for 6 cups liquid, add aromatics like green onion and ginger, and also a teaspoon of MSG. I’ve been adding those fried and dried onions too.

This holiday card is the result of a lot of person This holiday card is the result of a lot of personal growth. As some of you might know, I'm a freelance brand and web designer and this year has been financial humbling as so much has changed in the market. I didn't setup an official photoshoot because it's just not in the cards financially. I've released a lot of the madness making ideas of what it takes to make a good holiday season, for my friends, family, and kids (older one is with Dad)-- we keep things super simple. It's actually taken having financial constraint of not being able 'to do the things,' that's made me realize what actually brings me joy. So, yesterday, I had a wild idea to go downstairs to our apartment lobby and take photos with this orange chair I had been admiring and Freya and Jarred jumped in with outfit ideas on how we could all coordinate with things we had. We set a phone on the tripod and took some us-ies. A little Canva magic and I can see why my favorite photographers deserve the big bucks, but we have an end-of-year snapshot of life at this moment. Looking forward to days with more light! From our family to yours, Happy Holidays!

I know Thanksgiving has a complicated & gross hist I know Thanksgiving has a complicated & gross history, but the way we choose to use this time can be meaningful. ❤️ Using Pamela Anderson's words as inspiration: "Love is the quality of attention we pay to things." Let's focus on bringing that love and attention to our loved ones. Let's make this a time for connection, gratitude, and presence. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. May we bring love into all the important things, not just tomorrow, but every day.
Celebrating the 9th year since our first date at a Celebrating the 9th year since our first date at a Thai restaurant with some yummy Thai take away. A tradition we’ve kept since making it marriage official 6 years ago. Here’s the thing, my marriage is not a big deal- for him for me, we’re partners and we’re also solidly independent folks living life. We each have strong plutonic friendships, personal development goals, and a share in the group project of raising a kid and having a living space. I love us, I love who I get to be with this much freedom and security. Happy Anniversary to my love, @jarredpalm

This is wild! I woke up this morning and had an in This is wild! I woke up this morning and had an intense desire to sweat 😅. Acted on the urge and got my booty into the gym for a mind altering sweat session followed by a hydro massage and cryotherapy. I use to rely on 🌱to get me into the mood for a workout, but now I’m discovering how I move can get me higher than any peniffer could.
There is a power to surrendering the things we fee There is a power to surrendering the things we feel entitled to as free adults: alcohol and ‘gardening’ being two biggies for folks. I thought you’d have to prey my greens from my cold dead hands, but as I approach some goal milestones with little progress, fire sale, everything goes! There is so much power in sobriety! I don’t hear a lot of spiritually based tools for what to do when we come up short. It’s like the universe is asking, what are you willing to change?
Soft living is for suckers. Hercules didn't become Soft living is for suckers. Hercules didn't become a legend by chilling on a beach. He wrestled lions, slayed hydras, and cleaned some seriously messed up stables (talk about a challenge!). But did you know he actually had a choice? 🤔 Early in his journey, Hercules was visited by two goddesses. One promised him a life of ease and pleasure. The other, Arete, offered him glory, but only through struggle and hardship. Hercules chose the path of challenge, and that's what made him a hero. 💪 Embrace the grind. Earn your rewards. Every tough workout, every extra hour of work, every time you push yourself outside your comfort zone - that's you choosing the path of Hercules. 🌊 But there's more to it than just "toughing it out". True strength comes from accepting the challenge AND letting it change you. Adapt, grow, evolve. That's the way of the flowchaser.

It's a reminder to nurture my relationships and embrace the art of diplomacy (even when "calling people out" on their stuff 😉). Though I'll miss the Libra vibes, I'm excited to see what Scorpio season brings! 🦂

I was the worst at… …giving unsolicited advice I I was the worst at… …giving unsolicited advice I used to be quick to offer unsolicited advice, thinking I was helping. But I’ve come to realize that this behavior often stems from my own insecurities and need for control. Now, I’m working on sitting with my discomfort and respecting others’ autonomy. I’ve found that simply listening and providing support can be more valuable than offering advice. It’s a challenging process, but I’m committed to growing and learning. After all, we’re all on our own unique journeys of self-discovery.

I want to share a toxic pattern I have, that I’ve I want to share a toxic pattern I have, that I’ve committed to cleaning up. I’m not sure the astrological make up of my soul that’s always made me easily persuaded by health & wellness professionals, especially in regard to dieting. I’m not proud of this but I’m fluent in the nuances in practices from The Adkins Diet, whole30, the fast metabolism diet and the many more that have been sold to me as the ‘cure.’ I fully participated in all of that, sometimes benefiting but mostly becoming more confused and sicker. I have an intuition that the first step is to realize the cure is not in a book or a single wellness philosophy, and that I’ll need to do the inner work to stop this pattern. So, I want to create my own health & wellness book, for an audience of myself. Explore what wellness practices jive best, discover how to consume more low-processed foods that reflect my environment and tastes, and movement that feels good.
