KEEP UP WITH ME ON INSTAGRAM

A client asked me yesterday during a phone call, “do you really love what you do? I mean, do you actually wake up and are happy with what you do?”
_
Although she couldn’t see, I had the biggest smile on my face when I heard her ask me because I can proudly say that yes, yes I truly love my life.
_
It isn’t the trips, the opportunities or even the money that makes me love doing this.
It’s the fact that I hit rock bottom the very first year I quit the corporate world, which taught me to be resilient and tested my determination.
It’s all those “no’s” I received from brands who didn’t think I was ready, which forced me to work 10x harder and to stay persistent.
It’s having people walk out of my life and having to walk out of theirs because we outgrew each other, but realizing this is what self growth is about.
It’s the lessons that I continue to learn from running my own business, to pushing my creative boundaries and comfort zone, and being able to share these realities with you so you guys don’t have to repeat my mistakes.
_

But most of all, I love what I do because of the fact that I’ve had the most intimate conversations with complete strangers who somehow decided to trust me enough to come and talk to me about their problems. It’s being able to inspire, to motivate, and to help others find their strength and courage to chase their passions as well. And to be able to connect worldwide with people off a platform, make new friends, and work with brands that I truly believe in .. that is why I love what I do and I do not regret ever leaving my 9-to-5 to pursue this.

It wasn’t easy but nothing worthwhile is right?

Now if you need me, I’ll be typing away because I’m about 6 blog posts behind and need to have everything published by Friday 😂 #istilllovemyjobtho

Daydreaming about these wings from The Bar at @hotelzachary.
_
The wings are coated with a sauce consisting of honey from Brazil and soy sauce straight from Japan. It had a nice kick to it and left me wanting more. A must-have if you’re ever around the area (its across the street from Wrigley Field).

When you just finished watching Ocean’s Eight and start wondering which one of your friends are truly your ride & dies 🤔

Wish I could’ve taken my family here for Father’s Day, maybe next time!

Tried out The Bar at @hotelzachary this past week and fell in love. From decor to dishes, this place is a home run in my books 😜 Oh and they’re right across from Wrigley Field.
