So very grateful for this life I get to live and this earth school I get to learn in. Yesterday I spent my afternoon writing about all the things I’m grateful for. May sound cheesy but it sure does brighten up my day. I was in a little bit of a rut and it shifted me right out of. . Today I’m grateful that our film @likenothinghappenedfilm is screening at the @mspfilmsociety international festival over the next 8 days and we also just got word we’ve been accepted into the @wemakemovies International Film Festival. . If you live in Minnesota, click the link in my bio to purchase a ticket to watch our shorts block. We’re on page 3 in the Virtual Shorts: MN Made Dramas 1. I look forward to continuing to share our story with more of you as our film continues to travel the country. 🎥🌍✨
It took 8 weeks to harvest these little guys. They received a lot of care and attention each and every day. 🍅 The thing I’ve learned the most about this year has been patience. Patience in growing a garden. Patience in building a relationship. Patience with myself as I navigate my triggers, fears and desires. Patience with my career and creating art. I can tell you first hand, I have tried multiple times to rush the process and force things to fit. It never worked in my favor. Now, I’ve learned to trust the process and give everything in my life the space and time it needs to grow and thrive. I’m finally seeing that trust, intention and patience spring forth an abundant garden in my life. Good things take time. 😉 This photo was taken by the talented @kevybaby_socal and my gardening partner in crime. 🌱 #tomatoes #veggiegarden
I’ve been thinking about this post for awhile now. I’ve had many conversations on what this 4th of July “should” signify, what to post about, or how to celebrate. The significance of this 4th of July for me is the freedom to continually have conversations with all the people in my life about all aspects and structures of our society, how to behave within them, and how to improve upon them. That is most certainly something I can celebrate, the freedom and openness to express our views and learn from each other. We all see the world through a different lense, we should be able to express our ideas and have an open dialogue without being attacked by either side. We shouldn’t be canceling each other out. When we shut each other out and put each other down, we can’t fix our country’s problems. If we can’t come together, how do we expect the rest of the world to? This year, I’m celebrating the America I envision for us all. #futureofamerica #futureisbright . Watch @krystalmball and @esaagar on Rising @thehill on @youtube to see how it’s done. 🇺🇸 . Also, huge shoutout to @kevybaby_socal for these beautiful pics. You make my heart happy. Grateful and blessed to have you in my life. 📸💞 . Be safe out there this weekend everyone. 😎

It’s okay to take time to find balance and to listen and learn. If we don’t rest, we can’t regain our strength and if we aren’t quiet, we can’t listen and learn. #itsamarathonnotasprint . I’m learning to find my balance every day. As more gets thrown out into the universe, so many injustices to fight against, going back to work with a pandemic still going on…. every day for me is about breathing and working to incorporate it all while keeping myself mentally stable and grounded. Sending love and light to you all as we work to find solutions without creating more divide between us all. #inthistogether
I had the opportunity to play a doctor on TV once, and I can only imagine the stress and responsibilities the real ones carry on their shoulders. I wanted to take today to thank all the healthcare workers who have put their lives on the line and worked tirelessly during these difficult times. . Also, I wanted to personally thank the nurses and physicians at @valleypresbyterian and the Healthline Medical Group, the urgent care and the E.R. I visited last week. The staff at both establishments were incredibly helpful and kind. I had the most severe bout of food poisoning with the most excruciating pain I had ever experienced. Thank you @kevybaby_socal for driving me everywhere as I was laid out in your back seat. So grateful for amazing neighbors/friends and community. 😘 #communitylove
Happy Sunday y’all! Hope you all did something good for yourselves this weekend. That’s a margarita I’m enjoying in hand while sitting six feet away visiting dear friends today. 😉
Just getting a different vantage point from up here… . I think it’s important to see the world from all angles. We all experience the world differently. In order to understand each other and come together to support each other, it’s important to try to see the world through our brother’s and sister’s eyes. I may never truly understand how someone feels or experiences life, but I can make sure they feel seen and heard. In order to come together and make change, we need to listen to one another and never try to silence someone we don’t agree with. Life is all about learning and growing. Without conversation, we can’t expand our understanding of the world. . I’m still learning how to express all these ideas and views running through my head. Thank you for being patient and understanding while I find the words to thread together to make sense of it all. . 📸 @kevybaby_socal
When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows not the flower- @purposologist 🌺 I’ve transitioned through so many lifestyles looking for the “perfect”environment to dig my roots into. I feel like I’m finally figuring out the right soil mixture, temperature, and watering schedule for this beautiful flower to continually bloom. And I say “perfect” in quotations because nothing is ever perfect. I must continually shift/fertilize to keep my root systems healthy and pull out any weeds that might damage my soil. Never a dull moment in gardening. #mindfulliving 🌱 📸 @kevybaby_socal

Good morning sunshine! Does anyone else feel like they never want to leave their bed these days?
It’s time we saw sex as the truly sacred art that it is. A deep meditation, a holy communion and a dance with the force of creation. – Marcus Allen #tantra

Feeling beautiful has nothing to do with what you look like. – Emma Watson I woke up groggy this morning, slowly rolling out of bed. It wasn’t until I sat down, lit my sage, put on my meditation playlist, played my singing bowl, and dropped into my breath, that I was able to see what a blessing the day truly is. A smile grew across my face as I welcomed it all in. It really is all within our mind. ✨✨✨✨ Blessings to you all for a beautiful weekend ahead! ☀️
Happy Labor Day Weekend Everyone! This queen spent it in the kitchen making her first key lime pie with a homemade graham cracker crust and homemade whipped cream. She’s pretty excited about it if you can’t tell. 😋😜 #madewithlove #homemade #happylaborday THE RECIPE: The Crust: 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs 6 tablespoons of melted butter 1/3 cup of sugar Mix the ingredients and then press tightly into a 9 1/2 inch pie pan. I used the bottom of a measuring cup to pack it in and even it out on the bottom. Bake at 375 degrees for 7 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes. The Filling: 28 ounces of sweetened condensed milk 1/2 cup of sour cream 3/4 cup of key lime juice 1 tablespoon of grated lime zest Whisk together ingredients. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes. Let pie cool slightly before chilling for 3 hours. The Whipped Cream: 1 cup heavy whipping cream 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla Beat together the ingredients for 3-4 minutes at medium speed. You can over whip it. Be careful and watch closely. You want it to form medium peeks. Medium peaks are between soft peaks and stiff peaks. ENJOY!! #recipe
This isn’t a paid advertisement. I just really love finding more ways to live a green life. I’ve been using these products for the past two months and I love everything about them. Plus, it feels really good to help save the planet one load at a time. @truearthmovement is a plastic free, zero water laundry detergent. They help keep 700,000,000 plastic laundry jugs out of the landfills and have 94% less transportation pollution compared to leading-brand liquid and powder detergent. @dryer.balls are organic, eco-friendly, reusable, chemical free and energy efficient. They last for years, over 1000 loads, and they shorten your drying time by 25%, saving you money on your electrical bill. I also love that it’s a female owned company that employs hundreds of other women. I wanted to share in case anyone else feels inspired to make the switch. #greenliving #ecofriendlyproducts #ecofriendlyliving #savetheplanet 🌱 📸 @kevybaby_socal 😘
