#chasejoy

Fall in love with cities you’ve never seen and versions of yourself you haven’t met yet. Your comfort zone is a liar. Your schedule is your jailer. Stop thinking your best memories will come after retirement. Joy doesn’t wait until you’ve earned it. It rewards the ones who chase it before they’re “ready.

For those of you who know me know that I’m a list maker. I write to do lists nearly everyday of my life and I have lists in my bullet journal, in @evernote , random emails that I send myself at 3am, and a few post-its at my home and office. 🗒✏️ During my last year at @tamu , I famously made a list of all the things that I wanted to do before I left #Texas and stuck it on my refrigerator (road trips to Luchenbach and the Mexican border were among the list). 😎 When I was 35 years of age, I went through a particularly bad breakup.. and thereafter for the next year I just focused on doing things each day that brought me joy... it was then that I fell in love with street art and made time for cooking classes and watching off-off-off Broadway shows. Despite the heartache, I found parts of me that I didn’t know that existed and a renewed passion for life. 🔺 I’ve found myself lately missing that adventurous part of me again- the girl who would bikeride several miles to chase a #mural or hunt down rooftop bars that I wanted to try. 🔹 I’m working on a list of things that I want to do to chase joy.... ▪️ If you made this list, what would you include? #chasejoy (at Cari's Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/COStL0fFa8j/?igshid=1wctgtfaqm1o7

One of the first DIY projects I did when we bought this house was this bulletin board in the back of a cabinet door. I filled it with pictures and letters from my first Target store. I cannot tell you how many fun times I had at Target and met so many amazing people. I went for experience and paycheck, but what I left with was relationships that I truly value. Glad to include these peeps in my weird little tribe. Looking at this brings a smile to my face every time. #tribemates #triggerhappythoughts #chasejoy #richjoy (at Fort Worth, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuMViuyl19W/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1a2ofa55y9ca1

Do not trust the voices (in your head or outside of it) that tell you that you don't deserve to live a life of pure joy and abundance.
