A Closet Full Of Joy: My Experience With A Personal Stylist

What I’m Reading Now

Instagram

  • So long, San Diego - hello, Vancouver! (Swipe for the sun to snow contrast outside my airplane window!)
  • Looks like a great day for a walking food tour of Carlsbad; one of my favourite ways to get my bearings in a new city is to take a guided tour on foot. This one happens to include samples of local cuisine as well as the company of my friend @sleepless.in.sandiego ❤️
Have you done a walking tour of a city? I’d love to hear! 
#carlsbad #foodie #travel
  • Our visit to Carlsbad has coincided with an unprecedented amount of rain and wind! Travel isn’t always about sitting poolside and soaking in the sun! 
Travel is about being in the moment and accepting what is. It’s about standing at the door with a stranger, watching the downpour and sharing unsettling stories about climate change. Travel is faith in action. It can be romantic and flashy - and one IG photo after another. But it doesn’t have to be. Sometimes it’s messy or quiet and deliciously offline. Whatever it ends up being, it is a part of who you are going forward. A stamp on your soul that says, I was here. I lived.
Travel, like writing, is permission to be curious. To be vulnerable. To see, really see, others. 
Sometimes I get caught up in how imperfect I am. How I mess up in relationships. How I don’t give enough or how I expect too much. But travel, like writing, reminds me that I am a soul doing what I can in this human body and mind. 
At the end of it all, I hope to have collected many stories. ❤️📝
  • You know when you walk through a door like this, you are going to get some AMAZING food and hospitality! And that is exactly what we discovered at Point Break Cafe on Shelter Island this morning. Swipe to see the yummy breakfast my husband and I shared at this ‘greasy spoon’, a favourite of locals.
  • I traded in the Canadian winter for a bike and some palm trees 🌴 #traveltuesday #sandiego
  • Are any two of us even looking in the same direction? 😂 Well, isn’t that the truth about life? We may all have different dreams and goals and needs, but true friends are always there with you...to take a photo in a room full of toilets.
