27
Last week I celebrated my 27th birthday. While I love the celebratory, loving spirit of this time of year, I always tend to dwell a little too much on what I haven’t accomplished yet rather than what’s to come. It’s not a good habit, and I’m trying to break it. In that spirit, here are 27 things that I am so very grateful for accomplishing during the past year.
- Finally moving to Los Angeles
- Keeping up with my yoga practice
- Paying for my first apartment all on my own
- Getting my credit card debt in order
- Learning to love my body (still an ongoing battle but I’m learning!)
- Treating myself to fresh flowers
- Consciously making new friends
- Bettering my relationship with my parents
- Eating less junk food and feeding my body what it really needs
- Transitioning into a new job successfully
- Setting more goals & taking them seriously
- Learning to appreciate the small joys & beauties in life
- Taking more photographs
- Making and sticking to a realistic budget
- Staying positive even in the toughest times
- Watching less television
- Taking the time to send handwritten notes to loved ones
- Learning to handle my emotions and not cry as much (that’s a big one!)
- Writing more and in different styles
- Learning that it really is better to have loved & lost than never loved at all
- Working to keep up with distant friends and knowing that it does take effort
- Drinking less and enjoying life more
- Putting myself out there
- Working to make my dreams come true with inspired action
- Waking up earlier and making the most of my days
- Reading more
- Keeping up with this blog :)

Alexander Korzer – Robinson
I’m always intrigued by artists who find original ways of expressing themselves. While I often feel I have so much to express, I’m constantly stumped as to how to do it; my mind simply goes toward writing or drawing and I often times feel unfulfilled. It’s always inspiring to see fresh forms of work, and Alexander Korzer-Robinson has completely captivated my imagination. A few years ago, I found his work scary – now, maybe because I’m older (?) I find it whimsical. Using old books, he creates narrative collages as a way of representing the inner self for the viewer to dive into. As if the use of books wasn’t nostalgic enough, Alexander only uses images found within the book creating a specific world that each viewer will remember differently. While we reflect within the book, we are the book, finding our own personal sentiment with what is only on the inside.

A New Day
We don’t always have time to cook a huge, delicious breakfast and hit up a yoga class before our day starts. I believe your entire day can very much go in the direction of however it begins so I try to follow these steps to ensure it’s the best!
1. Wake up, do not press snooze.
2. Do not press snooze more than once.
3. Eat a healthy, filling breakfast. I’m partial to yogurt & blueberries or oatmeal.
4. Coffee is heavenly, but try to stick to tea after one cup.
5. Plan an outfit that makes you feel like a boss.
6. Pack essentials so you’re prepared for the day. (Headphones, a change of shoes, sunnies, a healthy snack, etc.)
7. Put a smile on your face and a good attitude in your mind.
8. Work it like that hustler that you are.
