Hey lovely!

I want to talk about something very real for me! I used to get obsessed with projects, loves, diets, competitions… I loved my goals, new year resolution and endless to-do lists —set it, chase it, conquer it. After decades of this single-minded stubbornness, I’m transforming fast like the seasons. I don’t do goals anymore. Nope. Instead, I trust the flow of life and keep my heart open with intentions.

When I set a goal, I got all laser-focused and locked in. Sometimes, my stubborn laser focus helps me win, but sometimes that stubbornness fails me big-time. I failed so many times with my ideas, my projects, my loves, on bike, on snow, on my hypothesizes… I fail and get up again and again. I strive to make original mistakes, rather than making the same mistake again and again. Now being mindful (hey, I’m trying!) helps me catch my failures early and pivot with grace. Then they follow me with shame and guilt but it’s another blog post!!!

Let’s come back to ski… This winter, my intention is to ski under Thaynes chairlift from top to bottom—black run, moguls, heart pounding, legs burning. It’s less about the finish line and more about the journey and the motivation to go out today during the mud season and go out to the mountains early in the day during the winter.

Even when it’s freezing cold and dark outside I remind myself: no regrets on showing up. Some days I don’t want to leave my cozy bed or my hairy cuddly companion (Mogul is the best!), but I do it anyway. And every time, I’m proud. No regrets, show UP!

So here’s a little blast for you: What stubbornness do you have that might be holding you back? What would happen if you replaced it with a loving intention instead? How can you take a mini-step toward that intention today—no matter how small or imperfect?

I’m also cooking up something exciting: a workout program just for beginner skiers and a comprehensive ski vacation guide. Want to be the first to know when they drop? Sign up for my newsletter below!

Thank you for being here and seeing me. Your light is welcome here!

Let’s keep shining and skiing—one mindful turn at a time.

Big hug with gratitude!
