Summer activities I support:
1. Micro adventures, à la hopping on your bicycle late in the evening just to get to your favorite local campsite.
2. Making an effort to look at the world around you with the wonder of a child. Barnacles! Driftwood! Seaweed! BIOLUMINESCENCE!
3. Drinking salted watermelon margaritas from reusable mugs (the recipe from @bonappetitmag is 💯)

Oh hey 🍷 ☀️. I was so honored when @vifseattle asked me to make a papercut and turn it into a poster for their Summer Soif wine tasting. It’s Seattle’s biggest local natural wine tasting (plus a couple of Italians). Happening July 29, 1 to 5pm. Snag tickets on the website. #naturalwine #seattle #realwine #papercut #winetasting
I’ve been thinking a lot about doubt this week so I wrote about it over on my blog. “Where is that doubt born? It bubbles up in some of the most courageous, inspiring people that I know, which is why it’s even more important to talk about it, to remind ourselves that we all experience it on some level. We are all afraid. We work in spite of it. We do the best we can.”

Pro tip: everyone has doubt. The only way to get past it is to show up, do the work, keep moving forward. Go outside. Move. Take a deep breath. Continue. You can read more over on annabrones.com. .

How do you deal with doubt? I love to hear how other people tackle this insidious beast. Oh and also, don’t accidentally dip your watercolor brush in your coffee 😂
Time to wake up. Time to be alive. Time to be open. Time to create with abandon.

Along with @hello.soul.retreats, I am teaching a workshop in October called Awaken, all about reigniting your creative spirit. You might think to yourself “oh, you’re teaching a workshop on this, you must feel awake and creatively energized all the time. Here’s the inside scoop: I certainly do not. I regularly feel like I have to wake myself up, get past the obstacles, find new inspiration. But I know that I have to push past that. I know that I have to dive right back in even when the inspiration feels lacking. I know that I have to set aside time for creating. I know that I need to balance input and output. I know that I need to manage expectations. I know that I need to find that flow space where things start to feel less like a slog and a little more like magic. There’s no special trick, it’s doing the work, committing to the process and not the outcome.

Want to join us in October? There will be yoga, creative sessions, good food and stunning views at @dancingspiritranch. A few days to recalibrate, reignite. Just a few days left for early bird pricing, so if you want to learn more head to hello-soul.com/montana
“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” - Lao Tzu. I feel like I need this reminder this week, and maybe you do too. Let things be what they need to be. Tell the doubt that you don’t have time for it today. Let your words and mind flow. Get out of the way of yourself. Stay with what needs you but let yourself move on to whatever is next when the time comes. Allow yourself to flow. (Papercut that I recently did as a tattoo commission for someone and I keep looking at it, reminding myself of these words)
