Eeeeee! First off, I need to say that this experience at the Filmpreneur Summit is honestly hard to put into words. It was incredible. I don't know whose idea it was mixing work with paradise (Greg Hemmings) but it was fcking genius. Two of my favourite things, talking business, and the ocean. So talking business by the ocean was DREAMLAND.

Cala De Mar Resort, Ixtapa Mexico
OMG I cannot believe this was my first time to MEXICO! What a truly incredible place. So I'm going to start this off with a little story. I think about the universe and what you put out there, you get back, the law of attraction and many more things like that, ALL the time. One of my favourite types of talks are all of these things. So you wanna talk Universe, hit me up. If you are an avid Instagram story watcher, you may have seen me go on about how I want to go on a relaxing vacation, randomly a few weeks ago. I literally just felt in a bit of a rut, Justin and I's schedules were off and we were barely seeing each other, and all of my work can be done remote. I just had an itch to get out of town and lay by a beach. So basically I told YOU GUYS this over the internet, and get a phone call 24h later saying "Hey! Heard you wanted a vacation, this film summit in Mexico just came up with one more space, you need to go." Well hey, ok yes flights are booked. LOL. I went a few days early to really soak up the relaxation end of the trip before the film summit. The ULTIMATE relaxation resort is CAL DE MAR! Holayyyyy. This is the most beautiful resort I have ever seen in my entire life, let alone STAYED AT. Wow

Meanings behind recent works
So far this year, I thankfully have had a lot of time to myself, to think, to grieve, to prepare. To think really hard about my life, my business and what I want to make of all of this, all of these projects, and this whole thing. It's been pretty frustrating internally to not have a clear vision, clear goals, clear style, -clarity in general. I really did think I would have most of this figured out if you had asked my 18 year old self about my future. While I'm sure it may look like everything's figured out from the outside, or on Instagram, but my brain would highly disagree. Lol.

California
I can't believe how behind this post is! We took this trip back in November, and now it's officially February. That is insane. It basically sums up my motivation for sitting on a computer these days though. I've been feeling much more excited about hanging and creating in my studio lately then being in front of the screen. So that's good right? LOL maybe.
