“You can have all the riches and success in the world, but if you don’t have your health, you have nothing.” – Steven Adler

Mental health, physical health, emotional health, and spiritual health are starting to become more important to me. Aside from not trying to break bones or getting ran over, health wasn’t a really big priority growing up so I never really understood how to heal properly when I did get physically injured or emotionally hurt; however, now that I’m trying to spend as much time and energy as possible to discover my passions and purpose, being healthy in every way is a priority.

Everything I write about it here is dedicated to learning how to be healthy and what I’ve done myself to improve my health (mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually).

I had a blast volunteering at an elementary school I had a blast volunteering at an elementary school this past week! Helped some third graders practice their math with an Easter egg hunt. These third graders have made me wonder if I can find my sense of childlike wonder again. That natural curiosity and openness. #easter #childlikeliving #linkinbio

Your wedding was beautiful in its simplicity and deeply meaningful. The traditional Cathlotic elements made it feel intimate. Your reception was the hottest spot in Houston that night. I wish you guys so much strength, love, and patience for this next chapter of your lives! #linkinbio

I definitely was nervous for how uncomfortable and painful it would be - that's how it is with most things you try for the first time.  Jiu-jitsu is definitely on the list of things to pick up in the near future :) #linkinbio

To be honest, I have no idea how I've made it this To be honest, I have no idea how I've made it this far.  Absolutely thankful to have these friends here to celebrate getting to 30. This is just a small snapshot of who I am thankful to and for.  There's many other people not in this picture who have made me a better person. Thank you for letting me share this absolutely crazy life with you!  Thank you to those who reached out to wish me a Happy Birthday.  I'm absolutely terrified of what's to come in this next decade.  Cheers!
