Weekend vibes ✨

While my environment has been a deep soak in calm and peace lately, my writing the past few days has felt anything but. I’m at that inevitable stage in writing a book when I want to pull out my hair and cry. I’m doubting every word typed and begin to question why I’m even doing this. Not dramatic at all, right I know you fellow authors understand this. And if it wasn’t for a lot of you being a text and phone call away, I couldn’t get over the grumpy writing hump. I’m going to finish creating you book 6! And I’m going to love you again.
Fun day snowboarding and painting up at Keystone. What you can’t see in this picture is how I couldn’t feel my fingers at all, they were so damn cold! They were completely numb, I’m surprised I was even able to hold the tin for this picture. After I finished this painting, the resort had just closed for the day and I had a JOLLY, VERY FUN time on the gondola ride down to the base, trying to warm my hands up: screaming, yelling, singing and making weird grunting noises while I opened and closed my hands, sat on them, rubbed them all over my head, blew warm air on them, flapped my arms around in the air and cradled them while I rocked back and forth like a crazy insane person. I wore the wrong gloves. ☹️ But it didn’t really seem that cold out! The painting turned out okay I guess, but the cold fingers part sucked!

Painting pit stop in the woods of a black diamond run yesterday at Keystone. Breckenridge is visible off in the distance to the right. It was a drop dead gorgeous day!

Wishing I was in this hot tub right now, relaxing as the snow falls with the mountains in the backdrop ️ Instead, I'm stuck inside a messy house that I have no intention of cleaning, while a blizzard ranges on outside, running on no sleep and mentally exhausted. I need a break from 'adulting' ... I wish I could Amazon a hot tub for same day delivery #hottubgoals #keystonemoments

As my time in the mountains is coming to an end, I have to say that one thing I’ve realized is that I need to take a step back, look at the bigger picture, and focus in on my goals.
.
Lately I’ve been extremely busy adjusting to my new summer schedule, but I’m realizing that it’s already almost July and I haven’t met all of my June goals yet!
.
But instead of making excuses for why I haven’t met these goals, I’m going to take this last week or so and FOCUS in on what I need to get done!
.
No more late night vending machine runs, no more avoiding the gym because it’s “too full”, no more skipping out on my superfood shakes!
.
I said it at the beginning of the month, and I’ll say it again because June isn’t over yet: THIS IS MY MONTH!!!
.
Comment below your goals for the last days of June!
Currently inside by the fire as the blizzard rages on outside ❄️ All this snow reminds me of our last weekend in Keystone, except there we were loving every inch of it versus being stuck inside here with school cancelled! Check out my new Keystone video on my IGTV to see how we enjoyed the mountain! Hint: it involves the Gondola behind us #keystonemoments

We hiked the first half of this trail in complete darkness, with a few headlamps and some good company. We made it to Dream Lake for the sunrise and for @matthewcliffwright and @boboblh to get some incredible pre-wedding shots. Our fingers and toes were frozen, and a couple yaktraks were busted, but we got the shots! Stay tuned for a fun video.
Last night's dinner in @keystone_resort was pretty epic!! Keystone has a knack for creating unforgettable family friendly nights ❤️❄️ Last year we went for a sleigh ride in a horse drawn carriage to a rustic cabin for dinner, and this year we cozied up with blankets in a gondola to arrive at a Bavarian fondue feast at 12,000ft above sea level. We laughed, we were sernaded and ate WAYYYY to much food...and it was perfect! #keystonemoments #familytravel
