Look Where YOU Want to Go

I thought I would kill it at snowboarding. I definitely did not. But I also remembered something I'd forgotten I already knew, and once I started living it everything else fell into place. Read about how in this new post. Image credit to @mkphotos808 on Instagram <3

A poem about mostly nothing, but also the small things. Where we need to listen harder, and speak more softly.

Finding Your Right Fit

November 2, 2021November 2, 2021 savvygoessurfingLeave a comment

It's so easy for us to see when we are using the wrong board. It's so easy for us to see what needs to change or what we need to do differently in surfing, but in the rest of our lives we're equally quick to blame ourselves. What if you have always perfectly fit life all along, but you just needed to start believing it?

October 22, 2021October 22, 2021 savvygoessurfing4 Comments

There's always that one person in the line-up with a smile on their faces, and the one with a scowl. I realize in the line-up, and in life, you can choose to be whichever person in the lineup. At the end of the day, we're all in the ocean of life, but how we ride the waves is up to us.

Movement and moving, stillness and chaos-the metaphor can be too simple, but life also can be too.

An Argument for Mediocrity: Don’t “Do Your Best”, Just “Do”

April 21, 2021April 21, 2021 savvygoessurfingLeave a comment

It's taken me practically a year to write this post again. I wanted to write the perfect post. Then I realized I would never write anything thinking like that. Read about why you need to do, instead of doing your best.
