A month of movement, challenges, people, places… and a lot of life in between.
Portugal. Czech Republic. Oberstdorf.
Skating camps, mountains, long walks, friends, family, coaches who have become family — and, of course, the animals who somehow always make everything feel a little lighter. 🤍
This month challenged me in more ways than I expected.
Some challenges I chose myself. Climbing mountains that turned out to be steeper than expected. Swimming out into a reservoir in Portugal when a younger version of me probably would have stayed safely on the shore.
Others I definitely didn’t choose. Plans changed unexpectedly, one of my camps suddenly couldn’t happen as planned, and I had to react quickly, find solutions and keep moving.
And maybe that’s what this month reminded me of most:
We don’t get to choose everything life throws at us.
But we do get to choose what we do next.
Stay positive.
Make a plan.
Take action.
Don’t sit back and wait for something good to happen.
Climb the mountain. Get in the water. Change the plan. Call the people. Find the solution. Keep going.
And surround yourself with people — and apparently quite a few cats 🐈 — who make you remember why it’s all worth it.
A very full month.
A slightly crazy one.
But definitely one I’ll remember. ♥️
