Overjoyed to be out here again doing a real sport!

Overjoyed to be out here again doing a real sport! Been about 2 years since I’ve been allowed to do a sport I enjoy. This is my first real trip and first real opportunity. So grateful. Will never forget the struggles and the work that was put in: both by me, and my loved ones.

Each breath up here feels fresher, each accomplishment on the wall brings such a feeling of pride.

Led two routes yesterday and then cleaned a 5.10c. Was difficult, but I have a wonderful climbing partner and he has helped me ease back into this.

More today! Dale dale

Thanks for the support and sticking with me as things have been turned 🙃

I guess I gotta watch my weight a little more. I jumped on this rock and it cracked. 😳

Plus some other adventures. #pocoapoco

I’m on a path. Don’t know exactly where it leads. It’s not what I had planned.

I can’t see the forks. Can’t see the trail. Can’t see the edge.

I’m just here. And reminding myself to be happy that I’m here. And reminding myself that it’s okay that I don’t know where I’m going.

Reminding myself to do something fun just because. Reminding myself to get outside my comfort zone.

Taking note of my flaws. Taking note of my tendencies - both good and bad.

Taking note of my ADDICTIONS. We all have them. But what are the things that are taking too much control of me. I have fed them too much. Need to implement a plan to step back. Take back my role as the gatekeeper of my well-being.

I haven’t been posting on here as much. In some ways I’m burnt out. In some ways I’m too busy. In some ways I don’t want to make the effort.

But the biggest factor is that I feel like I work often very hard on what I share. Then, when it goes unrecognized, it’s definitely a hit to the ego and almost feels like mocking the effort I put in.

Personally I think it’s due to the algorithm and the shadow ban.

But why do I care? I guess we all seek validation from others in some aspects.

I want to share more. I hope you get SOMETHING out of it when I do. Maybe joy, maybe surprise, maybe reflection, maybe sadness, maybe anger, maybe realisation. Maybe something deeper. Maybe something personal.

This particular photograph was from a drive I passenged. We drove through the rainforest. It was my first time in Puerto Rico. The mist was mysterious and foreshadowed something new and different.

I was with new people, a surfboard was strapped to the roof. Who knew what would happen next or what could come of this….

@2.angelpr is one of the best young basketball players I know. He has slippery handles, great shooting, and can dunk.

But wayyy more important than that, he is a team player, humble, has excellent vision, and elevates others around him.

Crazy to think that we met just because I heard him shooting around on a basketball court and went and joined in.

We played a game of horse and then played 1 on 1. He ended up schooling me and afterwards I found out that he was only 14 at the time! He could have called me an old man and rubbed it in my face that I lost, but he was tranquil about it and even tried to teach me one of his moves.

Here are some photos we shot later. We shot some cool video too (some can be seen in the reels). Much respect to him for being a good example on and off the court and for being so patient with me - we shot these photos months ago!

I know he will succeed at whatever he focuses on, because it’s clear that he has the drive and passion coupled with a can-do attitude.

Only time you’ll see me wearing flip flops!

Was super fun doing this shoot for Veer Boats and being on the other side of the camera!

Love the end result.

Got to experience some fun times on the other side of the camera for a change last year. Here was one of my favourites: the shoot with Veer Boats. I’m allowed to share this now that the boat is available to the public. Get one and I’ll show you how to use it! 😉

@nickgallopphoto and the team did a great job! Especially loved them taking the risk and throwing the ronin and Sony on my boat and letting me run it at full speed through a tight little channel!!

The location was epic, we shot in the Florida Keys. Enjoyed meeting @keysxplorer and seeing him be quite the captain in the current!

We had great weather and plenty of smiles and sun on set!

Let me model your boats or outdoor gear 😋

Shoutout to @kirberbs for all the fun times and for being the best set partner I could ask for (even if she didn’t get BTS video of me swerving around Nick at full speed for about 10 takes in a row). We have great chemistry and I know that shows in the full advert and other photos. ❤️

Got to remain thankful for all the moments. Sometimes we (definitely me included) humans lose sight of the bigger picture. Life is so beautiful if we focus on that.

It’s the old Cherokee elder story of the inner wolves. We have two wolves inside us and they are always fighting. One is evil – it is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is good – it is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person too.

But which wolf will win?

The one you feed.

The one you feed. And I’m trying to feed that good wolf more and focus more on all the good in my life instead of wallowing in the not-so-good.

I don’t post as much because I am trying to focus more on living.

Just 5 days ago I saw the first whale I’ve ever seen and it jumped out of the water. It was absolutely magical.

I hope you all are doing well and I hope you focus on the magic, beauty, and feeding the wolf you want to win.

First two photos by @kirberbs, rest by me.
