Cancer is weird because grief starts before someone is gone, because there are already moments we are alone and think “my mom would have loved to be here” but they already can’t. The mix of gratitude and grief swirl into a big mess of emotions, and sometimes you just have to breathe. Butterflies remind my mom of her dad catching them as a child, so today I’m posting this in honor of his birthday. Xoxo

Morning Walk at the Greenbrier on Christmas Day. Watching the sunrise and taking in the gratitude. What a special place, with such special people.

PSA… the Christmas Markets in Europe aren’t cold. Facebook had me packing for seeing polar bears but it’s sweater weather here. 55 and no rain- Gym shoes and a light jacket would have been ideal. Its a midwest 55 not a southern 55. Iykyk.

Indoors has the heat turned way up… much warmer than the 72 most places keep it in the US. Pack layers so you’re not too warm!

The Gaia Hotel Switzerland

Prime location across from the train and bus terminal.

Historic Building- Gorgeous Restaurant with free organic break buffet. Delicious.

Lobby smelled incredible- like Christmas magic.

Staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming!

Room was huge! Couch and two bathrooms. Our room has a BO scent to it, but we could open the windows for fresh air. Everywhere in Swiss is overly hot inside, so a cracked window felt nice anyways.

KLM Premium Comfort Class Upgrade… ugh.

The seats were padded like first class but incredibly small and restrictive. Why are The seats and arm rest so long? These are made for a skinny giant. The width was just wide enough for me to sit with my legs shut and not moving- for 8 hours. 😩

I think I’ve developed clostrophobia from this experience.

The charging and earphone plugs were inside the seat rests, and the pressure of my leg snapped my iPhone cord. Ugh.

Food was okay.

The economy class bassinets were diabolically placed directly behind this section- and a baby cried for 8 hours. No one slept.

Conclusion: Not only is the upgrade not worth the money- economy looked more comfortable.

Two days later and my legs are still sore from being squished in the arm rests.

10,000 Followers! I know this may not seem like much, but I believe in celebrating every milestone.

It’s crazy that just a few years ago I took a leap of faith and quit my corporate job after 10 years to explore the unknown.

After just a view months I earned an invite to LTKcon- which is a major career milestone. I thought it was a mistake. But then they invited me back! Despite having a totally different vision for what influencing is… there was still a seat for me at the table. And that is what I love about this industry- the celebration of diverse perspectives and ideas.
