Coffee date

^^ missing the amazing lattes in Seminyak

If we had a coffee date today, I would tell you how change is (slowly) occurring in my life.  I would say how tiring + frustrating the pace of the change is, but that I'm trying to be patient and remain optimistic about the future.  I crave change of routine, but I'm attempting to enjoy the here and now while it lasts.  This is a constant opportunity of self-improvement that I often fail at.  (vague blogging woo, but that is the first and most important thing I would have to get off my chest.)

I would tell you that I'm going down to LA this weekend, to celebrate the birthday of a dear friend, and that I'm slightly worried I haven't thought of an awesome gift idea yet.  Any good ones?

I would tell you that this springtime sunshine is making me ridiculously happy.  I would suggest we meet outside, on the patio, to take advantage of California's awesome March temperatures.

I would show off my new drapey blazer from Anthropologie, and tell you all the different ways I can't wait to style it.  It's so freaking cute!

I would tell you that I've been running again, and it's also making me really happy.  We'd reminiscence about our prior running + racing days, and I'd share my hopes that maybe those days can happen again.  My calves are sore, and it feels good to complete a simple 5k without walking.

I would tell you that I'm having a lot of fun planning my Coachella dream set list, and ask about what bands you're excited to see.  Are you camping?  Do you want to meet up for Broken Bells?

I would share this quote with you, that's been helping me power on: "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm." (from Winston Churchill)

Happy Friday my friends!
