Hello World, 

Thanks for dropping in! My name is Jess and you’ve stumbled upon my little corner of the internet. I’ve always wanted to start a blog and recently I’ve found some extra motivation to get this show on the road. I’M GOING TO NEPAL!

Recently a friend convinced me to take a trip of a lifetime. In September 2018, I’ll be trekking to the Mount Everest Base Camp (AHHH!). While I love a good adventure, this trip is waaay outside of my comfort zone. (AHHH!) 

When I first learned about the trip, something truly stirred inside me. It was that true-blue, 100% genuine, cannot deny, legit excitement. From the beginning I knew I HAD to make this trip. 

However, I’m a smart girl living in reality, and immediately after that initial wave of excitement I began to hem and haw over whether I should go, whether I COULD go. I could probably fill a separate blog post about my indecision. In the end, after talking to many friends, relatives, and strangers about the trip, I was overwhelmed with so much encouragement that I KNEW I could not miss this opportunity. 

It is from this experience, that I began to ponder the power of inspiration. Because of the positive vibes I felt from others, I had the extra (needed) confidence to listen to what I knew I already wanted to do. (TRAVEL THE FREAKING WORLD!!! …can you feel my excitement?) Sometimes you just need that extra push.

People close to me have always told me I’m a very happy, positive person. I am hoping I can channel that positive energy into this blog and create a resource to inspire whoever might wander through my blog. Stay tuned for inspiration on my favorite topics: travel, fitness, kindness, getting through the that 9-5 grind, and much more.

There is so much in this world that inspires fear, indecision, and negativity. Let’s do what we can to spread some positivity, eh?

Much love, 

Jess
