Your transformation has a cost.

For you to be reborn, a certain version of you must fade away.

And that’s so beautiful.

Witnessing so many iterations of yourself over a single lifetime.

Sometimes the best way to make it through, is to focus on the joy. Here’s a list of things that made me smile this week:

1. Memorial Day weekend shenanigans with friends
    
2. The smell of clean laundry
    
3. Seeing 4 bunnies and a tortoise on my walk around my neighborhood
    
4. Smiling at a stranger and them being caught off guard and then smiling back extra big
    
5. Eating a frozen watermelon at the pool
    
6. Brainstorming business ideas with friends and feeling like we might be able to do something meaningful in the world
    
7. Falling asleep on the couch watching TV with boo thang
    
8. Finally figuring out my signature summer salad: cucumber, feta, red peppers, tomato, leafy greens, spicy chickpeas
    
9. Writing the script for my next Youtube video and feeling like I’m on to something interesting.
