A bit of a throwback Thursday to when I was in Kenya 20+ years ago… 🇰🇪❤️
Photos have a funny way of stopping you in your tracks. Today I came across this photo of me in Kenya — 20 years ago! 😳
Looking at this younger version of me, I can’t help but wonder what I would tell her if I could sit beside her for five minutes.
I’d tell her you have absolutely no idea what’s ahead of you… and that’s the best part.
I’d tell her not to worry so much. To trust herself. To say yes to more adventures, take more chances, and stop wondering what everyone else thinks.
I’d tell her that some of the places she’ll go, people she’ll meet and experiences she’ll have will shape her in ways she can’t possibly imagine yet.
And I’d tell her that life won’t always go according to plan. There will be heartbreak, loss, unexpected turns and moments when she questions everything. But there will also be so much laughter, love, friendship, family, incredible travel and memories that she’ll treasure forever.
Most importantly, I’d tell her keep that sense of adventure. 🌍✨
Because 20 years later, that girl is still in there somewhere — she just has a few more stories, a lot more life experience and probably a much bigger suitcase! 😂✈️
And if I could whisper something to my future self 20 years from now, it would simply be:
I hope you’re still saying yes. Still exploring. Still laughing. Still making memories. And I hope you never forget just how lucky you are to have lived such a big, beautiful life. ❤️
From sitting on the back of a safari truck on one of my very first work trips to now sitting in my office running my own business....What a journey. 🌍❤️
