The cocoon hatched open when i awoke wednesday morning…and those lil critters are just fluttering about. Not for one second am i not seriously grateful because these guys don’t hatch everyday…they don’t fly every wednesday morning…and i have been absolutely floored with the love they have run into in the last 48hrs. Every corner i turn, the sweet Universe says “i’ve got your back”. #great,full #speechless
I left the office with a box of my favorites…covered in (inappropriate) love notes:
I landed at my rental home to a good luck postcard on the back of these waterfalls:
Do you recognize them? They are the one and only Haleakala Falls – only my favorite climb + favorite falls of all time! (This is also the scene of the guaved-phone-incident!)
I met this man on the drive down, with flashing lights and all:
What was meant to be a 300$ fine somehow turned into a 44$ ticket with a sweet lil note reading “please slow down, thank you”.
And then upon registering today, Newton swooped in with a few bags of goodies that look a lil something like this and just might have thrown my entire race day outfits for tizzie! Seriously….do i wear a Newton tri-suit or a lululemon duo for the marathon?! #couldbeworse
As an aside, the water was a blistering hot 12degrees this morning…so cold i actually thought i might be doing backstroke for the entire swim, so changing outfits over the course of freezing cold to smokin’ hot just might be required.
Here’s to enjoying the dance with the creatures that flutter…and appreciating what busts open the cocoon! xo
