Feeling Down

   I'm feeling down. Some big chapters of my life are coming to an end. I'm moving once again. This time it's another big move. I moved from Pennsylvania to Colorado only 3 years ago and here I am again moving from Colorado to California. Packing my life in a car and never looking back. I feel anxious and sad. I was ready to leave my Pennsylvania life behind, but I don't feel ready to leave my Colorado life yet. I love it here. This is where I found my love for climbing and my passion for running. This is where I adopted the love of my life Mr. L'Hopital. This is where I found true happiness for once.

   Everyone tells me I will love San Francisco. They tell me this move is good for me. They tell me I will be fine. I know I will be fine, and I know that this move is good for me but it doesn't mean I shouldn't feel sadness. Yoga and meditation only ease my aching heart and rushing brain for a moment. I don't think I will feel peace about my decision to move for awhile. Maybe I did it for the money. Maybe I did it for the opportunity to start new again. Maybe I did it for the chance to see new places and meet new people. Maybe I did it to be closer to Yosemite, the high Sierras, and Tahoe [places I've never explored before]. Maybe I did it for all these reasons. One thing I know for sure, it wasn't because I wanted to leave Colorado, leave my awesome friends behind and the amazing climbing and mountains. No, I know that for sure.

  So here I sit another sleepless night feeling alone and depressed when I am still in the place I love surround by the people I love. I have an entire month and a half still here in Colorado. Where I plan to enjoy every second of it with no responsibilities. Climbing and running and enjoying the people in my life while they are still this close. It feels good to say how I'm feeling. I am only human, and I'm sure many people have felt the same way in there lives at one point or another.

Cheers to growing up and starting new! I'll be fine. I always am.

South Six Shooter Bouldering

Came across some footage from my trip to Indian Creek last month so I whipped together a little video from some fun boulders at the base of the South Six Shooter!

Hair Today Gone Tomorrow

I wish getting my hair stuck in my belay device was something that rarely ever happened, but for me it happens way more often then I would like. It doesn't matter if I'm repelling or belaying or my hair is pulled back in a pony tail or just down... it will find its way into my belay device. So I decided to make a little video over dramatizing the whole tragic situation. Enjoy!

Three Sisters Throw Back

Just thought I would throw it back to a video from 2012. Back when I wasn't as strong and my dog wasn't as big. Check it out.

Go Grand or Go Home?

My climbing partner [Tyler] and myself have been getting really excited to climb the Grand Teton. Here is a video we made about it. We also entered it into a contest so hopefully we will get to go for free! *fingers crossed*

Check it out and tell me what you think.

I know its not on my Vimeo. I'll try to get it up there soon.
Cheers

Finding Balance

Everything in life is about finding a balance. A balance between work and play and everything in between. I mean they even make a pyramid to show you how to balance your food!

I've only been practicing yoga for a few months but I love the way it makes me feel. Its about finding a balance between mind and body and soul. Its about opening your heart and letting the light in and wiping off all of the negativity.

I feel like in life we get caught up in the fast pace of everything! We expect everything to come to us in the fastest manner we have fast food, cars, internet... and sometimes we forget to slow down and breath. Walk to work, have a sit down meal, be more patient with the people around us.

It is much harder than you would think in a world were time is everything!

Namaste,
Naomi
