35 years young… WHATTT.🤯🎈♋️ Enjoy a carousel 🎠 of different chapters in my life accompanied by descriptions 💛 + heartfelt thoughts 💭.🥰

💛Slide 1: Now. Lovely Vegan 🌱 summer fashion & goods shoot.🌞

💭: “Wow, here & DOING IT. Everything came together with Divine guidance & support. Grateful. Excited. Overwhelmed. I am enjoying the present moment. I feel peaceful within.”😯😌

💛Slide 2: 4th grade. Dance 🕺 competition performing my first solo.⚡️

💭: “Yeahhhhh! I’m doing it, mom! This is the best day ever! I'm just here to live life in the NOW!”😁😇

💛Slide 3: 15. Living in Miami Beach 🏝️ to work as a model.📸

💭: “I miss home. This is hard. Excited to be here, yet feeling uneasy. Do they like me? Am I doing this right? Am I enough?”😕😑

💛Slide 4: 21-22ish. Living in LA to continue working as a model after taking a mental health break.🪷

💭: “I’m excited to be back, yet I miss my family while being long distance. Every time I walk in the agency, I feel lack. Do they like me? Do they believe in me? Do I believe in myself?”🤔😳

💛Slide 5: 23-24ish. Living in LA & continuing to work in the modeling industry.☀️

💭: “Thankful for opportunities & success. Specific prayers have been answered. I miss home. I feel lost & continue to reach outward for fulfillment… do they STILL like me? Am I too old for this industry? Am I running out of time?”😐😵‍💫

💛Slide 6: 27. Living in Istanbul & continuing to work in the modeling industry.✈️ 

💭: “I feel VERY lost. Why am I here? I question many of my decisions. Why did coming here feel like the right thing even though it’s not mirroring my *expectations*?

Oh.

I see.

Thank you for showing me how to get out of my own way, God. Thank you for showing me true inner fulfillment through love & service. Thank you for helping me DETACH & GROW.”🌿🪴

💛Slide 7: 30. Primarily running my first business, SoulRise Tribe.🤓

💭: “I feel peaceful. I feel grounded. I feel strong. I would have never guessed this is where I’d be at 30. I’m deeply grateful for all I’ve learned through the ups & downs.

I AM always whole.

I AM internally resilient.

I AM forever purpose.

Thank you, God.”🙏🏼🌞

💛Slide 8: Exactly 1 year ago — 34. Enjoying creative expression, art, & connection through Lovely Vegan & being back in front of the camera.🎥 

💭: “I feel peace within & am thankful to experience continual guidance & support as I surrender my will to God’s. I have no idea what’s ahead, yet have great faith & excitement as I continue watching all unfold. I allow my emotions to ebb & flow without judgement — just love.

I am ONE.

I am LOVE.

I am ALIGNED.”🌌💫

💛Slide 9: March 29th, 2023. VoyageUtah invites me to take part an interview for ‘Inspiring Stories’.🌱

💭: “I receive this beautiful opportunity as another sign 🪧 I’m on a path supportive of the HIGHEST GOOD.

I am exactly where I’m supposed to be.

I continue to grow & shine infinitely within.

I feel most thankful for the journey.”🥲❤️

💛Slide 10: July 6th, 1994. Sixth birthday with my preschool crown 👑.😄

💭: “I’m just happy to be here & excited to eat cake. When I grow up, I want to have a giant house full of Dalmatians & drive a sparkly yellow convertible.” Yes, I literally said this as a kid.🤣🤣🤣💛💛✨🚗

Happy 17th Birthday, Kuna!

---

Kuna is 17 years old!😍🥳 Happy Birthday 🎉 to this sweet angel 😇 girl!

A few fun facts:

🎈Kuna is the first of all six dogs & is still rockin’ it!  She is truly eternal.

🎈Kuna is very smart!  In her younger years, she was very calculated on how to rearrange furniture 🪑 to get food or manipulate Nash or Shylo 🐕🐕 to get what she wants.  She’d pretend someone was at the front door 🚪 to distract them from their toys 🧸 & then swipe it from them when they weren’t looking.🤣😑 

🎈Kuna once escaped the apartment in NorCal, went to a bakery, & came back on her own.  It was an absolutely terrifying day but thankful 🥲 beyond for that little beagle brain 🧠 & nose 👃.🗺️

🎈Kuna used to love going to the dog park & be chased down.  She was too cool for smaller pooches & was always trying to be one of the big dogs.😎🐾

Love you beyond measure, Kuna matata!  Smooches all day on those velvety ears!🥰💋🐶
