Invisalign-ing Patience - The Parallels between Orthodontics & Starting a Business

July 22, 2021/ Robin Finney

It was around this time that I had also started my business and was navigating the world of being my own boss and learning to charge for my services. I thought committing to a multi-year journey with my teeth was challenging. Starting my own business, however, there was no preparing me for this ride.

It’s one thing to enter into something knowing how long it will take; it’s another to enter into something blindly believing it’s going to happen right away.

A Brief History of Transformation

September 28, 2020/ Robin Finney

How often do you reflect on your journey and how far you’ve come?

Lately, it seems like experiences from my past are resurfacing. I’m back to living with my sister and her family after 3-4 years of living in other places. I’m back in Dallas where I left 2 years ago while starting my nomadic journey. I’ve reconnected with relationships in my life that took various turns in the past. I said ‘Yes’ to a retreat not knowing where the money is going to come, and trusting that it will.

While these experiences feel the same, they’re different because I’m not the same person I was 5, 3, or even 1 year ago.

My Surrender Experiment: 30 Blogs in 30(ish) Days

What is My Mountain?

This is the question that beckoned my attention while I was climbing an actual mountain. Early on the morning of June 30, I woke with the clear knowing that I needed to go on a hike, and not just any hike, one that would challenge me. I followed this urge and headed to Mount Garfield. I had no idea that this hike—this climb—would lead me to write 30 blogs in 30-ish days. After I climbed the mountain, I knew I needed my own challenge. After I returned from my climb, I walked the labyrinth at Six Eagles Haven and asked the question, “What IS my mountain?”

Praise & Celebrate Where You Are

August 21, 2020/ Robin Finney

How often do you stop to celebrate the big and small victories in life? Or better yet, how often do you celebrate your journey and where you are now?

It’s easy to celebrate life when things are going well and you’ve achieved something you’ve been working towards or you’ve reached a milestone such as a birthday or an anniversary.

What about the ordinary moments in life?

Connector of Souls

August 20, 2020/ Robin Finney

Have you ever changed someone’s life by connecting them with someone you know? Or connected souls together through your work?

I LOVE connecting people. I consider it one of my superpowers. I believe that I’m changing the world when I connect two souls who are out to make a difference in this world.

Some People You Meet for a Day, Others You Meet for Life

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” - Maya Angelou

We don’t always know the impact that we make on others. Just by being your authentic self, expressing kindness and love you have the power to transform someone’s life for better.

Signs, Sunflowers, & Synchronicity

August 13, 2020/ Robin Finney

Have you ever noticed how a sunflower closes its petals when light is dim and darkness draws near? And when the light from the sun shines through, the sunflower spreads its petals far and wide?

Sunflowers make any dark day feel a little bit brighter.

Discovering Beauty in All Things

August 09, 2020/ Robin Finney

When we think of beauty, we often think of nature, animals, people, and touching moments. And yes, these are all areas filled with beauty. But what about the beauty shown in the painful moments, lessons, heartbreak, and uncertainty of life?

I’ve been thinking about beauty lately and how it’s often represented in society. Beauty is often associated with things that spark a sense of awe and wonder and grace, or superficial glamour. It’s not typically what we think of when we’re experiencing painful moments or seasons. Yet, it’s through the pain that we can come to a place of beauty and appreciation.

A Symbol of Courage, Trust, and Faith

August 07, 2020/ Robin Finney

How do you commemorate milestones or a profound transformation on your life journey? Do you write a letter to yourself reminding yourself of how far you’ve come? Do you buy a piece of jewelry or symbol to carry with you to remind you of someone you love who is no longer here?
