Back to Myself ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are officially a week into landing back in South Africa after an amazing holiday with my family in America (amazing sans the one week that we had FLU, yuck!), and I can safely say, I am feeling myself again. Whoop! Just in time for the weekend too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I can honestly say I am already smashing them new years goals (sports, books, health, family, etc.) and cannot WAIT to see what unfolds for my family and I in 2020. I think I will know more tomorrow after my vision board workshop with @thecreativespacewithsonja tomorrow 😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In other news, I had a beautiful talk today with a major wave-maker @iamjenclements. I found Jen on Instagram last year during my 9 months sobriety journey - major shifts happened for me in 2019! Jen is super inspiring on all talks sobriety and personal development and has an amazing course coming up at the end of this month for anyone seeking to live a better life. Who doesn’t?! 😛 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have a happy weekend peeps! 👋 . . . . . . . . #weekendtime #jetlag #travellife #homesweethome #soberlife #selfhelp #liveyourbestlife #newyearnewyear
New Year New YOU 🙌🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It is so cliche, but we have all read some variation of the above statement somewhere (or everywhere) in the last few weeks with it being a new year. Am I right?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ya, it does get old, BUT it can also be true. For me, it finally came true last year, and all thanks to a chance clarity DREAM session. This sounds vague, but it's because I want you to listen to my last Podcast to find out more! #notgoingtolie ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, while you're driving or going for a walk or cooking or whatever, open your preferred Podcast listening platform (Apple, Itunes, Spotify, wherever) and listen to my episode "Embrace The Courage to Live your DREAM in 2020!" on my channel "The Honest Hour" by Christina Masureik. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Truly, my life was transformed last year, and I look forward to all that is yet to come! ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Blessings and happy listening 🎙 . . . . . . . . . #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #personaldevelopment #liveyourbestlife #starttoday #risetogether #girlwashyourface #happy2020

Become Empowered to Let Go 🙌🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 23 December 2019 marked 25 years since my Dad adopted my sister and I. I was 10 and my sister was 8; we had been in a foster home together in Louisiana after our biological family realized they couldn’t take care of us anymore. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ever day since the day we were dropped off and never seen again has been a journey of forgiveness and discovery. As I reflect on this special day and all the years of love and hope it represents, I came across a short excerpt I wanted to share from my memoir. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Often when we look at the visions held in our hearts, we see the glory but not the sweat, and it can deceive us, leaving no room or opportunity to prepare us for the challenges. I’ve experienced this in my own motherhood journey, holding no regrets of course, but faced with many challenges that I did not expect. The greatest one being the proverbial ghosts in the nursery, how I coped with them and how processing it all helped me turn it around, becoming the premise for this book." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Being honest with myself and others about the trauma I had buried for so many years became the ground from which I healed my unknown wounds and freed myself from the chains of my past. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s been a long journey, but one filled with so many beautiful moments of love and gratitude too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today I’m grateful for the journey I’ve had, even the hard parts, and for the year I’ve had to reflect on it all and grow. Most importantly, I’m grateful to my Dad who chose to love us unconditionally no matter what. ❤️

Family Time 🙌🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Being an expat comes with many colorful textures of variety, experience and exploration. But one thing it lacks is the good old familiar feeling of nostalgia, family and home 🏡. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I’ve been soaking up all the long needed family time I can this past week, and in the few weeks to come, while we visit my American roots in Denver, Colorado. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m from “everywhere,” the last place I lived in America being San Diego. But most of my family is settled in Denver now so that’s my stomping ground when I “go back home”. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love visiting my family in America, but it always makes me grateful also for the beautiful home we have made for ourselves in Cape Town. Here’s a snap of my parents visiting us earlier this year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Off to the mountains today for some ski 🎿. First time in 20 years 😳😳😳 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jet setting ✈️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This year began with a dream, many dreams. Underlined by a deep belief that I wasn’t worthy of any of them... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Realizing this insecurity was followed by an intense journey to undue all those limiting beliefs and lack of self worth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It came out in a book as I wrote my heart out... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We began traveling more as a family. We started small with one night in an apple orchard. Followed by time in the mountains. A few other small getaways... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And then we went to my ultimate dream vacation as a family, the Kruger Park! My dreams were manifesting before my eyes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And today, we depart for America. The first time in 4 years we are visiting my family together. The first time my babies will remember touching the soil (and snow!) of the country their mama comes from. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We will ski, visit old friends and family, make memories.... it’s a dream come true. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So what makes a dream? To me it is the courage to allow yourself to admit what you want in life, and then the humility to get out of your own way so it can happen. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bye for now Cape Town, back in 2020 🥳
Riding the Wave ☀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My new favorite quote is “You can’t stop the waves but you can learn to surf” 🏄‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’ve been in the beautiful Kommetjie (Deep South Africa) for a month now and we never want to leave! The time spent here so far with my family has taken me from a much needed season of personal growth and reflection to one of present living and CELEBRATION. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Every season is necessary and has its own rebirths in ways, but I’m really loving this one and want to ride out this wave forever 🌊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Please excuse me while I continue to be super distant from all my content creation and sharing. I’ll be back but for now I’m too happy living in the moment to document my days. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👋 Gone surfing 🏄‍♀️
