I got to be the maid of honor in my best friend’s wedding last weekend 🥹 It’s crazy to think Carly and I have been friends for almost 20 years. Man, if we haven’t been through it all together, and seen each other in countless seasons of life. It was beyond special to finally meet her beautiful daughter Lucy, and her unbelievably kind and loving partner, Dan. The love they share is so authentic, so pure and so true. It’s the kind of love that inspires, calms you, and makes you believe in miracles ✨ I couldn’t be more proud of Carly and excited for her beautiful future with Dan. Cheers to Forever 🕊️ 🥂❤️ taken in St. Simons Island, Georgia by @ar_murphy

Holy Moly, has life been life-ing lately 🫠 and it hasn’t been easy! One thing that’s helped keep me going through tough times are these bouquets 💐
I didn’t realize making flower arrangements would become one of my biggest hobbies this year..but, when I moved into my new place, I turned to this living art form, to enhance my space and mood.
I may have spent more on bouquets each month, than any other miscellaneous expense…but one of my mottos in life is ~to spend moneny on the things you need, AND the things that bring you JOY~.
Flowers bring me SO much JOY. And making bouquets isn’t only enJOYable, but it’s also a mental practice.

Sometimes, choosing flower arrangements is easy.
Sometimes, the options and choices seem overwhelming. Some days I know exactly which stems to blend. And on others..I stare for minutes -frustrated- thinking I can’t create a cohesive floral theme. But then, I make my decision. And whether I believe it’s the best choice or not, I commit. And I stare at that bouquet for days. And after moving stem by stem, to get each arrangement to look the way I want,
I fall in love…
even with the bouquets that are the most chaotic..or unexpecting. Perhaps, those become my favorite bouquets of all…
As I prepare for the summer, and to get my own garden growing on the East Coast, I’ll put my bouquets on pause. But nothing compares to growing your own 💚

I hope you all have a joyful hobby to turn to, and if you are struggling to find one, just stop to smell the flowers, and see if you can find some inspiration 🌼 🌹 🌺 #findjoy #icouldbeaflorist #daisysforcrazies #simplethings by @ar_murphy

LeGetaway was so (Le)special. I was so thankful to share in the groove with my big sister @smurph_ah_lurfh for her pre birthday celebration. Of course we didn’t take any pics together, but here’s a few clips she captured of our weekend. There’s never a dull moment when hanging with my favorite guys! Thanks for the party @lespecialmusic @le_getaway by @ar_murphy

Last summer, when I was still in the midst of dealing with severe chronic pain and injury, and was losing hope that I’d ever recover, I set 3 main goals for myself to focus on.
1. Continue healing
2. Pay off my credit card debt (which accumulated because I was injured)
3. Build and start a garden at our family’s property in Northern PA.

At this point, I had been hurting for so long, I wasn’t sure if I’d ever get better. I decided I wanted to officially retreat from society. Become sustainable. Try and find a way to live minimally, so I could be at peace and not stress over the fact that I may never lead a normal life due to injuries..
In order to make this happen, I temporarily moved back to CO to massage full time. I continued my intense focus on healing, for myself and others. Spent countless hours researching gardening practices. I only had 7 months to work, pay off debt, and save, before the growing season started in Pennsylvania.
I am very proud to say I accomplished all these goals. I healed more this year than I ever imagined I could, and am feeling better than I have in as long as I can remember.
I payed off all my credit card debt, and for the past 4 weeks, I have been holed up at my favorite place in the world, building the garden of my dreams!

To say this was an intense amount of work, that I’m exhausted, proud, and relieved, would all be a vast understatement! But every ounce of blood, sweat, and tears that went into this project & the accomplishment of these goals, was worth it. I couldn’t have done any of it without the help of my wonderful family~ especially my mother, sister and uncle Bruce, who all had their hands and hearts deep into this project! And my sweet friends, Jess and Jim, who housed me in CO while I worked to pay off my debt. 🫶

When the summer comes to an end, and I’ve harvested, canned, and frozen all the fruits of our labor, I’ll be moving back to CO to massage full time…perhaps, just until the next growing season 🌞🥕🥦🌶️

P.S If anyone needs any veggies this summer, hit me up! But if anyone needs help hand eradicating a field of pasture grass, please DONT call me 😂

On Thursday, I went snowboarding..for the first time in 4 years 🤯🏂❄️ if you were to tell me a few days ago that I would be back out on the mountain riding, I wouldn’t have believed you! I have had multiple conversations in the past few weeks alone, where I said I may never snowboard again. After all the injuries Ive sustained, from snowboarding, car accidents and being assaulted, I really didn’t know if it was possible..at least not for a long time. But on Wednesday morning I woke up with a fire inside me, with the universe and mountains beckoning me to get back out there.

My brother and cousins were in town skiing Aspen/Snowmass, and when they initially invited me to join them, I said I couldn’t make it. Once I changed my mind, they welcomed me with open arms and provided me with a place to stay. My unbelievably generous brother paid for my lift ticket, all the gear I needed, extravagant meals and fancy cocktails. (If you know anything about Snowmass, you know it isn’t cheap!) I got to explore a new mountain, and while I thought I might only make it for a few runs..I ended up riding all day long, hitting almost 13k vertical feet! I rode fast, practiced and improved riding switch, hit moguls, and even did tree runs!

My fearless and spontaneous spirit rekindled. I found a piece of myself that I had lost. It was just out on the slopes, waiting for me to find it.

The body is so miraculous! Never doubt yourself. Never put limits on what you can do. You are limitless. And powerful. And capable. My gratitude is unending! My heart is overflowing.

I love you and I love me! Xoxo 💕✨💕✨

Today I park sat for hours. Fiddling on my uke, doing yoga, eating dried apricots, burning sage. It was one of those days that reminded me of the beauty of this human existence. It’s crazy how when you’re hurting you can forget ~ Forget that this human life has so much importance. Though there is pain, there is also SO much wonder. I watched people climb trees, fly kites, dance, photograph, chat, and just be. How divine it is to witness the simple pleasures of life. Hope you’re experiencing this too. And if you’re hurting, just remember the simple pleasures are always there waiting for you, to remind you of who you really are.

Sending love and light to all ✨ 💕 by @ar_murphy

Yesterday I turned ✨ 33 ✨ shifting into my blue era 🩵 🤍 💚 I have been pretty silent on the inter webs the past few years because I’ve been healing. Healing from something I thought I might not recover from. I haven’t been very vocal about what happened to me, but I’m finding my voice again, and in time will have much more to share. For now, all I have to share with you is the main lesson I’ve learned, that
~~ HEALING IS POSSIBLE! ~~
No matter how broken you are in your body, mind, or spirit. Yes, it takes an intense amount of work…having to truly face what hurt you, finding acceptance and forgiveness, through grieving and growth. It’s a painful process, but a beautiful one, that I wouldn’t trade for a million lifetimes.

As I enter into my ✨ 33 ✨ year, I’m bursting full of Gratitude, Love, and Joy. I can’t wait for the future and to continue submitting to the divine timing of the universe. Everything comes to us at the right time. I am certain. Even if the road we are traveling feels weary. So keep going, keep healing! You are never alone.

To prove I’m alive and well, a few pictures from the most magical and rejuvenating weekend getaway, to Manitou Springs and Garden of the Gods, with my best friends. Xoxo
