My name is Courtenay. I am millennial through and through— $5 lattes, avocado toast, the works. I will probably have a different haircut every time you see me. I like to make people laugh and believe the meaning of life is to have as many experiences as possible. Good or bad, it doesn’t matter. It’s like the classic saying goes: “live, laugh, love.”
Running! It's an obsession. If you're also a runner, I want to talk to you about everything-- your laces, your paces, and your races!
Staying in the present moment. I often get caught up and carried away with my dreams and plans for the future.
If something makes you feel bad, don't do it. Nothing is worth compromising your morals, values, integrity.
My yoga instructor, hairdresser, barista. All those people who bring short bursts of sunshine into my life. I admire them and appreciate them endlessly.
Making others feel welcome, comfortable, and included no matter the setting.
A teacher. It is so important to invest, encourage, and support the next generation.
I have memorized some of my favorite movies word-for-word. Disney's Aladdin? Lemme tell you, "Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place, where the caravan camels roam..."
How to write their name in Arabic. It's a beautiful language and there is always something special to discover about someone's name.
