Last night I took an outdoor yoga class at a winery with my sister-in-law. It was my first outing since having our baby 3.5 months ago and boy was it amazing to be out in nature and enjoy some adult time.
I’m grateful for my husband watching and putting our three girls to bed for us.
I’m grateful to live in such a beautiful area filled with so much nature (and wineries).
I’m grateful my baby happily takes a bottle allowing me some adult time.
What a lovely community; so caring and thoughtful. Thanks for all your tender thoughts recently. Now it is my turn to return the favor. I am sending love to everyone in this community. We all need more love. AND tremendous gratitude to Marnie for bringing us all together. I was once told, "surround yourself with good people." She is a testament to that statement. Thank you all and sending all my love to everyone out there.
Instead of a scrolling on social media, I decided to read for 15 min. Has anyone read this book? So good! What are you reading these days? Also some pretty flower pics from our walk today.
Today I had to put my fur baby Remington down due to health issues. I rescued him at age 3 and trained him to serve others (Veterans, children, elderly) as a pet therapy dog. He was loved by all and brought me (and many others) great joy in the mere 4 years together. RIP Remington.
Hey fam. After the live, I went for a walk and took a pair of headphones to listen to some music. After reflecting on the reverence, I desired to give my soul some fun. Idk why, but the song Owner of a Lonely Heart by YES is such a pick me up. Maybe it's the guitar riff or the solo at the end but I loved when I heard it as a kid and even now as adult.
I'm curious, what's your fav or "go to" song that you could listen to on repeat endlessly.
This round of challenge is really teaching adaptation, as life continues to change and flow. Finding myself unable to make lives as much as I could in those early challenges, but I made it today! It was an absolute pleasure to work my brain with that initial barre combo, right in the thick of all of you people and your amazing energy!! Have a good Wednesday friends 🥰
Hi fam, it has been a while since I've shared my movement boards with you, or anything really. Here are my workout boards from mid February. I love them and I am proud of myself, because I didn’t push myself, yet I exercised a nice amount while getting enough rest and other activities.
I am done with traveling for now, so my Summer of Strong Challenge starts TODAY! Can't wait to ease back into it and catch up with y'all.
It has been hard to pin down one goal…. Funny as that seems…. But this week my goal is leave all my “snarky” comments towards my hubby at the door. I love him to pieces but sometimes he becomes the outlet of my frustration which is not geared towards him, just comes out at him. More love, less rude.
This beautiful challenge is making me stronger in my mind and my body... with a lighter 💜
So my goal for the week is simple, but a hard one for me- and that’s prioritizing sleep! My goal is to journal and get in bed by 10pm for at least 5 out of the next 7 days. Phone in the other room. Pink noise on. Hoping this will help in several areas of my life 😂
And a moment of gratitude and joy: the first 10 days of this challenge have been like a body mind reset for me. Like every day is taking me back to principle I thought I mastered, and showing me I can trust my body even more and lean more into intention. Ex: pulling energy from the earth in wide second and just feeeeeeling it all the way up my body, or pushing the earth away in planks and discovering a new feeling of support through my arms and back. I’m just blown away, and so so happy.
