Meant to post how I’m feeling in the comments yesterday but completely spaced, so here it is. Yesterday was a tough workout for me, felt very weak during the movements, especially during planks. It followed a week where I had a couple good workouts, but those workouts wore me out, and my running suffered. It’s a challenge not to feel like I should just be able to do all the physical things I want to do. And really, I feel this way with my work too, pushing, raising the bar, enjoying a success for the moment, but then not knowing where to go after, or if I’ll ever be successful again. The honest comment here is that I feel discouraged.. and I can recognize that this isn’t exactly logical, but emotional. So I’m curious ladies, how do you go about strengthening your logical side?

Younger me would be amazed that my work as an artist/photographer has been included in the Library of Congress as part of a covid documentary collection. I mean, lots and lots of things go into the library of Congress but for younger, very civic minded Amanda, this would be unbelievable. Grateful for this life journey.. and loving reading all of your achievements Fam 💜
