So my husband & I planned a trip to go to Iceland in November for my 30th way back at the beginning of 2023... fast forward to a super nice but also filled with unexpected bills summer, other fall travel plans being added to the mix, life life life, etc. I started feeling really overwhelmed by the thought of a big upcoming international trip. Then our AirBnB host had to unexpectedly cancel our reservation this week and I immediately felt...relief? So we talked about it and decided to cancel the whole thing and try again for next year if the season feels right and Im just so proud of myself for being able to adapt and listen to my current needs instead of feeling like I have to commit to something because past me wanted it. Past me would have felt like it was some moral failing to do not do the thing, present me knows that honoring my need for rest is way more important. That feels like such growth for me <3

Y’all, I just spent a full week at the beach with my whole family—husband, sisters, nieces & nephew, dad, step-mom—the whole crew and I had such a fun time but I didn’t hit the mat a single time! So instead of beating myself up about it I’m just turning my 60-day challenge into a 67 day challenge and keeping it moving—hitting the mat for the first time in a week today! Missed being here, happy to be back!
