Morning all. I want to say thanks to you for being a bright spot in life. There is so much positivity and support and good coming out of this community!! I live in Denver where I am a Community Outreach Specialist for the FBI (not a special agent/investigator, no weapon) and with yet another shooting that occurred, I’m heartbroken and angry. I’m tired of being a person who helps shoulder the scary, nervewracking, and traumatizing and continually tries to highlight the positive that law enforcement does. If you have space, I have a few asks: 1) please send good vibes our way 2) please tell your family, friends, unrequited lovers, pets, your neighbors, strangers, etc that you appreciate them and selfishly 3) if anyone is willing to talk with me about what they do for work, I’d love to hear it because I definitely need a change after 10 years supporting law enforcement. lahapner2@gmail.com
Wanted to share one of my fave meals: sausage and chickpeas and veggies sheet pan meal! I can eat it alone, but some prefer it with a grain. Thanks to Chelsea’s Messy Apron!
Had a few emotional days so I swapped today’s floor series for Sunday’s recovery flow and grabbed a glowy selfie to catch up on the first board. My backroll-into-lunges are very cumbersome and very fun!
After two weeks, how is everyone doing on their goals?
My favorite goal has been sending a note/card to one friend per week. Just finished writing the second. I’m hoping some of them write back. Who doesnt love receiving snail mail?
1: Leave my phone outside of my bedroom Sun night - Fri night so I don’t scroll before going to bed at night or before getting out of bed in the morning. (AKA Dont cut into exercise time.)
Cut back on eating out. Goal is one meal out and one i-didnt-pack-a-lunch trip to the grocery store near work per week.
I want to work on letting my expectations around my family go. I am so different from all of them and they will never become the people I would like to have as my family. I want to accept that and let it go. No more judging, no more frustrations, no more trying to force them into how I want family to show up. It makes me sad, but I’m sure it will also be freeing. 🫤
