Nourishment for me currently means having two therapists to address several difficulties in my life. Taking that time out for my mental health is very important right now (and always). Nourishment also means honoring my soul by having a no-contact relationship with my mother. And, nourishment is always hugs from my kids and snuggles with my dog.

More of this lovely meditative flow! This phase of my life has me craving more workouts of this nature, along with strength.

Also, meeting Leah brought me so much joy.

The path to healing is long in NC. Lucky that my home and family are safe and happy to send help western NC as much as I can.

So much fun with you, Leah! Can’t wait for more hangouts when I get back to Denver!

Big fan of using heavier weights! And thanks for the comic relief from Twiggy. I wish I could've submitted an application for her!

The kindness reminder was huge for me, as I feel like I've been on edge of late, without practicing grace with others.

Oh, Jenna....I'm sorry for your loss....and sorry we're in this club together. I think journaling will continue to help me process, along with just letting the emotions happen. Hugs to you.

May is typically a busy month for my family - Mother's Day, my daughter's birthday, my birthday, our dog's adoptaversary. Sadly, I've had to add my father's death to May.

Less than a week after moving him to memory care, he became unresponsive and attempts to revive him were unsuccessful. It was a complete shock. And, honestly, I'm processing through guilt. Although I've grieved him in a different way over the past two years, during his journey with dementia, the grief in knowing I will never see him in person anymore is more painful.

He was a stern but loving father. You could always depend on him, for anything. He would drive hours to you in the middle of the night, as he did for my brother. He contemplated driving to CO when I lived there, because he hated to fly. We convinced him not to. 

So, as my birthday lands on this week's Wednesday live, I'm taking 30 minutes to step away from work and love myself and give myself some grace.

I loved this workout. In a season where I feel I have no control and all over the place, it was great to focus and feel strong. Thanks for listening to what we’re needing, Marnie! I used 8 lbs and would love to increase, in time. And, just like a stretch class, I’d like to try to do this once a week or once every two weeks!
