A piece of my heart to you...

In the midst of pain, heartbreak, and suffering there is an aching for love... the love that desires the good for others & for ourselves. Never underestimate a kind gesture, a smile, or a words of support and encouragement because it can make an impression that's unforgettable.
It's incredible how much fitness has taught me. Perseverance, patience, strength, grit, and how to push past fear with grace. What we do on the mat pills over into daily life. And for me, It's given me the playground to find & explore the joy in suffering. That joy is realizing I am not alone & the grief from love with no where to go, has found a place to breakthrough, and that is through movement. We can do hard things even when its scary. Remain hopeful, courage can be found in essence of hope.

Continue to support, love, cherish one another. ❤️ My heart goes out to you all.
-Jessi

Happy Feast Day- Thanksgiving USA.

To the wonderful G-Fam:

We are all from different ends of the earth, honoring our own dance, in our own time, in our own way.

We come from different timelines, embracing the seasons of our own life. 

Our backgrounds and cultures are uniquely our own. And it is beautiful that we can share that with one another. 

You are all one of a kind with your own thoughts, talents, and unique abilities. Deep down, I adore this work and sharing it together. It has been a blessing in my life in more ways than you all know.

You each bring something special to this space and it's pretty wonderful that we are bonded by the love of dance and this work. (Thank you, Marnie  and M/BODY team, for bringing us together) It's incredible to experience this dance together and what a joyous gift it is!  

Continue to be kind, inspiring, thoughtful, and charitable. Share the goodness in your hearts with your family & friends, and everyone you encounter but especially with those who may be unkind or unfriendly for their hearts ache the most. Your goodness matters, and sharing that goodness reminds others of their own. Nourish that goodness and that true love within! 

All in all,

As the year winds down and the holidays approach, 

I am thankful for M/BODY and this G-Fam. 

I am thankful for taking the chance to join M/BODY for it has satisfied my soul. 

I am thankful for family, for health, and for love and beauty. 

Happy Feast Day this week- Happy Thanksgiving

Always,

Jessi

Nourish 

Yesterday, my husband and I spent the afternoon cheering for our home team, the Sabres against our friends the Montreal Canadians, and honoring our military vets for Veterans day. I come from a military background with family from both sides who have served the U.S military & taking JROTC classes in school myself. It means a lot to me. Honoring & expressing gratitude to my home team and our military vets nourishes my soul. Thank you. 💛 

Great game, we lost 7 to 5 to the Montreal Canadians. Shout out to Canada for having the best hockey fans!! 🏒 we had so much fun together.

Day 19- Feel Good Fall Challenge
It's been such a journey thus far. Sending my love to all you lovely souls. 😍 I'm pleased to say I've been able to have fun and embrace joy in ways I didn't believe were possible. I just kept attempting to let go and enjoy and it worked. I feel safe and I feel well. I've challenged my anxieties and fears to which I found the truth. I even filmed myself most of the challenge which was scary and yet so much fun. What a new perspective too! Here are some still shots below.
This CB space is something special. I was never really into social media because I didnt feel safe to express myself. The love and support we show each other feels warm, safe, and beautiful. I like our space. Keep shining your light ✨️ 💛 I'm cheering all you Challengers on!! You got this! Always know how amazing you all are. Thank you!! Keep up the good work, it's worth it.

Day 17 - Feel Good Fall Challenge ✨️
Expression
-A clip from the Fam Favs 60 min and this is my favorite move.
And my favorite quote from Martha Graham that I resonate with this season of the challenge has been,

"...there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you..."

Thank you all for your beautiful expression. Love you all!

Day 9 - Feel Good Fall Challenge
Accountability
I like the word "Accountability", it describes honesty and honesty keeps me real. I like being real. I am posting here to hold myself accountable to the commitment I've made to myself this challenge-having fun! I am following my inner compass and not letting myself feel guilty for it. Remembering I am a human being- not a human doer. I am not an object that is valued for what I can do, I am valuable for who I am.

Yeah, I haven't kept track of the times I'm using the dry brush & that's alright. I'm kinda all over the board picking out classes that fit my schedule & that's alright. I'm doing the best I can to challenge old habits and pathways of thinking I "have to" or "I should" and just allowing freedom to flow; asking myself what are my needs and what do I want and it's really fun and exciting! Honesty and truth brings so much self-discovery!

BTW, I had an awesome birthday and what made it extra special was all of you!! Thank you for the love and support. My heart is filled with joy and gratitude.
Thank you G-Fam and M/BODY team!
Love you all!
