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!

Happy October fam 🎃
This is my favorite month because it's my BIRTHDAY month! I'll be celebrating my 34th birthday October 12th! 🎂 Plus, October 28th is my 2 year wedding anniversary 💕 Along with fall foliage, crisp apples, pumpkin spice, and Halloween, there's so much to celebrate.
Following this month's theme of RELEASE, I hope to let go of the baggage and re-lease (like renew) my love for life, beauty, and all the little things that bring me joy. We're in the midst of a kitchen remodel and it feels good to let go of the past and bring in fresh life to the space. It's been a wonderful reminder to my interior designer side. ✨️
Cheers to the October birthdays!!
Love you all!!

Hey hey G-Fam!! So excited to share that I'm trying out the Artichoke Recipe from the M/BODY newsletter a couple weeks ago. I've forgotten how much I love artichokes and this was an awesome reminder. I love the creativity of the recipes in the newsletter. Thanks Marnie and the M/BODY team.
Plus, I've invested in a Juicer! So pumped to make the celery juice instead of blending it. This was the inspiration I've needed moving into the upcoming Autumn season. I love it! ❤️ let me know of your fav juice recipes. I love beets and turmeric, and I love to try to new varieties! Wishing you all a creative and inspired Autumn coming up. Cheers !

Saving grace: M/BODY has been a constant in my life for 2 and half years. It has brought joy into my life that makes my heart smile. ❤️ I recognize that through the trauma I have experienced I get scared to be vulnerable at times and I get lost in waves of fear, I am sorry for that. It's still odd to me connecting virtually and yet I still feel a connection with you all. Maybe because our hearts know no bounds. I get scared I'll be judge based on what has happened to me when I desire to be loved for what my heart is made of and not what I've been through. And when I'm dancing, the fear and bad things cease to exist and only love is present. Everything makes sense being in the moment while dancing and playing. For all who has had their hearts pierced with pain, grief, and loss you are not forgotten ❤️ This work has reminded me of that. This work has reminded me that I can let go of the shame I've carried & I can soften, I can learn to forgive, and that there is so much joy to be had even in the midst of our sufferings. M/BODY has helped me do this through physically moving my body daily, by allowing me to soften and listen to the depth of my heart. And you all have accepted me with such love and grace even at times when I couldn't accept myself. ✨️ It's a gift I'll always appreciate and keep in my heart. Thank you. It's absolutely beautiful. In my heart, M/BODY embodies grace and beauty. I love you. Thank you for listening.

Challenge
Congrats everyone!! Cheers!!
24/30 - Coming from a head space of, "I have to prove myself and do it all," revealed my insecurity. A part of me thinks I'm not good enough and it's a lie. Every challenge I've completed, I did it all. This time I challenged myself to slow down and be with those thoughts and feelings and to nurture them, instead of work harder. More work didn't bring me fulfillment, it was acceptance of who I am truly. It was love ❤️
"Be who you are, and do it well"
