I am so sorry for the gut wrenching day. I am envisioning Bourbon happily greeting and helping Whiskey cross over, sharing the softest bed in front of the fireplace, snuggled together, and chatting about all of their adventures with Marnie in the decade+ they shared. And even still I can feel the sadness from afar for the humans and others left to continue creating and playing earth side a while longer. Sending all the love and hugs, and holding space for deep sobbing cries and all the ways grief hits and resurfaces as our hearts remember grieving other loved ones too. 🐾💔❤️‍🩹💗🪽

He IS tall for his age 🌱😍

I second Jemily! There are a few “guides” already made to revisit, or if you have old boards you’ve done in past challenges maybe hit the classes you missed. You can have a child, person in your life, or online random number generator pick some numbers and have those be classes you do the week ahead. You can type a word in the catalog search bar such as “energizing” or “calming” to see what classes generate.

Maybe lay out the class duration or category per day and chose from there? Decision fatigue is real but waiting until morning of is taking up all that time and building frustration rather than releasing it (I’ve been there too!). Maybe have your week laid out and have 1-2 classes in the bullpen for if you decide on a morning change up, based on energy level or whatever. But making a plan a week ahead sounds like it could work great for you. Good luck and as always welcome back!

This is wild and I’m relieved you are generally ok and that your recognize this could have had a very different outcome. Thank goodness for the protection around you, Faith! Please don’t ever question if you should be here or not as you’ve survived a hell of a lot and you’re still here and still rocking (even if not on tour at this time). Take it easy on the healing journey and through this time of changes and shifts. So, so glad you are okay girlfriend!

Aww Kasey! Congratulations to you and your fam on the sweet addition!

Your storytelling art transcends beyond photography, Amanda. I loved reading it! 😊

Adding to my Favorites! Check out impromptu post-class Q&A about form guidance for this class first (begins minute 59:50) as it was super helpful! It goes into other live comment-related topics after form demonstrations and notes. Class itself felt like half the time. Quick cardio start which felt stretching and invigorating, (extended for a 45?) weighted arm series (I used my usual 5#s and was challenged; lower weights if in between the two could be a sweet spot). Beautiful barre work with a focus on gluteal work and leg sculpting and extending/stretching. Some choreo we don’t always visit and lots of parallel foot positioning when facing the barre. BRIEF plank dance into crouching w/ a detox twist releasing one wrist at a time (less clumsy for me this class). Finish w/ ab work on the ball: paced crunch series with leg and arm dances interwoven. Felt balanced, strong, calm, and awake/present after class.

All the love to you, Liisa.

Sending out all the love to surround you as you continue on the journey… the physical parts of going through belongings and shifting accounts and helping your dad (and hopefully adding adult children names to dad’s account with permission as that makes things easier for future you all). And through the emotional journey. Beautiful words shared on your post before me and no doubt more to follow after me, so in the depths of it all (especially the ones that feel like they shake you from the ground up), I hope you can feel the company and know you are not alone, even if your unique journey is your individual experience. I appreciate how much you have given and cultivated in YOUR role as mom, regardless of what experiences you had with your own mom. I imagine some beautiful ways of showing up are continued and you very intentionally approached other aspects differently to provide for your children something you didn’t receive first hand and yet had the courage to break a few cycles. You are loved. Your mom is loved. And all the parts and pieces in between are just as valid in the vast tapestry of complicated relationships with loved ones. You are loved, Liisa; thank you for being who you are and for caring for those around you. I hope you are caring for yourself too amidst the heaviness and fog of this time.
