Intentions for the Week- Week 46 in 2023

Happy Monday, friends!

This weekend I went on a few adventures. Two grocery visits (Ranch 99 and Cardena’s), dropped off 7 bags of donations at Goodwill, made some art, and did meal prep!  I’ve been showing a more in-depth approach to meal prep for my Instagram subscribers for the past month.  Sign up through Instagram if you wanna see how I do it. 

Let’s get into it! Here are my Intentions for the Week.
