Intentions for the Week

Intentions for the Week Workbook by Tracy Benjamin now on sale!

Intentions for the Week- Week 2 in 2024

Happy Monday, friends!

I kinda dropped off the face of the Earth for a bit and took a break from sharing my Intentions for the Week! I was busy getting ready for the holidays and the Intention Workshop (which went really well!) and I’m ready to get back into the habit. Taking a break and seeing what happens is always a good way to test how much a habit works. THIS ONE DOES CUZ MY HOUSE IS A MESS AND OMG DO I NEED AN ANCHOR. Cooper returns to school midweek and we are ready to get back into the swing of things. 

This weekend I found some extra energy (I have no idea how) and did some meal prep.  I need to find some more energy to clean the house and put our Christmas decorations away. WISH ME LUCK
