My Everyday Life Week 1

Here’s what the first week of 2023 looked like! My Everyday Life Week 1

Filling out my Currently Workbook this week! My word for the year is NOURISH.

I’ve spent the past 6 months rehauling my approach to food. I’ve lost 30 lbs and will hopefully share more about that soon.

This week was my Mom’s birthday. She would have been 77. 

This portrait of her is a gift from Casey. I cried when I first saw it. When it was lit on the wall, it felt like she was alive for a moment. SO SPECIAL!

Went over to MC’s house this week and danced! I was so excited to find out she likes The Fitness Marshall too! 

Getting my workouts in through dance has been so good for my mental health.

Sent out a big batch of orders this week. Thanks for the support!!

I love how many people sent my products as gifts. It makes me think of how there’s an added layer to the magic I send out…that it will be an unexpected surprise for a loved one. 

Never a dull moment with this guy.  He’s usually IN the sink.

Found a flower on the ground outside the grocery store. 

Added some pink to my hair. It’s temporary fun! 

This cat is keeping me warm. He’s on my lap right now as I type this.
