Intentions for the Week

Intentions for the Week- Week 9 in 2023

Happy Monday, friends! Started the weekend with a Currently Workbook Zoom Date! We had a fun time together. If you want to join in next month, sign up for my newsletter and you’ll get more information.

This weekend I went to a local women’s community event with guest speakers and had my friend M.C. over for brunch. I didn’t do meal prep because I didn’t have the energy to but will probably do a few simple things this week to stock my fridge with goodness. Anywho…here are my Intentions for the Week!

Intentions for the Week- Week 8 in 2023

Happy Monday, friends! I had a busy weekend. I did prep and I am gearing up for something fun this week. Are you free Friday night?

Join me this Friday for a live zoom coloring hangout 5-6:30PM PST. We are going to work on our February pages together with our currently workbooks. If you don’t have a currently workbook and would like one, you can buy it here. If you want to download a copy of it to put into a binder situation, here’s a link to that!

You can sign up to attend here!

My Everyday Life Week 7 of 2023- a photography series by Tracy Benjamin of Shutterbean.com

Are you following The Handwriting Club on Substack?

I started a new column called Magic Mail. I’m sharing magic mail from my P.O. Box from readers like YOU there. I’m going to try to do it every week or so.

My goal is to turn it into a paid subscription podcast. I’m thrilled at the possibilities. Stay tuned for that.

My Everyday Life Week 7

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 7

Camelia season has started here and I am HERE FOR IT. Pops of pink everywhere? Yes please.

Starting my Sunday meal prep ritual.

Filled the fridge with goodness.

One of the best things about meal prep is that it can help with impromptu hangouts. Lisa came over to do some dance videos and we had some healthy snacks at the ready afterward.

Chicken Cilantro Meatballs

These Chicken Cilantro Meatballs made me realize that I need more meatballs in my life.

(What a sentence!)

Seriously though, they’re a good thing to have meal-prepped for the week. You can add them to rice or a noodle salad. I also think they would be fun in some type of ramen or soup. To tell you the truth, I just eat them cold because I’m impatient and it’s a quick way to get protein.

Here I paired them with my cucumber sesame salad (I cut the cucumbers differently this time). It’s a hearty meal that won’t make you feel like crap afterward. The meatballs are packed with flavor thanks to the cilantro & green onions. I hope you love them too.
