Intentions for the Week- Week 49 in 2025

Hello! Week 49.  How doing? We had a little break from school and are back in the mix.  I am daydreaming of a juice cleanse after this past week. How about you?  Maybe I’ll just lean into my healthy eating habits.

If you’re a paid Substack subscriber, I’m hosting practice pages this Wednesday (4:30-5:30PM PST). I’ll show you my December pages, and we’ll work on Self-Care Lists for the holiday season. 

Here are my Intentions for the Week:

My Everyday Life Week 48

My Everyday Life Week 48- Here’s what this past week looked like: 

I ordered a personal poem from Amy Turn Sharp with the direction of “momming myself,” and it arrived on my Mom’s death anniversary on Monday. How wild is that? I love it so much.

I went to Costco and thought of my Mom the whole time. I hadn’t been in years, and it brought me back to my childhood when I used to go with her.
