Intentions for the Week- Week 51 in 2025

Hello! Week 51  How doing?  How was your weekend? Mine was full of house chores, holiday decorating, a holiday market, a visit with friends, a fun family dinner, couch cuddling, movie night, self-check-in, a yoga/dance class, packing orders, and a good NAP!  I stayed under my heated throw blanket most of the weekend because it’s COLD here.
