Oh, hello.
We haven’t hung out in a while and between getting monthly billing out, planning my classes for the week, paying bills, and other Monday nonsense I felt the need to write some things down. I’m trying to listen to my heart a little more so here we are. Life is a lot different than the last time I was here and that’s both good and bad. Here’s what is warming my heart right now:
My yoga practice - 24 classes in February with a good mix of power, restore, and meditation.
Cooking - I’ve been making more lunches and going out less, sandwiches of rotating variety are my go to. I’ve also rediscovered a love of iceberg salads. In terms of actually being in the kitchen, a salad with a grain, a hearty green, chicken, dried fruit, nuts, and homemade dressing is getting me through long nights but THIS VEGAN PASTA and a LIL RIPPER gave me life this weekend.
Budgeting - I’m targeting three days each week to not spend any money. It sounds not challenging…but it is. My bank account is showing me this is a good idea.
Planning - A moderately distant New Orleans trip is holding me until May. Other than that, I’m going a week at a time with my new Best Self Planner.
Friends - I’m making purposeful choices to hang with my friends at least once a week and it makes a difference. Oh man, does it ever make a difference.
Self Care - Sometimes self care is a massage (scheduled for Thursday), sometimes self care is scheduling all of your bills when you get them, sometimes it’s saying “I adore you but I need 30 minutes to myself.” I’ve been doing all of those lately and I feel a lot better coming out of Winter Depresh Season.
Backbends - living that big open heart life rn
A Strong Support System between Drew and MG taking care of my pup when there are long nights, Trevy Trev running to Costco or the store for me when I don’t have time to do anything, and Grace/Carly/Faryle/Meggie Sue receiving my random rambling vents I have so many people in my corner. It’s awesome.
Anyway, I’m trying to be here again more often but I’m not sure how that looks just yet. Until then, you can also find me HERE for words and HERE for tunes.
