It’s dark this morning since we just had daylight savings, and this makes me just want to stay home and sleep! I’m not though, I’m heading out to work here soon and I have a nail appointment after work I am looking forward to!
Today will be a great start to the week, and I am excited for the nice weather and for it to be lighter out later!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday!
Today was much needed. My husband and I got to sleep in, so we went out for breakfast at 1pm! Once we got home I kept my promise to myself and made us green juice for the week, as well as some ginger shots! I also did a little bit of vision board journaling.
This morning I was actually crying tears of joy, and it was all because I was truly just feeling into the love and joy in my life. I used to feel so riddled with anxiety to the point that I never could just be in the present moment, and now that I catch myself consciously feeling joy, I’ve been trying to really lean into that feeling and giving it space.
Life is full of struggles and hardships, but the love that we have in our lives is what makes it possible to survive. Lean into the love around you, and remember to recognize how truly blessed you are. Sending extra love to everyone this Sunday!
Where would you go on a shopping spree?
I won’t lie, my first thought was TJ Maxx, because I find the cutest clothes there, but also I love their home decor. Then I started thinking about how my husband and I want to do so much around the house so I’m like honestly Ikea or Home Depot may be a better option at this point LOL!
What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance?
My middle name is one of the most basic middle names: Marie. My mom and I share that middle name, and as far as I am aware, it does not carry any special meaning LOL.
What is the last thing you learned?
I took a dance class on Tuesday, so I learned some choreography for the first time! Well, I guess in middle and early high school I learned some cheerleading choreography, but this was the first time learning any lyrical and hip-hop choreography!
I’ve also learned what the word Tsar/Czar is because I had actually never heard that term before in 29 years of life, so that’s great too LOL!
The eclipse is next Friday, and the chaotic energy is definitely here. I am working to stay grounded in my own energy and focused on the joy and blessings. All that is meant to be stirred up and chucked away is meant to go, and I am trusting in the universe’s plan.
Happy Thursday!
Woke up feeling grateful this morning. My friend and I took an adult dance class last night and learned almost a minute of choreography, which honestly I was pretty impressed that we learned that much in an hour, especially with us having zero dance experience!
We learned a mix of contemporary with hip-hop while dancing to Apologize by One Republic (a classic of course)! I did have a few moments where I was like “okay where tf am I and what am I doing?” but I kept reminding myself that this was no pressure and simply for fun!
I’m proud of myself for trying something new, and honestly I’m thinking about signing up for the class and going weekly! I’ll have to work around my surgery coming up next month, but it sounds like they will work with me on that. I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!!
If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?
Hmmmm… would I want to be anyone else? Maybe an extremely enlightening monk so I could see what that feels like!
Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on.
I remember when I made the shirts and goodie bags for my friend’s bachelorette a few years back! It was more stressful than I thought, but at the same time I was so excited when it was all done! The shirts and everything turned out so good! I’ll post a couple pictures below!
Not feeling 100% this morning, but I’m sure it has to do with what I ate this weekend. Sometimes if I eat too much sugar or bad food, I feel nauseous this next morning- so I know this will pass.
I just am ready to get to work so I can come back home and rest. Today may not be starting off great, but I’m not going to let that dictate my mindset for this Monday!
