It's August!!! How, I do not know, since I literally still feel like I just got home from Costa Rica. But that was March 26, so apparently that was over 4 months ago now. This is the first month in a while that I actually feel in the right head space to embrace the "new… Continue reading Definitely feeling the new month vibes! Hello August!
It's February! Cue everyone saying, "Oh my goodness, can you believe it's February already???" 😄 But it is crazy to me to realize that 2023 is 1/12th over already.

(A couple years ago, I tried repeatedly to do the #75Hard… Continue reading One week in + new endeavor…
Mental hurdle: a busy gym I love our local gym, but guess what? So do a lot of other people. And this makes me happy, because it's locally owned by a couple (and the owners are super nice), AND our gym provides an AMAZING place for teens and pre-teens to hang out somewhere safe and… Continue reading Overcoming a mental hurdle, books + a meal plan!
As promised, I'm back with my 2023 Goals Idea List. I'm calling it that instead of a firm "Goals List", because I wouldn't say these are like, hard goals exactly. It's more of a.... brainstorm list, honestly. Which probably is not the right way to approach goal setting, but oh well. I basically just sat… Continue reading 2023 Goals Idea List
