    Reflecting on my “Month of Me” – I accidentally took almost two months off

    June 16, 2023 / 0 Comments

    The last blog post I wrote was over six weeks ago, my "Month of Me" post. When I declared May the month of me and wrote that post I didn't mean to take any time off from this blog, let alone nearly two months, but looking back at it, that may have been a good thing. Even though I love writing and I love sharing, and I love writing this blog, taking the pressure of having to write every week gave me the opportunity to fully commit to my month of me and prioritize some other things. And I think I came out of the month with some good habits…

    30 Days of Meditation

    May 4, 2021 / 0 Comments

    I've been working towards this since I started meditating last year, at the start of COVID and for the month of April I committed myself to 30 straight days of meditation! Last year, during the month of April I challenged myself to 30 days of hula hooping and managed to see that all the way through, so this April seemed like the perfect time to challenge myself again.

    Plans for a Healthier September

    September 7, 2020 / 1 Comment

    My body aches. I get headaches and stomach aches all the time. My anxiety is back at full force and my emotions are all over the place. My clothes are fitting tight again and my muscle mass is disappearing. I'm just one big mess again. So this month I've decided to get back on track and I'm listing my goals here to keep me in check and hold me accountable.

Tomorrow is the first day of fall and every summer I try to do my favorite hike, The Bridge to Nowhere. 

This summer time got away from me and as we approached the final weekend of the season I still had not hiked to my favorite spot. So @ge_rar_doh and I had no choice but to spend last Saturday deep in Azusa Canyon.

11 miles, 7 hours, and 6 water crossings 🌞

Cannot stand sitting in traffic but I will take a Cannot stand sitting in traffic but I will take a road trip any day. Love traveling to brand new places, taking back roads, and exploring tiny hidden treasures in towns you never knew existed. Nothing beats a road trip, whether you're driving 4 hours or 4 days.

Live music is magic. Live music brings me back to Live music is magic. Live music brings me back to life. And live music touches you in a way that I can't really describe...that all sounds super cheesy and over blown but that's exactly how I feel.

@falloutboy is my favorite band. Have been for over 15 years. Their music means so much to me and their songs have gotten me through so many things. From big memories to small so many of their songs can transport me back to a vivid moment in time.

I could go on and on and never find the right words to express what last night was like for me or what this band means to me, so I'll spare you a long ramble and instead I'll just share this clip that oddly enough made me tear up 🥹 since I can't share anything else because my horrible scream singing covers up everything else.
