Thanks to social media I have been obsessed over the bumble bees. I have always wanted to catch one napping in a flower after devouring all its food. Today, as I was looking over my hydrangeas I found a little bee napping. As you can tell in the last picture the bee is very much alive. Literally taking time to smell the flowers and being deliberate in my day allowed me the opportunity to catch this.

What does your energy say to other people? Yesterday I was in line waiting for a coffee. There were two registers. One was for ice cream, the other for coffee. A woman, close to my age, asks me if I’m in line. I said I think so ( mainly because no one was at the register I was waiting at ). She says it again very nasty. I said your energy is off and very toxic, go ahead of me. FYI she didn’t like that. She also told the kid making her ice cream he’s the only one that knows how to make it the way she likes and if he’s not there she leaves. I had just come from yoga, still dripping sweat, and just wanted a coffee. I didn’t let her energy ruin mine- now did I go back and tell my best friends what happened - sure did ( that’s what friends are for).

Learning how to balance keeps you in the moment. When we are unbalanced we tip and fall and allow too many distractions to come in our way. Learn to ignore the noise.

At a coffee shop this morning and saw this. It sparked a 15 minute conversation with the barista. So? Which would you choose? A life without emotional pain or a life without physical pain?

Today, in yoga, the amazing said this. It is still resonating with me 4 hours later.

Happy International Women’s Day. I have been blessed to have surrounded myself with strong women, starting with my mom. There are too many people to name here of who helped me become who I am today.
