Gratefully Gritty, a Pearl-sonal Journey

Sentimental Sunday!
I HAVE to share this all with you! We got this ground mat for our bed off of Amazon to support a better quality of sleep. BEFORE the mat, I would sleep lightly & had a lot of trouble sleeping through the night, as well as reaching deep sleep for more than 30min or so.
AFTER the mat- I get at least an hour of deep sleep every night, I only have trouble sleeping maybe once a month, and when I don't have to get up- I often sleep 10-12 hours and feel SO GOOD when I do wake up naturally! I'd say my only negative feedback on this is it makes it hard to get out of bed & function in daily life because I only want to be in bed 😆 I also attached my sleep tracking last night to show you all I'm not full of p**p 😉

A good friend of mine shared this YouTube creator with me a while back, and I now listen to her everyday. This mornings lessons needs to be shared with the greater good- we all need this message from time to time, and maybe this week more than ever!
So give it a listen, and may today be your day & a great day!

Sentimental Sunday!
I found a nice lot of fabric, all in my favorite colors and I am attempting to make my first quilt using English Paper Piecing. I have 37 varieties for the front, and so far I've made 1 hexagon of each piece. I'll keep you posted on my progress here! I anticipate this to take a year or so to complete. Delayed gratification is a skill we don't have much of currently 😉
What do you do to pass the time, become present or mindful? Or to keep your hands busy?

Sentimental Sunday! It is Sept 1rst & fall is coming! What are your favorite fall activities & treats?
I love extra soft clothing (I don't like extra layers, but if they're soft it makes it decent), hot drinks/meals & fall leaves! Definitely looking forward to some cooker temperatures before it's cold enough that white stuff falls from the sky...

Find something that breaks you out of monotony & feeds your soul!

Sentimental Sunday post!
This post doesn't exactly highlight any person or business directly- rather a goal of engagement.
Find something for yourself! In my own life, I have found it essential to always have a hobby or volunteer in order to step outside the monotony of life.

I love working with animals. I love how they embrace living in the moment, not holding grudges (unless they are a parrot lol) and sharing passionate feelings without a filter. I mean this in the best ways. I have to meet them where they are, without judgment and together we move forward in life.

I have found a great school that has given me both opportunities to grow my education, as well as my passion for teaching in order to turn a "hobby" into my next lifestyle. Which seems contradictory to how I began this post- but this new lifestyle will also give me the opportunity to keep volunteering my new skills. I look forward to working with my local humane society, a horse rescues and hopefully soon doing community events where I get to bless animals outside my clientele with some love, comfort & hope to open they pet parents eyes to a high quality of life for their pets they love so dearly.

To me that is a full circle 🔵 and I'm so Grateful!

Sentimental Sunday's!

Sentimental Sunday's, the first one!

Pardon my face, but this Sunday, I want to highlight the modality of Chiropractic care & Dr. Ian with Level Up Health Chiropractic.
I see Dr. Ian almost weekly. He helps me with some spine curvature I have, as well as adjusting me when I have headaches, heartburn, or have been walking on concrete too much (which is what I do at the zoo, all day). There is also an abdominal lift that he can perform to help relieve menstrual symptoms. You can find out more at:

My dog, Kula also sees a chiropractor currently. She partially tore her ACL and Dr. Kari with Back Country Animal & Human Chiropractic. Combined with my Animal Massage & Reiki, Chiropractic care has been so much less invasive & more therapeutic for both my dog & I, as well as my bank account! I'm so Grateful for the network of professionals that keep myself & my family going. Contact Dr. Kari at: https://www.chiropractic-littleton.com/

PS Gillian also has a room in the clinic for Animal Massage & Communication. She was 1 of my instructors & I do recommend her as well!

Sentimental Sunday's will be a weekly post, highlighting something that has current value in my daily life. From those that offer different modalities of care, to a meditation, or a recent epiphany- I hope to share things that get me through this journey of life. My ultimate goal, of course, is to help others by sharing these all with you. Maybe you know someone who could benefit from these ideas or referrals, or you need them too.

If anyone would like to try Tai Chi, I invite you to come meet Master Clarke at the Chi Center. We practice then we often have a tea & cookie break with a bit of a movie, then get back to work. A great way to slow down, be present, meet new people & possibly step out of your comfort zone. I hope to see you there!
