Blocked off my schedule for 24 hours for a quick solo adventure! 😁

Hiked Banning State Park. I’ve been there 2-3 times and have taken different trails each time. This time I made a goal to make it to the waterfall! 🍁🍂

Stayed in a really cute little cabin- Postcard Cabins. I highly recommend them! Peaceful with great window views! 🪟

Then on my way back home I checked out a small county park in Harris, MN and walked by Lake Josephine in Roseville before working a promo tonight! ☀️

It’s exactly what my heart and soul needed! ❤️

Try This Thursday: Breathing Technique for Sleep 😴

Do you ever have a hard time falling asleep at night?

Try this breathing technique from Dr. Andrew Weil!

It’s called 4-7-8 breathing, and it works with your body’s nervous system to help you unwind and relax.

Here is how it works: breathe in for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 7 seconds, and then exhale for 8 seconds. Repeat the cycle as many as four times.

You should feel your body start to relax almost immediately.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes! Have you ever tried this before?

Said goodbye to my car I had for over 10 years this morning! Who would have thought I would be so emotional about it….😢

BUT I am thankful for my fancy new car! I feel like I appreciate things more than most people because I know what it feels like to have nothing. I hope you never take anything or anyone for granted! All we have is today and the present moment! 🙏🏻✨
