“They” say, happiness is found in new experiences. I really believe this is true. I know the Best vacations I have had, are the ones that have been new experiences. What would happen, if once a year we picked an event or festival in a big city (or little) and decided to buy plane tickets and go? I was watching good morning America this morning and it seems today is pickle day in Philadelphia. It’s a huge event for them. That is when this idea popped into my head. It can be as trivial as pickle day, or is grandiose as watching the ball drop on New Year’s Eve. What should I absolutely see in your neck of the woods?
Mine? I live close to Seattle, and my favorite annual event is the Fremont solstice parade. You just can’t beat naked people on bikes!! Google it!

Having grown up with a narcissistic parent, this took me most of my life to learn. I always thought I had to make my parents happy for them to love me. It took me over 40 years to realize you have to let go and allow that person to be whatever they choose to be... even if that means they are someone who can never really love you. I had to let go of that too. The hardest, but most healing thing
I’ve ever done.

Just because it’s what you’ve always done, doesn't mean you have to keep doing it.

My biggest passion for the last 11 years has been teaching my fitness classes. It has suited me well... until it didn’t.

This past year has been a struggle. Time has been scares for much other than 2 jobs and household responsibilities. I was feeling it in every aspect of my life, from health, to relationships.

This picture is representative of why teaching is my passion. These people are my tribe (my hubby is in there too)! They just get it. I am completely me around them and they feel like home.

This picture was Tuesday after my last class. My health, and relationships are moving up to the front seat and these people are a part of my new chapter.

I thought I’d be sad. I am excited.
I can’t wait to see what this new chapter brings. NO. I can’t wait to see what I bring to this new chapter.
Change your routine to fit the life you want. ♥️♥️

Best part of my day today was learning that in one year of working with Hashimoto’s, my antibodies have gone down from 75 to 50! I still have a lot of work ahead of me, but this is definitely motivating to see hard work pay off. Time to step up my game and move forward!

Swipe to see the pic that ‘really’ applies. So every month for at least a week around the time Aunt Flow is contemplating a visit, my, Give a S**t button gets switched off. I legit don’t care. Healthy food? Don’t care. Fitness? Don’t care. Calories? Don’t care. Mobility? Don’t care. It’s frustrating because I do care, but there seems to be a chemical in the brain that abandons me, leaving me to lounge around, eating all of the things. Now that my Give a S**t button is turned back on, my next goal is to strategize a success plan for the next time I don’t care.
Anyone else go through this? What do you do to get through?
