Happy Friday!
Warning…this post is mostly going to consist of cute pictures of Sullie.
Exhibit 1.In her favorite “please rub my belly…look how cute I am…you know you want to” pose.
Exhibit 2. “I’m sorry I rolled in the mud. Please don’t give me a bath.”
Exhibit 3. “Why do you torture me like this mom?”
But she secretly loves it! 🙂
Exhibit 4: This is what Sullie thinks about 4:50 a.m. alarms. NO BUENO! (She requires an extra 3-4 hours of beauty rest before she deems it acceptable to start the day!)
Just for fun…
Let’s all buy this shirt. So fabulous. I love squats!
And ending on a serious note.
I’ve been talking about this thought in my yoga classes for the last couple of days. DEEP self-love, value and satisfaction must come first before we look to any other sources for happiness. So often we attach happiness to other people, careers, finances, etc. but we have to be 100% good with ourselves before these things can be truly fulfilling…or else there’s always that feeling that somethings missing. And you spend your life waiting for that thing. Alternatively, you spend your energy in negative space of doubt, fear, anxiety, judgement, comparison and negativity. When you’re in that head and heart space, there is no space for the good stuff to show up.
Value yourself. Love yourself. Speak to yourself kindly. Be gentle with your body. Fill up your heart with beautiful things. Nurture your spirit. Then all that amazing stuff that you want from life will come abundantly without having to force it.
I can’t wait to share another reading with you on the topic that I’ll be using in this weekend’s classes.
What do you value most about yourself?

I am sitting down to write this post with teary eyes and a heavy heart. On New Year’s Eve we said goodbye to Zoey. It seems like only yesterday that I brought this fluffy nugget home. Many of you have been here with me since Zoey was a puppy. She was the sweetest little sister [...]

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a month since I ran the Every Woman’s Marathon! One of the fun things about this year’s race was getting to visit Scottsdale, Arizona. It was my first time in Arizona and while it was a quick trip, I tried to maximize my time there. Here’s a [...]

In keeping with tradition, I’m coming in hot with a last-minute gift guide. As much as I’d like to think that one day I’ll be the kind of person who has their holiday shopping done before Black Friday…it’s just not a likely scenario. And I’m okay with that! I hope this list helps you finish [...]

I am settled in back at home after a very special Thanksgiving in Florida. I cherish all of our trips to Florida but this one was extra meaningful because we had a bigger holiday crew this year. My cousin’s family came down and it was just the best to have a big tableful of people [...]
