“Act in such a manner that you are living proof of a loving God”

Happy Friday! A lot went on this week, but most importantly a lot of self care happened. Last week when I went to the sound bath event at Bando NYC, one of the things Abigail said was to expect a strong surge of emotions. This is because you are releasing whatever is blocked inside you. Unfortunately for me this meant that I was extremely critical of myself. I was angry about everything in life, and then I was angry that I was angry and couldn’t stop. Usually if I am criticizing myself I can take a step back and let it go. This I couldn’t let go. I wanted to be critical, I needed to. In a way I believe this was me releasing negative emotions to make room for healing and more positivity. The things I was saying to myself I didn’t even believe really, I just needed to think it. Luckily for everyone who came in contact with me I was nice to– only mad at myself. This lasted for a little longer than I wanted to. It wasn’t until I attended the Almost30 Podcast event when we received Reiki healing that I finally stopped.  And now am as positive, chipper, and full of love as can be!

Happy Friday!! I am coming to you from the dead. This morning I went to a crossfit workout event at Yotel hotel. This is my second time taking crossfit, last time being 5 years ago. It was a conditioning class outside on the rooftop of the hotel…. in 80 degree weather. I. am. dead. now. It was so hot I thought I was going to pass out. I am not sure what prompted me to attend the event, since I am not a crossfitter nor am I really a fan of it. To be honest it’s my least favorite workout. When I initially got the email I thought, sure, why not challenge myself.  Kidnap me next time I make this decision. All jokes aside it was a great workout and I am glad/proud that I went. We did a lot of sprints, weights, and battle ropes. Send an Uber please….

Happy Friday!! How was your 4th of July celebration? Mine was nice. Mostly spent with my family. We started the day off with watching the Upper Arlington (my home town) parade. It’s UA’s 100th year anniversary so the theme was “A Cherished Past. A Golden Future”. The parade was amazing as usual with trips down memory lane of class reunions, seeing the high school cheerleaders (I was a cheerleader in high school), the marching band, great floats from different streets around town, and war veterans. The morning was perfect except for the terribly hot weather. It was almost unbearable. My poor grandmother had to skip the parade because of the heat. We made it through the hour and a half parade, but boy were we glad to get home to the air conditioning.
