At the beginning of the pandemic, I wasn’t too keen on doing at-home workouts. I enjoy going to the studio; seeing familiar faces, being challenged by an instructor or fellow participant to work harder, having fun while sweating. Sure it was nice to have a little break from over-exhausting my body, and my body really needed this break. I was experiencing shoulder, neck, and back issues at the beginning of the year. Now I do not have as much of an issue and if I have any inflammation in my muscles or joints, I do workouts that are low impact like yoga or fast-pace walking for a few miles.

Wear What Makes You Happy

The other day when I was getting dressed to go run errands, I was browsing through my summer wardrobe. There are so many cute dresses that I have yet to wear this summer; just hanging there waiting to be worn. I started going through the inventory of outfits that have been on rotation over the past month or so and realized how tired I am of wearing them everywhere. That is when I decided that I am no longer going to let the pandemic influence my fashion choices. If I want to wear a cute floral dress or high heels I am going to.

Hope is the audacity to believe after all I have been through there is more ahead of me.”

Happy Friday!! Even though the days seem to run together, I still look forward to the weekend. A chance to step away from work, emails, and social media to enjoy the fresh air or a good movie. Sure the weekends are not as fun as they used to be pre-pandemic, but I am finding joy in the little moments that make me happy.

And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.”

Happy Friday! It’s raining in NYC, which I completely welcome. It has been ungodly hot here lately; it’s nice to have a day or two that feels cool. A day where you can lay on the couch and read or listen to music. A day of calm.
