I am looking forward to: checking off some of the todos at work that i’ve been carrying for too long. This week’s challenges: making sure the kids’ camp schedule doesn’t interfere with exercise. Top Goals:
I will focus on my core desires (bold, mindful, nourish, love) by: making one good decision at a time! This week, I will say yes to: trying new foods and exercise This week, I will say no to: worrying about the future. I am worried that: i won’t exercise. i’ll stop eating well. i will continue to be behind at work. that all the effort i am putting in won’t matter. that the kids will have a bad summer. This week, I want to remember: that my life is perfect just as it is.
How I shone this week: Another good week. Things are really hectic at this moment but we are all making it work. Kids are doing their part. Jake’s really helping and I’m trying to do as much as I can in all areas. I am really proud of our family. I am really trying to take it one day at a time and do the best I can in every area. Some days are better than others, of course, but I keep showing up! Things I wanted to get Done:
I celebrate: showing up everyday. one day at a time. one good decision at a time. I am grateful for: my incredibly supportive husband. I nourished myself by: lots of water and downtime on the weekend. Reflecting on my worries: i exercised. I continued to eat well. I caught up a bit more at work. i am closer to ready for the new cycle. i don’t have control on what matters. i am working to make time for me and my knees are just fine! and jake’s meeting went well!! I let go of: email. i just can’t catch up. Core Desire Check-in (bold, mindful, nourish, love):
What made me laugh this week: My boys. What I tolerated this week: still in pain of course and long work hours. My mood this week was: harried. Here’s to a lovely week 30. Here’s to keeping things going!
True to my word of not reading as much, I read fewer books this week. I started with the short story from Stories of Your Life and Others that the movie Arrival was based off of. I then tried to read some of the other stories but that wasn’t working out so I decided to put it down. Then I read The End of Men which is the book Maggie’s Plan is based on. It was an okay read but I don’t think it’s going to leave a permanent imprint on me in any way. I was looking forward to reading Spoonbenders but it was so hard to listen to the story, so I decided to switch to reading and it made it a thousand times more enjoyable. I loved this story and I am so glad I stuck with it. And finally it was time for some Pema Chodron, so I grabbed Making Friends with Your Mind in my Overdrive queue and let myself bask in some of her wisdom and kindness. Love her. It felt good to slow down and enjoy the books this week. Books I Read this Week 2017 is a year-long project for 2017. You can read more about my projects for 2017 here.

I’m a fan of Karen Walrond and have taken classes from her over the years. When she announced she was offering a class called Glow:The 21-day course on claiming your light I decided it was a sign I had to take it. My word for 2017 is Shine after all and actually Glow sounds even nicer but either way it was just another word for my word and so I decided universe was telling me to take it. Sometimes when you take a class from someone you’ve already taken a class from, you see a lot repeated and you don’t get a lot of value the second time. I worried this might happen with Karen’s class. But I signed up anyway. I am so glad I did. This class profoundly changed my life. It asked the right questions at the right time. It made me realize I had patterns in my life that I sort of knew but wasn’t embracing. I realized for example that I am always in a pattern of GROW : REFLECT : SHARE. As in I like to learn things, think about my learning and then share it with others by teaching or in other ways. I also realized that the parts of my life I am so proud of are always when I live life on my own terms. I decide I will do something and I just do it. I am so proud of how often I’ve done this. How my life is so catered to what I want it to be. I am so proud of that, too. It also makes me feel strong, which I love. It allowed me to realize this about myself which I can remind myself every time I feel small and forget. There’s so much more in this class. It’s wonderful, thoughtful and, for me, life changing. Stories from 2017 is a year-long project for 2017. You can read more about my projects for 2017 here.
