 What Kind of Woman by Kate Baer
 Year of Yes – 129
For mother’s day, big boy wrote me this wonderful, touching and thoughtful letter. And the best part? The code he wrote to compile the letter is shaped like a heart. I know today can be a tough day for many people for a wide range of reasons. I also know it can come with a lot of expectations. Years and years ago I used to get all excited about New Year’s Eve plans and my expectations would be set so high that we would end up having a spectacular fight every time. After several years of repeating this, one year I got really sick and we ended up in bed playing video games all night. It was the best new year’s eve and it taught me a great lesson around having no expectations and just being grateful to be here now. So that’s how I feel today. I am grateful for my sons who are kind and thoughtful and give hugs freely. I am grateful for my husband who is generous and loving and also had a deeply thoughtful gift, too. I am grateful for my nephews who are one of a kind just like my sister who is the best mom. For my friends who sent me kind, loving notes today to celebrate. And I am so grateful for my amazing mom who made all this magical family possible. Who still teaches me new things daily, who loves me unconditionally and who brightens all my days. I am using this as an opportunity to take a moment to be grateful because I know that all of this is rare and not guaranteed. I don’t want to take any of it for granted for a moment. Yes to taking a moment today for deep gratitude. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes  100 Days of Radical Wellness – Day 99
This is my definition of joy and wellness. I am so grateful it’s warm outside again. I live hearing the birds chirp. I love the sunshine on my skin and the feeling of paint in my hands. How lucky am I? #100dayproject, #the100dayproject, #karenikaradicalwellness May 9, 2021 | Tags: #100dayproject, #karenikaradicalwellness, #the100dayproject | 100 Days of Radical Wellness | Leave a comment
  Year of Yes – 128
Today was a good day. It started with a relaxing way to wake up, some snuggles with little boy, a lot of exercise and a lot of reading. Then I did some meal prep, some more exercise, painting and journaling. And now I am sitting outside again as the day gets darker and feeling that dull soreness from all the exercise joint with the serenity of a quiet evening. There is a lot going on so these quieter days are exactly what my soul is seeking at the moment and I am trying to pay attention as much as possible. Yes to the quiet. Yes to filling my cup. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes  100 Days of Radical Wellness – Day 98
98 days in this project has changed my life. Exercise, nutrition, sleep, meditation, journaling, skincare, art are all part of my daily life now. I don’t think I’ve done a 100 day project that has had such a profound impact on my life. #100dayproject, #the100dayproject, #karenikaradicalwellness May 8, 2021 | Tags: #100dayproject, #karenikaradicalwellness, #the100dayproject | 100 Days of Radical Wellness | Leave a comment
 The Missing Treasures of Amy Ashton by Eleanor Ray  Year of Yes – 127
I’ve always been a person who favors sadness. My baseline operating model is generally sad. When I was pregnant with my oldest son, it was really important to me that he never grow up to think that he was the cause of my sadness so I was determined to work on this. I printed a huge sign to put above my bedroom door which said: “Give up that there’s something wrong.” I would wake up every morning and see it. I’m a big fan of reminders. We are all works in progress and remembering the destination we strive for is helpful. This was one of mine. The boy is 16 now and I am still reminding myself to give up that there is something wrong. That everything is an opportunity or a possibility. And that perspective matters a lot. And I get to choose the story I tell myself. Yes to believing in the good. Yes to owning my own life. And yes to believing in the positive. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes  100 Days of Radical Wellness – Day 97
I usually like to wear a lot of jewelry. But now that I got climbing 3 times a week, I haven’t been able to wear any in a long long time. So finally this week I decided to bust out these fun bracelets that won’t matter to me if they break. And I love it. Cheers to finding ways to make it work. #100dayproject, #the100dayproject, #karenikaradicalwellness May 7, 2021 | Tags: #100dayproject, #karenikaradicalwellness, #the100dayproject | 100 Days of Radical Wellness | Leave a comment
