Last weekend I put on my big girl pants & knocked out my taxes. Technically they’re not that difficult, but it’s a task crossed off my to-do list so I’m celebrating the victory. 🎉 This past weekend was a different story. I found myself in a deflating situation Friday morning & spiraled so quickly, I could barely move by the afternoon. That might sound dramatic, but I feel like I’ve been moving against the tide for months so that was my body giving in to mental and physical exhaustion. I had to be gracious, allowing myself to do whatever the heck I felt like doing, including RELAX. I read books, took naps, cheered on Team USA in the winter olympics, & started season one of Downton Abbey. I also managed to continue & finish my 7-day cardio challenge which made me feel so proud. 🔥 Life is not smooth sailing, but what defines you is how you handle the waves that come along. So cheesy, I know, but it’s true. My days look much different in 2022, & I’m in career limbo at the moment, but I’m taking it one step at a time. If you’re doing your best to survive, I’m right there with you. You are NOT alone! ♥️

👋🏻 I’ll leave you with what I’m currently up to:
Currently Listening To: To All the Boys soundtracks | There are so many great songs to choose from, but (I think) my favorites are Moral of the Story & The Same, both by Ashe.
Currently Reading: “Relic“ by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child, “The Bookshop of Dust & Dreams” by Mindy Thompson, & “The Ravens” by Danielle Paige & Kass Morgan
Current Starbucks Order: Venti Irish Cream or Salted Caramel Cold Brew + Iced Lemon Loaf | Is this healthy? No. Do I care? Also no. 😂
Currently Watching: The Gilded Age (from the creator of Downton Abbey) & the Winter Olympics
For those of you interested, here’s the 7-day Cardio Challenge I completed:
