Amber – What a fabulous idea to journal outside! It sounds like you were really thoughtful about self-care today, which is 100% the point!

Cheers,
Amy

I wanted to drop in quickly and let you know I’m off to do my self-care for today – my Saturday long-run with a group of crazy, amazing runner friends. It’s exercise and social time all in one. I love self-care that packs a one-two punch, don’t you? I’ll work on putting together all the names and doing the drawing tonight so stay tuned. Be sure to check your email boxes today and tomorrow to see if you are a winner. If you aren’t on my mailing list already, please be sure you are on so that you can get some of the cool creative self-care goodies I offer just to my list of wonderful, creative souls.

Cheers,
Amy

Your response is so kind and sensitive, and exactly the reason I love the people who come to hang out here.

Hillary,

I am sorry this morning started out so difficult for you and that things you were most looking forward to have been taken away for now. I hope you got the chance to rest and let go. Hopefully the doctor and insurance companies can take some of the stress off your plate.

It was in the evening and we live in a fairly rural area with lots of trees so it was actually quite loud with the sounds of birds and insects. I’ve become interested in bird watching lately and was excited to hear an Eastern Screech owl, something I wouldn’t have been able to identify a few weeks ago. 🙂

Thank you for this week of self-care reminders! It has been lovely hearing everyone’s stories.

I did take a small hike in an area that allowed me to enjoy the cool air, beautiful mountain views and free range cattle. So, like a 5 year old might do, I mooed at the cows-we definetly had their attention, before they quickly moved off 🙂

Today, I also took my kids and their friends to the pool and I swam laps during the rest periods. My young one and I also cleaned the car while my oldest went off to volleyball practice:)

I’m glad you had a similar scene to enjoy! I am going to a wedding tomorrow so I took some time this morning to do it. It’s a magenta color… a pinkish purple shade. I actually did my toes… Stays on longer! Haha! I sometimes feel better and more confident when I take the time to do little things like put on moisturizer (coconut oil) on my skin or put color on my nails. Nice to combine the task with being outside today.
