Opportunity and adventure! Let's GO:)

I have very much been experiencing life in the space of ebb and flow as of late....something challenging will happen or bubble up, and then there will be something amazing, and the contrast has been on repeat, and so noticeable.....and it has been kind of curious not only to experience but also to observe......so in that spirit.....I had my car serviced yesterday, leaving me with a $1600 responsibility, and I still need to put 4 tires on it next week......I know ugh right....but I was grateful I had the means to make it happen so that is the part I am leaning into:) And also that it was due for servicing and maintenance stuff.....and what gotten taken care of, needed to be handled for sure......so I should be good for a good bit. Also the guy gave me a deal on my quote for tires next week, doing buy 3 get one free, even though the promotion wasn't happening at this time:) And car stuff is what it is right?? A necessary part of life..........But in stark contrast also this week I got a Podcast opportunity that I am super excited about.....and the potential that lies in the logistics is exciting! And I cannot wait to see where it goes:) I also got asked to return to my school's in service day to do a workshop on their wellness day! I am going to be doing 4 sessions.....and last year I did a broad self care session......but this time I am going to do a session on meal prepping as self care.......offering lots of ways to meal prep healthy food for a busy week, and actually build time into the session for the participants to create food lists, and decide what ideas they want to try. Helping further with busy schedules, and the time challenges! So that is a fun topic for me to explore more, and it is one that I have grown pretty skilled in, and I feel like I have some valuable things to offer.......and the kids and I are here on our long weekend.....heading to an impromptu adventure in upstate NY for the day......hiking a spot I have wanted to for ages......bucket list stuff......we have been hiking but not nearly like we did, the weather over the winter, and this summer sorta putting a damper on it at certain points.....so today looks to be a perfect day.....lower 70s and sun:) We are also planning on catching a pizza dinner before we leave at this funky farm place......and so I guess my point is that life is not ever one way right?? It ebbs and flows.....and I tend to focus on the flow;-) And it helps me endure the ebbing.....I am super excited to adventure with my kids today, it is truly my favorite place to be......the rest of this weekend will hold chores, some painting around my house.......meal prep......odds and ends to get ready for the fall and winter but today we explore:) Also update on 10,000 steps, I invested in an old school pedometer, so I did not have to be tethered to tech, and I love it:) It clips everywhere and makes tracking simple and I have met my goal every day and most days and then some! So check it out if you have that goal in mind too:) Enjoy the day!! xoxo
