If we were to go for coffee and you asked to catch up on what’s been going on in my life, what I’ve been doing and thinking about and working on, here’s what I would say:

I went to a new hairstylist for the first time in 16 years. (Click the link to see the before and after!)

Last Man On Earth. It’s funny. Makes me lol all by myself when I’m folding laundry.

The Handmaid’s Tale. Not funny. But incredible. I can’t even stand it. Blessed be the fruit.

Exercise. It’s good. I am back into a regime of hiking a couple mornings a week, and yoga on Fridays (even though I am not remotely bendy yet and can’t come close to touching my toes) and a couple Gravity classes wherein I think I actually hear my abdominal muscles tearing under my skin and my whole body hurts the next day. I have been doing some inner work in the realm of body acceptance, intuitive eating, and self-compassion, so it’s been a unique experience to approach exercise as more than something I’m just doing to maximize calorie burn. This path has been slow, and meandering and I have taken approximately 897 detours which have caused great pain, but…onwards. To health, to wholeness.

Social Media. I am considering taking a break for a while and see how I feel. I hate how I am glued to my phone and keep looking to it when I want a hit. Blech.

Podcasts. Still head over heels for them. My latest faves include Dirty John and Sandra

Going to make this sometime soon.

Here’s to your long weekend! Churrs!
