This week's joys 🎂

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

The promise of warmer weather this weekend has me feeling a little lighter in that we'll be freed from this icebox we’ve been living in for the past few weeks. Snow, you were beautiful but enough already. Be gone!

Here are the joys that have kept me sane, embodied, and grateful this week:

Watching Bad Bunny‘s Super Bowl halftime performance. It was such an expression of joy fully embodied, love of all kinds, pride in what makes each of us unique, and the power of community. It felt like a prayer for the manifestation of all these things on a larger scale. The entire performance was fun and beautifully done. No notes.

Two downy woodpeckers have discovered one of our bird feeders. I had never seen one in person before but now the pair are regulars. I like to think that they’re a couple. Either way, they’re adorable to watch.

I took the day off to celebrate my birthday on Tuesday with a much needed massage followed by a relaxing facial. That evening, Patrick surprised me with flowers, chocolate covered strawberries, and a cute mini cheesecake (that we both devoured after dinner). I received so many beautiful birthday messages from the people in my life- I'm feeling very loved.

Wishing you a beautiful and (slightly) warmer weekend!

Off the Massage Table Offerings

On demand yoga, meditation, breathwork, and mindset practices that are designed to fit into your life and schedule. I've created each practice to be 30 minutes or less in length and they can be accessed anytime, from anywhere on your laptop or mobile device. Cancel at any time. Try your first month for free with code FREEMONTH.

Yoga means union — a remembering of our connection to ourselves, to one another, and to something greater. This community class is a space to come home to that sense of connection. Each class will begin with pranayama (breathwork). You’ll then be guided through various asanas (postures), exploring them through longer holds as well as through fluid, mindful movement. We’ll close our practice with savasana (final resting pose) and a short meditation. Props and variations will be offered for all levels of experience. My intention is to offer practices that can be accessible to all, regardless of finances, so this class is offered as pay what you can.

In this newsletter, I share what I’ve learned (and am still figuring out) about how to show up more fully for myself- with the hope that it supports you in doing the same. Because when we fill ourselves up, we’re so much better equipped to show up for our people, our communities, and the moment from a place of overflow, not depletion.
