Usually when I’m quiet on social media it’s because I’m in a funk. Right now it’s the opposite!

My REAL life is so full that social media feels like a sorry replacement.

From volunteering, celebrating my community, and putting up some cheap Halloween decor, to stopping to enjoy Milo doing kitty things, I’m finding myself drawn away from the online world and into the real one.

It’s pretty great. 🥹

What a week. 🥹
This is Jack. The goodest boy I ever met!

My sweet baby James went door knocking with me and, even though the heat got him, he still sat and watched to make sure I stayed safe.

Puppers in the drive thru line.

The bath mat was in the wash, so Tyler made a bed out of my dirty clothes while I was soaking in the tub.

No caption necessary.

Me, seeing the dog, and then noticing a The Wonder Years shirt. Then he goes “look at my JACKET!!!!”

Found a shirt for the hubs. 😏

I’ve realized that my energy levels are in the dumpster AND my tummy is constantly grumpy…which usually means I’m undereating. 🫠

I have a Huel every morning for breakfast and an Açaí bowl for lunch, then by mid-afternoon I’m exhausted and by evening I’m STARVING.

So, I made a plan. I’m sharing it with you. Maybe you can use it, but at the very least maybe it’ll keep me accountable!

This is my locked-in eating plan for the next two weeks, then I’ll check in and see how I’m feeling…and adjust accordingly.

I started listening to pop punk and emo when I met my husband way back in 2001. I was a hippie (think Phish, Dave Matthews, Rusted Root) and he was a punk drummer. He introduced me to Switchfoot, Saves the Day, Dashboard Confessional, New Found Glory, and others I’m sure I’m forgetting!

But it wasn’t until I got sober in 2018 that emo became a lifestyle.

I had a lifetime of feelings I’d numbed that I had to learn how to manage without substances. Yikes.

But that’s what emo is all about. Expressing emotion in a way that doesn’t wreck your life.

So as I start a new music series with Echelon. called Emo Nostalgia, be prepared for BIG feelings, a little history, and some amazing music.

Thursdays
8:30pm est
Tonight starts with Emo 101. Learn where emo started, why it started, and how being called “emo” was NOT something that people liked!

I have this problem. See, when I am doing something I really enjoy, I have a hard time stopping (hello, alcoholics?).

That goes for work, too. If I’m in, I am ALL IN.

Which is great.
Sort of.

But I work until I crash - usually some sort of physical ailment like a virus or, in the most recent case, a migraine.

I KNOW I need to take breaks. But it’s so hard!!

So this is your reminder that moderation is key. Whether it’s food or booze or work you love, too much of a GOOD thing becomes a bad thing. I’m officially giving us all permission to slow down, take a break, recover, and maybe have a little snack. 😉

New week AND a new music series!!

Join me Thursdays at 8:30pm est for everything EMO!!

Week 1: Emo 101
Come ready to learn what emo really is! Spoiler: it’s not guyliner and skinny jeans. Although I’m not opposed to those things. 🖤☠️

Last year I lost 10 pounds.

This year I gained it all back.

There was a time when that would have sent me into a frenzy, immediately counting calories and macros, changing my workouts, and generally making myself miserable.

But now? My life is too full to worry about the size of my butt.

I wear what makes me feel good. I spend my time taking care of my family, working in my community, helping those who need it, and making sure you know that what your body can DO is way more important than how it looks.

I have the strength and energy to live this incredible life and an extra 10 pounds isn’t going to change that. I’m too busy being amazing to worry about being perfectly thin. 🖤

My life is currently so full of good things that I’m finding myself anxious when I slow down. 😵‍💫

So yesterday I made a point to slow down, feel the anxiety, and then find something joyful in the moment.

All these photos are from Monday. Boone saying “good morning!” Milo doing kitty stuff. Halloween decorations. A bumble bee (there were TWO!) on my obedient plant.

Self-care isn’t all bubble baths or spa treatments. Self-care is slowing down to find joy throughout the day. And when I slowed down just a bit, I discovered SO much joy!
