Favorite things:

1. Zyia leggings. Full coverage, variety of compression and lengths, and they use real women models in all variety of sizes. Had them for years and no holes, snags or thinning. Amazing quality.

2. Podcasts: Mind your Business by James Wedmore. Mindset for entrepreneurs.

3. My women's Bible study. We had more of a mindset focus this year. Started with "It's okay not to be okay" with Sheila Warren, then "Forgiving what you can't forget" with Lysa Terkheurst, and getting ready to start "Ashamed: Fighting Shame with the Word of God" by Scarlet Hiltibidal. There are 5 of us attending faithfully and we are going deep with each other, learning, growing, calling each other out, speaking truth into each other's lives. I'm SO grateful for these women and how God is moving.

4. Ally Love on Peloton. Got back on the bike toward the end of 2023. Rode over 60 miles in January. Goal is 500+ for 2024. Ally's smile, positivity and support as she challenges me is so refreshing.

I adore this. And am looking forward to checking some of those out.

A few of mine:

Camino Island Coffee - this company is doing coffee in the most wonderful way and their coffee membership is bringing me and my espresso machine joy

A second play through of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. A world where I get to explore a giant open world. Catch bugs and pick flowers. Cook. Fly. Build contraptions. This game had so much to do and it’s a great way to pass time.

Disc golf - moving my body and throwing pretty discs is one of my fav things. Bonus for the friends and community it builds.

Bestie Get-aways - my cousin and I connect in Vegas and it’s always one of my best trips

Thanks for that word by the sister who so eloquently described the strength of “Jesus of Nazareth”

I love this! My favorite lately is a wooden moving mechanical whale... the rhythm soothes me. I am listening to everything from Yame (it's in french but honestly you don't need to understand it to hear it). Also watching people unclog drains on tiktok don't ask me why 🤣 I have also been doing single leg RDLs in honor of Megan thee Stallions workout posts.

Great idea!

Chai Tea Latte with almond milk. It is a treat and feels like a warm hug.

A private Facebook page called In Good Company: Mothers of Adult Children with Mental Health Issues. A great support and a safe place to share the reality that others might easily judge or not understand.

20 days until the first Spring Training baseball game. I'm a bit aimless during the off season - usually the 4 months of the worst weather. I need my happy place - in my hammock with iced tea listening to a Guardians game called by the funny and excellent play caller Tom Hamilton - Hammy.
