It has been an overwhelming and exciting week, and we've made it through to Friday. The past few days have been a reminder that it's those times that both challenge and reward you that highlight our amazing ability to find balance in life. I'm looking forward to a staycation in a chic hotel, some good pampering, and starting to digest soul-nourishing writing in anticipation of the coaching certification that I kick-off one month from today!
Here are a few things that have been getting me through the past few days.... and wishing you a weekend full of any sort of love you choose to feel - mutual love, self-love, life love and beyond:
- Playing José González's gorgeous new album, Vestiges and Claws, on loop.
- Watching the fascinating "A Year in Burgundy," which follows winemakers in the Burgundy region of France and the cultural differences in how they produce their wines. The documentary is available on Netflix.
- Finishing my sixth week of a popular online workout guide that has been totally transformational. I haven't seen such an evolution in my body's shape and tone since college, and I'm extremely impressed.
- And finally, a quote from Conscious Loving, a fantastic guide on creating co-committed and creative relationships that has me utterly transfixed:
“The most creative and evolved people we know are those who use every situation as an opportunity to learn about themselves. Openness to learning is a hallmark of evolution. It makes learning and acknowledging even the most soul-shaking facts about yourself easier and more fun. With a strong commitment to inquiring into yourself, the universe does not have to use catastrophes to wake you up. ”
