Yesterday I made myself say yes. I went to the advanced class and stayed even though I didn't really know anyone and I was the only female. I did fall breaks even though I was scared. I'm really glad I did because I struggled but I finally wrapped my head around the technique of falling. I pushed myself and was paid off with learning and I got to do rooming which I feel really good at and it's fun. My favorite part was that I think the guys were afraid of hurting me. I go to these classes knowing full well I'm going to come home with at least one bruise. It ended up being fun and I got into a conversation about movies afterwards with a couple of the guys. I need to just keep going. Every class I go to regularly, I end up finding that everyone is helpful and supportive. This class seems no different.4

Super busy stressful week. Took time out to meditate, read a good book, spend time with my family, and made sure to stay on track eating the right kinds of food. Now I am relaxing in my warm cozy bed. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend !!!2

Worked with a student, sharing my love & knowledge of portrait sketching & watercolor.
Learned that I need to do MUCH more of this teach/coaching❣️
Paying attention & creating (baby step by baby step) the life I always dreamed of.2 -
I'm hooking again. I had forgotten how relaxing it could be to create something. So, on my hook is a heart scarf that I'm making for me. And before anyone panics, hooking is another term for crocheting.
I cuddle with my precious Alex the Mighty. My doctor found a hair from his fur in one of my ears today! LOL

My sister bought me a diamond painting kit (like paint by number but with tiny dots. It's a Japanese art kit; very meditative. It requires no art talent. )

I loved this, it made me smile, thank you.
I used to do crocheting, & I've never heard it called that

Finally colored my grey hair. Set up a walking goal for 1km every day for the rest of the year. Doing very well with that.4
