I’m still thinking about doing a budget, but because I am friends with a few different mechanics I was able to get work done on the car for 10% of what another shop was asking! 10%, and I am adding a basket of our handmade bath salts, herbal teas, and aromatherapy pouches.
I am
flossing regularly,
Meditating
regularly,
In the

And play
basketball in the park.

therapy working on issues in my life that make me feel like I am growing and
making incredible progress.
I am
also in couples therapy with Katy and feel similar about the steps we are
making.

plan,

care of 4 fantastic pets,
And manage
a full backyard and garden in the warm season.

that would’ve otherwise been thrown away.
I take
the bus whenever possible and am always quick to offer my seat to anyone that
looks like they could use it.
I make most
of my food at home and try to eat balanced and healthy meals.
I try to
limit my screentime, time on social media, and sensationalized news/media.

talk to my inner child and “reparent myself”, and understand and accept all of
my complex parts.
