The past week/weekend has flown by with such gusto that I only managed to document very small segments. But I wanted to share what I did capture.
My life is so full and I am so blessed. I really, truly am. Although I’ve been struggling with some issues lately (see latest blog posts) I am still constantly overwhelmed with how awesome life is. And how beautiful it is!
Last Sunday, I enjoyed a fun, relaxing, and easy day with my bestie, Lydia Broad Street
Wednesday of last week my sweet mother came up to spend some quality time with me and help me get my home ready for an Aloette Party! My dear friend, Leslie, is selling Aloette and I promised her when I moved I would host a party so she could come and tell us all about her wonderful product!
My mom and I attempted to hang pictures in my house, but the walls MUST be made of concrete. We couldn’t get a nail to stay in the wall to save our lives! We even bought nails that were supposed to go through concrete, but that didn’t even work. We only managed to get these two Klimt pieces up framing the door-way to my kitchen….and the rest we will leave up to a drill and my dad!
We made a stop at Everyday Gardener in Fondren and bought some lovely flowers to adorn the house. Most all the time I have fresh flowers in my presence. I believe I can never have too many. I’ve been buying flowers for myself since I was about 16. Fresh flowers are the way to this girls heart!
We also stopped at Campbell
The party went on without a hitch and I enjoyed visiting with friends. I also got a whole new line of skin-care products of which I am about to try! And since I am a product junkie, I am very excited!
Friday began our full weekend of the Yoga Workshop with Desiree Rumbaugh. I literally cannot say enough about how amazing it was to study with Desiree. I learned new things, discovered muscles I had never used, laughed, almost cried, and just was overjoyed all at the same time. Our Kulu here in Jackson
Friday night after our yoga session, a few of us ladies went for dinner at Local 463. Appropriate since Tara ’s husband (Dave) owns it. Dinner was divine (as always) and our bellies were so happy when we left!
During lunch on Saturday, a group of us dined at Alladin and enjoyed sitting outside in the sun. It was a much needed break from backbends and foreword folds!
Saturday night after yoga, I managed to run home in time to shower before heading to a dinner party with my co-workers! I don’t know if you remember my post back in December, but we had a similar dinner party. The company was lovely and the food was to die for. Literally, Vasch’s sister, Yas, is the most amazing chef possibly EVER. She wined and dined us until I was falling asleep on her couch!
Sunday we wrapped up our final yoga session with Des. When I went to hug her good-bye, there were tears in my eyes. Nothing but warmth, love, and wisdom flow from her. Her parting remarks to me were, “keep on making those green smoothies, Jen!”.
“yes mam” I replied. Yes mam, indeed.
Who would have thought 2 years ago that I would have a consistent yoga practice, love green smoothies, and be in grad school??
Not me!
For those of you who made my week/weekend so marvelous, Thank You! I hope my gratitude for you shows in my actions but also, incase it doesn’t, I wanted to verbally acknowledge how amazing the people in my life are.
I'm winding down from this long whirlwind of a week by laying on my couch and watching Ratatouille and thinking about my long upcoming week.
May we all go forth into this next week with ease and grace and so much love!
As always,
yours,
Jen
